I still want Voronkov, maybe a deal around Voronkov and Severson? Perhaps he would waive to come play for Lindy again.

I'm not even sure I've seen an ATM that holds the card for a long time now. All of the bank of americas here have use the tap now. I'm pretty sure that if you do insert the card, it spits it back out right away. And there's no possible way inkman can twist that last sentence into some sort of innuendo.

Absolutely! Good catch and correction is greatly appreciated. The Senator wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sheevyn lykes yt.

I always get the CBus Russians confused, but as a group I like. Pretty sure he’s #3 of the 3, but what the hell, git er done Jarmo! 😁

Umm, wouldn't that be 98 - 0 if you're making a tribute to Senator?

Finally someone gets it

These are Jason Karmanos selections for the Amerks. (He's the GM of that team in addition to being the AGM for the Sabres.)

It’s because of the Precysyn incysyn Leschyshyn desyshyn

In the words of the late, great Senator over at TBD, 82-0 baby!

I come here more than TBD now. 10 years ago that would never be the case.

Another guy I seen in Vegas/Henderson a lot and this player is nothing more than a minor leaguer. Who is scouting these players? Mason Gertsen and now Jake Leschyshyn will never be more than mediocre minor league players. Even if I’m building my minor league squad I would have passed on both of them!

Happiness is a choice. Not enough people choose it.

Fair statements, and my thoughts were probably oversimplified. There's been a strike and 3 lockouts since then so players have a lot more rights than they might have in the past.

Give the guy a break. He mostly comes here to get his rocks off by unnecessarily dropping two-dollar* words. *This is the phrase (denomination) I heard growing up. Indexed for inflation, we may need to call them twenty-dollar words.

Defensively stout Mattias Samuelsson?

Well, you realize that they take their slogan "all the bank you'll ever need" seriously. And, though you may WANT additional conveniences such as multiple transactions within a single ATM transaction you don't NEED that. And they don't give you one more thing than what you need. (That's the unspoken part of their motto. All the bank you'll ever need and not one thing more.) They are quite the utilitarian bank.

LaFontaine DID pick his destination. He was 100% on board with the trade or it would never have happened. Same goes for the Hawerchuck trade to Buffalo. His best buddy in the world, Scott Arniel (who was Hawerchuck's best man, and Dale was his), convinced him that Buffalo was a great place to play. And they were really excited to be back on the same team again, well, at least until they found out Arniel was going back to the 'Peg in the deal. But due to who he was and what he'd meant for the Jets franchise there was no way they were sending him to Buffalo if he wasn't on board with the change.

M&T Bank…if you use the ATM, it will not allow you to make two or more transactions without spitting your card out and start over after each one. Have called numerous time asking for this to be changed…falling on deaf ears.

Presuming the CHL agrees to that change to their agreement with the NHL.

The athletics model disagrees with us. Speaking strictly from the players out/players in perspective it says Buffalo improved more than all but 6 teams 7. Buffalo Sabres Net Rating added: +9 In: Josh Doan, Justin Danforth, Michael Kesselring, Conor Timmins, Alex Lyon Out: JJ Peterka, Sam Lafferty, Connor Clifton, Jacob Bernard-Docker There are a lot of folks who haven’t been thrilled with Buffalo’s offseason and that’s understandable. For the third straight year, it feels like it’s been time to push the chips in, spend some money and gun for a playoff spot. Instead, the Sabres made depth moves and shipped off a true top-six scorer without addressing the void afterward. ADVERTISEMENT It feels like a wasted opportunity, which probably makes Buffalo’s placement here seem out of touch with reality. Maybe it is — betting on the Sabres has been a terrible idea for over a decade. But maybe this is the year Buffalo does turn the corner, thanks to internal jumps buoyed by cleaned-up depth. Josh Doan is not as good as JJ Peterka. That’s a downgrade without question. But his underrated defensive game compared to Peterka’s issues without the puck does mean the gap might not be as large as their point totals suggest. Add more Justin Danforth and less Beck Malenstyn on the fourth line and it’s possible the Sabres can cover up the loss in the aggregate. There is arguably enough young, developing forward depth to sustain a Peterka-sized loss. The more important factor, though, is that the jump from Connor Clifton to Michael Kesselring is substantially larger than the drop from Peterka to Doan. Buffalo’s defense corps was a major weakness last season, one that Kesselring’s presence can help fix. He did well in a top-pair role when Utah ran into injuries last season, enough to believe he’s a true top-four defenseman. Pair him with Owen Power and Buffalo’s top four looks genuinely decent for the first time in a long time. The addition of Conor Timmins should help with things as well. He showed some promise in an elevated role with Pittsburgh, enough to believe he can form an actually good third pair with the defensively stout Mattias Samuelsson.Timmins isn’t much, but he’s probably a better option than what Buffalo was toiling with last year in the same role. Defensive depth is something this team has been missing for a while. If everything goes according to plan after this offseason, it’ll finally be a source of strength for Buffalo. And that could be what changes everything for this team. The Sabres have gone from one good pair led by Rasmus Dahlin to potentially three
