And honestly, expect 2 of the other 3 to be easy. The 3rd could be tough. (Personally didn't realize he was in the HHoF. But that doesn't mean others didn't know that themselves. Expecting PA to be the hero here.) Because he wasn't a Buffalo media guy when he was inducted. There are still 3 others regardless.

Harry Neale was a TO broadcaster when he was inducted. He doesn't count. Got 3 to go.

Dude, the deal is supposed to be one of the people that answered the question gets a crack at the next one. Not, if somebody doesn't come up with all 37 answers on their own, you get to go again in perpetuity. There are 5 media members in the HHoF with Buffalo ties. Name them. 3 should be very easy. The other 2 could be easy or hard.

Pretty sure according to another thread that he's in arbitration. Should the Loafs walk away he'd be a serious consideration.

Again, technically true. But TB and Vegas the past 2 years seem to show that to be a fallacy.

Well sure, they want to move Nylander. But you need a patsy, err a partner to make that happen.

Yup. Probably, but wait an hour, it could ALL be gone. Vanilla Porter has followed up the 50 Shades of Red.

Unbeknownst to most, this kid is almost always at day 1 of training camp. (At least prior to Kruguer becoming the coach. He closed those practices to fans and haven't felt like driving in and finding out Granato felt the same way.) Used to be a blast. Got to talk to folks from John Muckler to Joe Corsi to Kevin Silvestri and many inbetween.) But will likely be there this year again. (Not Dev Camp, TC) Will be the guy with the Dahlin AS jersey, the Sabres hat, and the bad hair cut. Come say hi if you're there.

No F'n idea. You named the 2 this kid knows of. And yes the 3 non-Sabre winners (not just 2 of them, but all 3) are fairly easy to come up with.

You mind waking up 3 hours early to give yours truly a ride? Yeah, didn't think so. See you at the meet up. 😛 Have fun and give us the scouting report. Being live in the building you see stuff the rest of us don't.

They're really going to make the kids wake up that early? Definitely not driving in for it. 😉 Might have to finish the growler tonight. (Won (well 2nd place but 2 round wins to go with it) trivia tonight. Am on a roll.)

Yup, Clifford is the Big Red Dog. Connor Clifton the Big Dumb D IS very likely the 4D we ARE looking for. Guess we need to come up with a better nickname for him. 😉

Anybody know what time the 3v3 tourney is tomorrow? Have a bunch of stuff trying to get done around the house, but can stop for an hour or 2 to check it out.

Really would be truly shocked if either Cliffton or E. Johnson are traded this summer. You are NOT going to get agents telling their clients it's a good place to sign if they don't even make it to October on the roster.

Except that is the side he's been playing on since Juniors. Is it really the wrong side if he feels more comfortable there?

Plus ALL the Canadian ballets just over the border claim all the talent are French Canadian. Might make him feel at home. 😉 Far closer than St. Paul.

Just because Winnipeg didn't win the Memorial Cup is no reason to believe that Benson will be a no show come playoff time. That's a really unfair comparison IMHO.

You sure there's 3? Can think of 2 C's that did so, but not sure about a 3rd Sabre.

Carney was the guy couldn't wrap my mind around and remember his name. Knew he was one but kept thinking his name was Sarich or Butler or ... Would never have guessed O'Donnell.

Brad May too. (TW was on the right track, but had the wrong linemate of LaFontaine's.)

Good calls. Thought Sarich got there as well, but turns out he fell 31 games short. Durn Lockout.

Believe Calle Johansson got there as well. Nevermind - didn't see that TW had already named him. D'oh!

The Ramsa(e)y "Twins" obviously.

Looking like that ECHL team is going to be stacked on D. Because barring other moves there's already 10 guys pencilled in down in Ra-cha-cha (am putting Bryson and Clague in with the Amerks group). So, am expecting at least 2 of those guys to be dominating the ECHL. Plus if they bring any of those other AHL vets back, that's just that many more that need to slide down to play "AA ball."

Yeah, prior to his follow up post you referenced, had thought he was confusing Erik Johsnon with Ryan Johnson. Apparently not. And, yeah, could see Ryan getting a couple of games at some point if the Sabres D are getting hit by injuries. But can't see him higher than 8 on the depth chart (and since Stillman has to clear waivers and he doesn't he'd still effectively be 9) and right now would have him 10 (behind Clague, can't put him at 11 behind Bryson too, just can't get there).
