I disagree. I do not want my tax dollars going to pay for Healthcare for illegal immigrants. I support ICE and what they're doing. I don't believe trump will come close to hitting the deportation numbers of the Obama administration. I don't remember people protesting ICE or deportations under Obama, I guess they didn't have the proper motivation. Or maybe it was a lack of funding.

In fact, just use the ICE budget. Funny how money gets found with the right motivation.

I have never whined about paying taxes. I like that in the past we have legislated goodness. This administration legislates badness and racism.

The A should be taken away, but I doubt that it will now that we are down to 3 A's instead of the silly 4 A experiment.

Ftr, I'm not advocating trading Power for a 1st, prospect, and a guy... I'm not even advocating for trading him. I'm just saying he's not going to play more aggressive hockey imo so if this teams identity is physical and hard to play against, that's not him. If you're good with that, you'll be good with Power. If not, you'll want to move on. Buffalo has 2 advantages right now, they have another good lhd in Byram and headlined by Mrtka they have 6 other defensive prospects in various stages of development. So not advocating, more just thinking out loud.

For his own good I want Mrtka sent down, even if he is "better" than what we have due to injuries, we don't need him tainted by this staff right now. Another year in Juniors is not going to hurt him. We wont be 19 until June and I think its best to save the 8 -9 games for next season. Play R Johnson and Novikov instead. R Johnson certainly looks ready to be given a legitimate shot. While we can admire Bryson for hanging around in the NHL for 5 season and 254 games, Byson playing more games than Darryl Shannon (255), Rhett Warrener (266), Pat LaFontaine (268), and Rick Dudley (279), just shows the commitment to not winning in the Pegula era. This will be his 6th season on the team. All in the Adams era. Adams got rid of Eichel, Reinhart, Montour, McCabe, and Ullmark and proclaims that Bryson is a player he loves. Ok, that explains a lot.

Draft time needs to be corrected. Currently set for 645PM EDT.

This summer is the time to do it if you're doing it. Teams will have money and assets they might want to move. It's also another reason they should have fired Wilford, now you don't know if a new coach will get more.

You've never butchered someones name before and just laughed about it? This seems more like the torch and pitchfork people who don't like Paul Hamilton.

Is there any evidence that the Sabres are more injured than any other NHL team?

It boggles my mind how some people want to keep him forever with aspirations of him being elite. He might be. He’s also never going to be accepted by the fanbase as a whole because he plays no contact hockey. His value may never be higher. Move him out now for proven NHL talent that actually plays hockey the way it was intended. With any amount of physical contact at all.

How do you propose we pay for that?

He was an NHL rookie on one of the worst teams in the league. He was not in his 3rd nhl season on a 2nd pair with Rasmus Dahlin to lean on in the locker room and to also eat the toughest minutes. Owen Power is fine, he's probably an above average defender and certainly well above average offensively.

they're just working off vibes. and by "they" i principally mean terry. this team is a product of his vision.

IF the Sabres management made good decisions, the Sabres wouldn't be where they are. The truth is Adams and Pegula have no idea how to actually build a hockey team. There is no plan and never was. They had the goalie they needed in Ullmark but let him walk. Instead they crafted the "waiting for Levi/UPL" strategy and then never worked to set up the defense in front of any goaltender. To bolster the D and goaltending while we waited for a prospects to emerge, Adams added Subban, Dell, Anderson, Reimer, Comrie, Houser, and Tokarski in goal and Clifton, JDB, Gilbert, Clague, Erik Johnson, Lyubushkin, Stillman, Pysyk, Miller, Hagg, and Butcher on defense. Is it any wonder why the Sabres have had the worst defense and goaltending in the NHL for the last 5 years? All of this was preventable.

Another guy who people need to think about what he was at 22.

So, so gross. The worst, really.

Jackson Lacombe is a 6'2" defender for Anaheim and put up like 43pts last year. He's from the 2019 draft class I think. He's their #1 guy. Because Ruff will retire and give it up to Appert.

Just another reason that this season has a real house of cards feel

I'd like to move power because he doesn't fit the teams supposed identity. I'll say it. Now he can absolutely change my mind this season, but I've watched him in college and I've watched him in Buffalo, I've seen no change in his style or engagement defensively.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. It’s wings.
