This one is a maybe and maybe not. I have friends in St Louis telling me Kyrou is in the dog house for his playoff performances and that his two way game is not up to par. He is skilled but unwilling to play Blues style hockey. So would the Blues would be interested in getting a very similar player in JJP (struggles with 2 way game), so maybe not? Since they can sign JJP for less $$, and less term, and get out of the Kyrou deal, and replace so maybe.

There is one critical different between Vegas' use of LTIR and the Sabres. Vegas has a roster good enough to make the playoffs without Mark Stone in it.

It’s a good question Probably a defence mechanism Thinking about it, I also probably achieve a level of satisfaction by vaguely alluding to arguments I feel I’ve been right about/predictably salient in the past (in this case, Eichel) when I’ve rightly/wrongly perceived it to he an issue where I was in the vast majority (called the captain of said majority many times, in fact)

How about goalie? (just kidding)

The Houston Sabres? Well at least Kevyn can have his yearned for Palm Trees and No taxes

and with Vegas circumventing LTIR and their tax advantages that definitely aided them

Can he play defence?

ya Kyrou would be a big get i know we are giving up the younger player but man Kyrou is a great player

Shoot. Works for us.

Capspace and age? Wanna get younger

Is there a reason Blues would want to do this?

No, it's ***** impossible to ignore. Every post from you is the same thing over and over and over. 450 variations of Pegula and Adams suck. Everyone knows already. Agreed

I think we are past that. We can see how poorly this run. Loyalty goes both ways.

For me it is He’s crushed this franchise. If you don’t like the comment just ignore it. Simple solution.

Omg we get it. Every post doesn't need to be about Pegula and how much he sucks.

What’s really sad is that we know that when a player has a NMC there is good chance that Buffalo is on that ”hell no” list. Thank you Mr. Pegula for putting us on the stench list of undesirables.

Joe Marino suggested a JJP for Jordan Kyrou swap. It needs to be done before 7/1 as Kyrou has a NMC starting then. This would be a great deal for Buffalo. Kyrou is signed long term at 8.125 AAV

No. My understanding is that when Golisano sold the team to Pegula he had a clause in the sale contract that prevented the buyer to sell the team to anyone who was going to relocate the franchise. Is that clause enforceable or are there work arounds? I don’t know. It should be considered that Pegula also owns two other franchises in the area so maybe that will be an inhibiting factor to who he sells to if that is what he wants to do. The hiring and retention of KA after a failed stint should disqualify this big boat guy as a hockey owner. These were reckless and stupid decisions. Frankly, I’m tired of this rich and stubborn fellow.

The latest 32 Thoughts comment (that is that Buffalo was not interested in moving him but is now open to listening) makes me think they made Peterka a solid offer and he rejected it and/or has asked to be moved. I suspect he's going to be moved and we just have to hope it isn't the start of another exodus. I won't. I do not blame any Sabre for wanting out. If you were drafted by them and after 5 years of futility saw this stay the course attitude wouldn't you want out?

Last minute decision: going to see EXTC tonight.

Yup that's definitely a difference. Hyman out on one side Marchand added on the other, Florida's third line is a dominant one for sure. I suppose you could argue that Florida would have gotten someone else had Marchand not been an option but who idk. You know for sure they don't care about future draft picks. Marchand wants a cup. Two other points I'd add. I don't think whoever signs him for next year will be happy or spend wisely. They will not get this for the season and it most definitely won't age well. He will also not be as hungry for a cup so while he might give that team a playoff bump it won't be worth what they will end up paying him. I don't think so anyway. Lots of Boston fans are also upset with Sweeney for only getting the conditional first (conditions met) but Marchand basically did to them what Taylor Hall did to us. Only one destination on his list and he had a NMC. He got his cup shot and he appears like he will do anything to not blow that chance.

when did you start peddling in troll sh1t?

He was a perfect bottom 6 player for us and one that we spent many years trying to replace.

Dahlin and TNT would've been traded long ago and Pegula would be icing an AHL team at the cap floor, with a coach he didn't have a personal connection to, to do that. This is worse. They're just this inept and haven't really learned anything about roster construction after 14 years of ownership. They've made a couple strides in the last couple years: they're trying to slowly build around a couple very good players (Dahlin, TNT), they found a good middle six player (McLeod) and haven't lost him yet, and I think Ruff's input last year finally showed that roster roles are more important than friendships and potential (keeping Zucker/Greenway, but moving Cozens). Still no clue with goaltending, defensive defensemen, or center strength -- you had ROR and Eichel (and Reinhart, who's proven to be a wing) and were like... nah, let's go with TNT (a winger) and Mittelstadt, who the coaches didn't like enough to start the season on the active roster over an 18 year-old Cozens, and Cozens himself who will also probably prove to be a wing in the long run.

Wishes Americans would be more like North Korea.
