95th percentile height 20th percentile weight If she were a guy, she'd be a Sabre. 😉 Good for him. Wish them well.

Umm. Maybe you're doing it wrong?

Nothing will incite uncontrollable rage like being married. Maybe this is the year Owen gets that ballyhooed mean streak that fans have been clamoring for.

If she isn’t standing on a box, their kids will be massive human beings.

Looks like Power received another partner this offseason

Trump surrounds himself with Epstein material.

So far Trump has told Putin 100 days to stop the war, 24 hours to stop the war, and now 50 days to stop the war. Now most of this was probably so Putin could try to control more of Ukraine but the last one is funny b.c it's not Trump getting angry that Putin stopped being friends with him. https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-pals-trump-russia-threat-160538732.html Everyone is laughing at the US, even Iran...

No... The team went on to say they think he will be ready for the start of training camp. Lets pump the breaks on the sky is falling.

Perhaps most of the GMs just think well, we aren't beating Florida yet anyway so why waste it this year when next year's FA crop is so much better.

And maybe I seem a bit confused Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

That's the trick, we are doubtful to get within 5mil of the cap ceiling so we can go 1 mil + 3mil in production/games played based incentives Plus you can convince Pegula of the possibility he doesn't hit all 3 incentives

McKenna And we won’t capitalize hell, we may be secretly in on it

Costs nothing but cap space. Lot of talk that he's made a deal with the Leafs, just waiting for another shoe to drop before they make it official.

For accuracy sake, Puckpedia has them at 13th in cap space but your point still stands. $7.3M is plenty of room to add a pretty good hockey player. ***** Separate from the Sabres, it's crazy how much cap space remains available around the league with no good free agents left to spend it on. 12 teams have $10M or more available. Six have $15M. The Ducks have $29M. The best remaining UFAs are guys like Roslovic and Olofsson. There's no point throwing an offer sheet out there for one of the restricted guys because everybody's got the space to match. It's a bizarre off-season after five years of dead cap. Plenty of room for hockey trades, it's just that GMS are so out of practice at those; they're used to sellers and buyers.

Ya I mean they are sitting on 7+ right now. Obv if they bring in a F it changes things beyond the Timmins extension but I’ll believe it when I see it The most dense transaction periods are through

After years of having $8MM+, getting under $5MM is progress. But personally do expect them to bring in at least 1 more F which would put them likely at ~2MM in cap space. Which IMHO IS acceptable. Don't fully trust Adams to be able to navigate getting down to where the Tampas and Vegases of the world live. And if they held the $2MM or so all season, they'd be able to bring in ~$5MM worth of ST salary on the books. What could a $5MM player done for them 3 seasons ago. Won't get on Adams case for having ~$5MM in space (realistically) right now because we're still 2-1/2 months away from puck drop. And there are still at least 2, if not 3 or more, realistic options of how they can spend that money on players that should make them better. Will it make them enough better? Wtf knows? Wouldn't have money on it but maybe, if we squint just right, maybe.

I don’t see the cap space as noticeably different this year. On track to have about 5 mil. They are top 10 in cap space now - completely unacceptable for a team 14 years out It’s bottom 10 spending teams that don’t make the playoffs

Would prefer him to Rust.

He very likely is. The issue becomes will he get there before the "big 3" have decided they want out. Realizing 2 of them are locked up for as long as Power and Norris are. But they have to show them that the team is serious about winning to make sure that what has been 14 years of a bad situation sets up to be at least 3 more years of really bad situations. It's flat out astounding just how bad that S&C coach was to have singlehandedly caused them to just miss the playoffs 3 seasons ago and regress each of the last 2 years. Htf did he keep his job THAT long? Thankfully the issue was identified and corrected so we can now watch them march forward back into the NHL. And we will finally be closer to seeing the Sabres not only roll out their own Pronger / Niedermayer but perhaps, and we can only dare to hope, their own Savard, Robinson, Lapointe.

We could do a lot worse then Patches on a one year deal Even Roslovic wouldn’t be bad, but he is prone to the odd stretch of uninspired play thats why patches makes sense, he clearly still has it. Might be a bit slower, but he still plays the game the right and is still mean and tough, I’d take a shot

It is truly astounding. From a slightly past his prime Steve Ott and an in their primes Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek and Andraj Sekera to an in his prime Ryan O'Reilly to close to their primes Eichel, Reinhart, and Ullmark to essentially in his prime Montour to Rasmus Dahlin today; they've wasted truckloads of talent. At least now, for the 1st time in 5 years they aren't letting tons of cap space sit idle (and if they bring in another player or 2, they'll essentially not be wasting any cap space). Though by not fixing the issues with the coaching they still could very easily be throwing the talent of guys like Dahlin, Tuch, Thompson, Benson, Norris, Kesselring, and Byram into a pile in the corner once again.

Many people get stuck in the valleys of their lives. With the Sabres, believe or no, we're not talking about average people, we're talking about competitors at the highest level. The players can decide to collectively walk up the hill, despite the foibles of the organization, just to see what the view is like from the ridge line, even if only for a season.

Your knowledge of the rules and how to translate them is actually quite impressive and appreciated.
