Suddenly feeling good about my late round John Brown pick in fantasy ?

I believe it.

Everything is the worst.

I hope Shaw Boomhower is the real deal

Oh no, I hate this. Football is the worst.

I hate being right.

He's totally going to the Pats for nothing. Amazing.

Interesting.

Re:

I think it lends credence to the "Risto is burned out" theory.

I would think Bogo himself would dispute that if it wasn't true, no? The team doctors can't just fabricate a lengthy rehab stint.

How's that work if Bogo doesn't have a reason to be on LTIR?

Absolutely. Mantha is under contract this year and isn't going to command nearly what Laine will. We have to pay Dahlin in a few years. We probably need to pay Sam and Casey if they stick around. And if some of these other players work out we'll need to pay them too. I just don't see how Laine fits here contract wise. I don't want Kyle Okposo Redux.

Thinking about that more, how do the Sabres even afford Laine?

I think Laine's contract status suppresses his trade value. It would be one thing if he was signed and we knew what he was going to cost. Winnipeg isn't going to get as much as they'd like to for him given that he's not even under contract to play this season yet. So I think "unrealistic" trade proposals for Laine get a little leeway because of the uncertainty involved in this scenario. Any Laine trade discussion really needs to include his expected contract. Who here wants Laine at 8 x $10mil right now?

This game sucks ass

I just want everyone to know that I start a week long vacation at 5:00 tomorrow, so be ready for trades.

Heroic.

He's totally getting traded to the Pats and winning a super bowl and we're never going to hear the end of the Patriot Way.

It's incredibly sad. Like, if I were a player and someone let me comment in that article, I'd be embarrassed.

I like IB but that rumor seems pretty... mundane lol

He didn't get fired, they're just moving him to the number 2 squad.

And you have to assume that not all of them want to hold out like Marner.

They're going to end up doing something crazy like trading him to the Pats.
