If we had a team full of Dahlin's we'd be planning the parade now. We suck because he's the only one we got with both heart and talent.
You'll be hard pressed to find anyone that agrees with you about EJ. He was terrible through and through. Eye test. Old fashioned stats. Advanced stats. He was a drag on CO when they didn't resign him, he was a drag on us, now he's Philly's problem.
So beware Colorado castoffs?

When plans fail or are failing and there's seemingly no tack to the right or left, THAT is when depression sets in.
Brandon Beane's plan this season failed. After about 24-48 hours no fans were depressed.

I like saying Tooch when I’m high.
When you take a toke the tongue trips Tooch?

I'm certainly willing to get disappointed but it's not because of believing in something that isn't possible. I don't have a ton of faith for obvious reasons but the opportunity is there.
So you believe Pegula bought the Sabres for that reason, with no proof, and I need to check myself?
There's no smoking gun. But it makes sense. Ralph's demise was imminent and Terry, a real insider at PSU football, is a self proclaimed football guy. He said the latter to seemingly shoot down the idea he's a hockey guy. "There just happened to be a hockey team for sale first." (Bills intro presser)
It established his bona fides for sure and he could have been elected mayor of Buffalo in those early years.

He's a word salad, toss some phrases and ideas into a blender kind of guy. How do you think he rose from rink manager to general manager?

You sweat less when your SpO2 is lower.
Yes, I made it up
I just desperately want Granato to be cast in the worst possible light.

If you don't have competitive players, yeah. Is that really part of the development process?

Good thing that KA is speaking for himself personally. Presumably in his own words.

And the insane thing is he literally said he is not happy with the dreaded "compete" level of most of his players.
The irony is thick coming from a guy who has never tried to win.
Think the two aren't related?

Kevyn said he is comfortable with the leadership in place. He said the biggest way to improve the team is for current players to get better. He said he is open to trading picks and prospects but then cited the idea of that kind of trade involving a fourth line center
He is 100% running it back.

No reason to bury it in a non Sabres trade thread.
Link anyone?

Did I poop on your pu pu platter?
Not yet. I just don't take Ben's word at face value. Casey would have to clear it up. Maybe he did and that's why Ben tweeted what he did. Again... Where's the link?
Casey has surely had morning skates in Denver before.

3 minutes ago, nfreeman said:I'll repeat what I said during the stick salute boycott fiasco: TP hates being embarrassed, and Mittelstadt saying this is embarrassing.
That's 2 embarrassment strikes against KA in fairly short order. If the Sabres limp to the finish line and end up with, say, 78 pts -- that might be strike 3 for KA, or at least for DG.
What would your list include?
ROR driving into a Tim Horton's?
TM calling his wife something bad?
EKane's antics?

Another thing about the Sabres, when was the last time you watched them and said "they play fast". They have had 'fast' players, but they don't play that way. As I said even with Eichel...blazing fast straight line speed but whenever he crossed the blue line, majority of the time he would put the brakes on, slow down and set up the 'half court game'. I really don't know when you can say they played a 'fast game'. Probably have to go back of course, to 05-06.
Eichel not driving the net drove me directly nuts.

Passive aggressive? Hope so.

I wonder what EJ would say about who is going to fill that void.
Did anyone listen to Boomer?

Pretty cool... This just in... It's pronounced Saloon.

With all the left handers it feels like the team is rooting for me.

Not entirely sure how doing right by your long time vets is being a bad franchise
Does it work? Are you trying to appeal to guys who are thinking one step down the line?
Maybe EJ is a better illustration than Kyle. EJ's in a better hockey place now. Did it look like this season for him was about desperately trying to stay in Buffalo?

Marv Levy vs. who was that one dude they had before McDermott?

Watching the forwards last night without Mitts and Tage got me thinking about how bad it's going to look subbing guys like Rousek and Jost in for guys who can hold their own against NHLers like Kyle and Gus.
Might get ugly.
I doubt there were many contenders who wouldn't be interested in a 220-pound leader with 12 goals and experience on both special teams. It's the epitome of the kind of depth guy that gets traded at the deadline.
He was sent to the team he wanted to go to and feels gives him the best shot at winning a cup before he retires. Doesn't hurt that his short time there will be spent in nice weather, hanging out with his good buddy Sam.
This had nothing to do with shopping for the best return. Kyle called his shot and Adams got what he could. This was a reward.
Does the stance of the franchise not concern you? Young guys come and get playing time in the NHL, get developed and develop yourself, then get traded ... We'll make sure it's a good spot for ya. Vets come do your time in Hockey Hell as someone out it and when the time comes get traded. Good spot, we promise.
Nothing about that screams winning culture.

Are you doubting Terry?
