Please, for the love of God, can they stop showing the World's Most Awkward Couple every other cut away from the ice?

I'm not sure what we are disagreeing on. Since Byram was only here for a year if we do trade him we have to look at what we get there and ultimately that's what we got for Mitts in net terms with Adams in charge. I'm actually kind of interested to see what happens to Mitts in Boston. Nothing to do with liking the Bruins just speaking objectively on this point. Colorado thought he could be a 2C and he just never fit and they bailed on him for the presumably more playoff ready Coyle. Now they hate Coyle though so maybe it's something in Colorado? Mitts did not look good end of the Bruins season but that team was a mess in disarray in full on tank mode. How he functions on what appears will be a highly structured shut down defensive team next season is a mystery. I don't think it will go well for him but you never know. I personally think Byram is overrated and most of all I think Byram is overrated in Byram's head. Maybe he can thrive somewhere as a top offensive D man but I have my doubts about that too. We shall what Adams gets for him. If he's traded.

Good F that guy

What a horrific performance by Kane this series.

And, really, does any other calculation matter at this time? Had there been a trade Adams *hasn’t* won? Given circumstances? I’m not sure we can complain very much that there doesn’t appear to be a correlation between “winning trades” and “winning”. Nay, it’s probably better just to change our goal

I agree with you and that's a further point on the problem with not firing Adams and turning it over to a new (experienced) NHL GM. With Adams kept people around the league scratch their heads and think how does he keep his job, and players in free agency aren't going to think Buffalo's got it right now I'm interested. They're going to think same old loser franchise no thank you. A new guy could at least announce "the losing stops now and we will fully commit to winning now" etc. and even if it's bs it at least might set the tone and some people might buy in.

The Oilers clearly trying to avoid the physical engagement of the last game.

What it is is revisionist. People are incredibly happy to point out when sabres players do better elsewhere, what, it can’t work the other way? The fact it does on other teams in fact proves it can work in the opposite. Casey was statistically our best F at the time we dealt him - he was demonstrably good, here. If I had to guess if he’s still he that guy, here, if he was, I’d have to say yes “Mitts for Byram was good because although Casey produced more for our team Byram is the better trade asset” is last-decade thinking get off that treadmill

Oh look, Kane to the box... Again

These refs are hot garbage, it barely grazed his helmet.

The Gretzky of music 👎

People will just say anything nowadays playing himself out of the league? Based on what, his production? If that’s the case we only have 6 guys on our entire team pencilled in for next year

Okay look, the prospect cupboard is full. There's almost too many of them. Trading some of them to start winning now and creating a winning culture where players will want to be here again is NOT going to sacrifice your future. The future never comes if you stay this course. Trust the old fans. We've seen these things before.

I think the Rangers would turn down the JJ trade Pono proposed.

So swift is there who cares. Broke Beatles records lol. You think music has changed since they disband in April 1970

Really, Swift/Kelce in NHL now? It's not nausiating enough in football I guess.

Taylor Swift has now infiltrated the NHL god help us all.

Mistake. Live dangerously

For contrast

I think the ref just took one in the danglies.

If JJ Peterka signs an offer sheet with NY, the AAV would make the compensation be a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. IF the Sabres were able to land another top forward like a Jason Robertson, or even a Jordan Kyrou (who is rumored to be available), I would gladly let JJ walk for that compensation.

To be fair, this is the first time they’ve been able to buy one.

Need significant improvements in both areas for the other changes to have a legit shot at being enough to get them where they need to be.

Has any Penn State player actually been ranked this high?

So, you're saying he'd fit right in? 😉
