Maaaan, not Tuch I get that $hit isn't looking very promising at the moment (or, for the last decade + TBF) but trading away Mr Upstate NY really sends home the message that rebuild 3.0 is reality

Just read an article on the athletic....looks like due to no practice or workouts while on blood thinners...he is out 3-6 months. Crazy bad luck Zach wheeler in baseball too

Not at all. He's another oft-injured bottom six guy. His best game this season was against the Sabres (at the height of his trade rumors, trying to be noticed by his own coach or around the league) and he hasn't scored a point since. A drifter who only shows up in spurts is the furthest from what the Sabres need.

Between the semaglutides AND Suboxone, add-on "emergency" cases have gotten interesting 😃

I care...

You always draft the overall better player in the early rounds, then you can scheme with what that player brings. Especially for a WR. Coleman - Hey lets draft a guy that played more basketball than football, that might be good at contested catches, and then we can throw 4 low percentage passes a game at him. So far he will catch 2 of them on a season. Yeah, nice scheme. Coleman has not had given us a 50 yards in a game in 6 out of the last 7 weeks. Allen is dying with him getting all the snaps that he does.

I was going to say, from the recent articles/discussions r/t Chinakov, does acquiring him effectively deliver said, intended message?

Isn't ZPAK a second-line antiB for Lyme disease (primary being doxy)?

You can always tell how excited we are as a fan base judging from what time the GDT’s are started. Ten am is pretty accurate. We barely care and it’s not even Thanksgiving.

But, shouldn’t this be expected? He’s 17 and most 17 year-olds are still in high school.

Im not a big chinakov guy. His motor doesn't rev high enough for me

Go Sabres

That's why I posted that pod. Baker and Fairburn aren't a couple of amateur hot heads. Fairburn is the Sabres beat writer for the Athletic and Baker runs the website Sabres Prospects. They are both fairly plugged in. Fairburn in particular paints a picture of Adams and Kekalainen working in tandem, not of Adams looking over his shoulder. They think a transition is in the works, perhaps mid season. I wonder if a deal for Chinakov is near? They didn't mention it specifically, but stressed how vital it is for the locker room to make a move to show they are trying to bolster the team.

I tried to tell ppl last month that Jarmo was in Buffalo but it got no traction. It's pretty clear to me Jarmo being interviewed for gm and is here so Pegula gets to know him and is comfortable. I have this hope Adams has the capacity to recognize he can't do it and will be moved to advisor to the owner role.

Did anyone listen to the podcast I linked? It discussed Kev stepping down (or up?) to allow Jarmo to be GM and take over deal making. Also they say Jarmo has been in Buffalo daily, in the building and at practices, not living in Columbus full time as we believe he is.

His glass collection ?

He can be sent to the AHL without having to go through waivers. Kevyn Adams gets rock hard when he does it as he thinks it makes him look smart.

Well Kevyn certainly is special, innit? Seriously though, this is going on too long to be a random variation. Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

GMKA extension will become reality due to the injury excuse…..there is no hope for this team’s future.

Caleb Malhotra is a guy to keep an eye in the 2nd round. Reminds me a bit of Helenius but not as good.

It's not a stat. His skating is better than Geekie at the same age. Really it's just his edge work. I don't think he's dynamic in his rushing either... but if you need a guy to dig pucks out or to take pucks from the wall to the HD area, Belchetz can do that. Still super early in the process so we'll see how he develops. He's a guy I wish went ncaa. I wanna know what happens when he's not 5 inches and 40lbs heavier than most ppl on the ice. He's in the top 5 for me right now but again, I don't really like to make a list until January.

Did RyJo kick Lindy's dog or something? Why can't they give him a shot over Bryson?

They aren't though... they were losing games before the injuries. The injuries don't matter.

If the Bruins waive Aspirot claim him. Good, stable, boring and uninspiring stay at home D man who made virtually no mistakes in the games he played. Much better than Bryson and a reasonably good compliment to any of the puck movers.

Just call me Nostradamus. Told ya injuries would be this year's excuse before the season even started.
