No, you're right.

OSU for sure.

Yes

I also have Carter Hutton on my do not want list. He's bad, but no one here is familiar enough with him to know that I guess.

The amount of votes I am receiving is somewhat unsettling.

Lehner has no value. No one will qualify him. They'll sign him as a UFA and not a moment sooner.

Are you going to get their GM drunk first?

I was thinking this as well :lol: Okay, hear me out on this: trade for Lundqvist. He's gotta retire soon anyway, right? Who better to mentor Ullmark for a few years.

Good stuff from Botterill there.

I'll take your analysis on the advanced metrics. I just know we didn't score as much as we wanted to, and we got scored on way more. I figured the last one would happen. I didn't assume the first.

I dunno, I don't think we're valuing O'Reilly high enough. He's a proven veteran. If any team is trading for him, it's because they want a vet over a kid. I think it works.

Right. How quickly people forget.

San Jose's 1st?

That's a bad pep band.

I think if you look at this season side by side with last season, you see that points production stayed pretty much the same even as we work down through the roster, but that the difference maker was the collapse of our defensive play and goaltending. We assumed this was going to happen with Housley's system, and it did. But we also assumed that more goal scoring would accompany it. It didn't. That's a problem.

I'm not sure I want to take anyone on who isn't NHL ready. Keller is the only guy on that list with a full season under his belt and the production to get me excited about. We can't wait for prospects to develop.

That makes us a little young down the middle for my liking. I'm thinking more like Bo Horvat or something. A guy a few years younger than O'Reilly, maybe not as prolific at faceoffs,

As a college hockey fan I have always supported something of this sort. Doesn't Nashville kinda do this? I know their fans also do a ton of coordinated college-style cheers. I wish we did that here.

If that is the solution then all of the Buffalo transplants who want to come to games when they're here at the holidays suddenly become locked out. That seems...extremely unprofessional. I'll save you the effort. There's no way to do it.

Explain it, and then I'll tell you why it won't work.

How are you going to police that? Are we all getting fan club cards or something?

Do you think she's getting car sick?

I don't know why you even bother.

I think you're crazy if you think our forwards are mostly fine.
