Taro T

Did not realize when the original trade was made.

Danke. Didn't realize that there was retention on that earlier trade. Nor the date of the original trade.

What happens July 9? (Or was that just a typo and you meant July 1?)

Not really. Even in the 70's teams occassionally played 4F's on the PP. (Nothing like today where there are maybe 3 teams with a base 2D top PP unit.) Nobody is claiming Pominville was, nor that Cozens or Mittelstadt is, a D-man.

Jocelyn was the 1st guess he had (French Canadian D-man with a name that sounds like a chick's). Pretty sure Robert never played D.

Don't focus on the name sounding like a girl's name.

Probably Amerks 4th D-man last year (behind Pilut, Prow, and Cecconi). Probably Amerks 4th D-man this year (behind Prow, Johnson, & Cecconi). Maybe lower if Clague, Bryson, &/or Stillman find themselves outside the top 8 (top 7 if they decide to run the 3 headed goalie monster; or force a spot open for Rousek/Savoie).

But the 2nd guess was close.

The boldedis a great thought in theory, but not sure that it'd work in actual practice. Because pretty sure somebody pays the league/ teams a pretty penny to hold at least some, if not all, of these theme nights. Having the players pull a Johnny Upton on the runway will not likely go over well with the sponsors. ;)

So, he must have it in his contract that he has to be associated with the team winning the lottery. Always thought it was simply if you have him the majority of the year, you win the lottery. But apparently it's worse than that. If he WASN'T part of your team before you won the lottery you are REQUIRED to obtain him before using that 1st overall pick, price be damned.

That was this kid's guess. Just barely missed w/ Gare (78 games). Mildly surprised the the answer to who was 3rd. Hadn't realized he was an iron man that year.

Where are you getting 12 seasons of Simshev from. Pretty sure you can count on 2 hands all the Sabres that have played for them that long.

Why is Qatar playing in the Concacaf Gold Cup? Was there a major reshuffling of the globe that wasn't announced and now Venezuela is located next to Saudi Arabia?

Well, when you stop counting because you ran out of fingers, you probably agree that 2.49 rounds up to 3. And if that's the case, don't want to send somebody there to be a math major.

Wearing a regular sweater instead of a special one likely is a compromise that works, but not sure that won't still generate a firestorm itself. And personally, really don't like the idea of having players intentionally skip warmups. They warm up to loosen up and to be ready to play to keep themselves injury free and focused on the game at hand.

"Untouchable" is relative. Do expect there is very little possibility either get sent packing. But if the BJ's were to offer Jiricek straight up for 1 of them, would likely pull that trigger. He's going to be a 2/3 soon and that would give the Sabres D a 1, a 1/2, a 2/3, and a 3/4 playing with that 1. With a bunch of possibilities in house already to finish rounding out that D. (Would still want a Graves or other 4 today to get added this year, but that D would be a bee-yotch to play against in 2-3 years (if not sooner).)

Art - the bestest way to launder money and bribe people ever invented. Ooh, that painting of that sunset is just perfect, would you please take $10MM for it?

@Marvin just wanted to make sure you saw the correction. The 1st rebroadcast of rounds 2-7 is on at 6:30PM. The live broadcast is at 11AM. Sorry for the confusion.

Rounds 2-7 11AM-3PM - NHLN on Thursday

ESPN - 7PM-10PM

Then it's false advertising on a massive scale. Still wouldn't want someone studying math there as the administration must be unethical in that case.

Unless they're using Base 14 (or Base 16 in a couple of sports) they ain't got TEN teams. And pretty sure the poly sci departments would have their heads explode at even the thought of it being Base 14, so no, if you can't count beyond 10, you ain't got no maths no way no how.

They could, but why would they? They're loaded with skilled F's and if they only use 1 D at a time on the PP they knock 2 minutes off the 120 minutes you expect out of the D-men.

No idea how many they actually have now, but would NOT let one of my kids be a math major at any of those schools. They don't count too good. 😉

You're 3 days shy of the draft and already going to get sick because Adams made no moves? Did GA swipe your login creds?😉
