Why are our local guys such dorks?

I wonder what the jackets are gonna do with Bobs. He's got one year left on his current contract. Do they move on and let Korpisalo take over?

Someone noticed on twitter that the Sabres have updated their logo/branding from what they were using just a few days ago. Looks like all the noisy piping is gone...

You watch: Vegas is gonna land Karlsson and Ryan, and then Ryan is going to magically be good again and Ottawa fans will be apoplectic.

You were supposed to go to Amherst Pizza and Ale house to pick it up. I got mine. I haven't read the Star since midway through the Sabres season. The Sabres being bad really limited my desire to consume media. I also wish they would publish more. The work was good, but too infrequent.

Very cool dude!

For the record, I have no problem with Domi. It's just a weird trade for a team like Montreal that needs centers more than a guy like Domi.

I just have a hard time believing Botterill would trade away a guy he just traded for. And who we took on Pommers contract to get. Just seems like bad cap management.

Sounds like bs to me lol

Why on earth would we trade Scandella

Yup.

That seems... Extremely dumb.

I'm really surprised at the continued proffering of "very good chance". These guys must know something we don't.

Welcome back NS :)

They're literally in court over it. It's been an ongoing problem for what appears to have been months, if not years, according to pretty much every hockey spouse in the NHL and the NHL sources who have confirmed that Ottawa and the league have known about the situation. You don't get to just not "believe" it.

Fielding a competitive roster?

Gotta have someone actually playing defense. Bogo had a definite roster spot next year just for depth reasons. Adding Dahlin makes that roster spot more contentious. Unless we trade another d man away.

I wonder if having Dahlin here on an elc makes buying out Bogo an option? I still don't think it happens. But maybe it's just a bit more likely now.

I guess? I don't think it changes my theory about the mechanics of the trade at all.

Basically yes, though I think the appeal for the player is that he wouldn't be a FA until August, not July 1st. He probably wanted to be signed before then just out of personal preference. My thought is that perhaps this is a guy Botterill was targeting as a free agent but found out he was getting a lot of interest and decided to see if trading for his rights was something Arizona and the player were both interested in. Sounds like a deal got made that worked for all parties involved. Hickey gets to sign early, AZ gets something for a FA they weren't going to sign, and Botterill gets a guy he was targeting.

I typically stan for IB but I don't think there's any chance we're looking at patches. Doesn't seem like a Botterill move.

Just watched Kiksuya. Definitely the best episode of season 2. It's one of those episodes that reveals a bunch of things that you'll want to go back and look for clues in season 1.

*pours one out*

Amen to that.
