If that valuation is right, the franchise is worth more then double what they paid for it. All the Forbes numbers are guesses.

Money

I think Borgen and Asplund are. The other two, you never know, sometimes lightning strikes.

You have to remember as well, while these guys are assets, they are also human beings. It’s nice to have depth in Rochester but if you don’t give these guys a chance to make the big club, they eventually want out, just like Pilut. Make no mistake, his departure had as much to do with money as opportunity.

It’s not just the start date, it’s the amount of flexibility the league might be willing to give the clubs with money in order to help clubs that would be better off not playing? There has been talk of eliminating the salary cap and floor for this season, allowing teams to sign up to ten guys for a taxi squad and only counting salaries of top 23..... A team like Arizona, they are going to dump salary, but right now they are waiting because why give away assets to get rid of contracts if say Toronto is allowed to add pieces without salary constraints? Obviously the return for Arizona becomes much greater.

Or they could just trade one(or two) of those three in a separate deal(s) to clear space and acquire the goalie from a team looking to dump salary. Teams are waiting for a definitive answer on what shape the season will take. There will be wholesale player movement once it’s decided.

Between Cozens development, Hall’s arrival and a likely Skinner rebound, a Dahlin third year jump and ___________ in goal, I don’t see how this team can’t contend in a shortened season.

You’ve grown very cynical in your old age.😜

Leipold is starting to get mentioned as a rising college coach. UB has become a good stepping stone for basketball coaches and AD’s and now may be becoming a football coach stepping stone.

They were all told before the season that games would be played if they had enough guys to play. Denver does. Baltimore doesn't.

Yep, it took Marks two carries from the 18 to score. Ross Tucker on the broadcast was hysterical. He was so disappointed. He wanted to be by able to say he called the game.

Leipold said he didn’t know he could have had both records if he left him in. Someone needs to tell a coach that.

One mock draft I saw had him falling into the 20’s so it wouldn’t be much.

Yes, but the insinuation has been made that he is more of a "football guy" so logic would seem to suggest that if he were going to meddle, it would be in football and not hockey.

Ty Dunne started his own venture and wrote an interesting piece on how much TPEGS wanted Mahommes and how he didn’t want to interfere with McDermott with the decision. I know PA’s head may explode but it’s a good read.

I remember that most liked him but I vaguely remember some Zegras talk as well.

I swear I thought this was going to be a story about how Anchises Bar or some other place was naming a “chicken” wing after her. Never dawned on me they were renaming a whole tv series after her😜

Technically, he was already 20 when trophy was awarded, but it was his second season,

I’m a big Springsteen fan, although I prefer most of the stuff up to “Nebraska” and a lot of the recent stuff. “Born in the USA” is probably my least favorite but I voted for Phil Collins. What he did to the Genesis legacy was criminal in my opinion.

I’m not sure you are allowed to use that picture. He was my original screen name and I think I copywrited that pic.😜

Nah, off the top of my head: Dawson Knox penalty on a free play, at least one if not two plays on the Hail Murray drive where Bills could have sacked him, pass interference on Worley, holding penalty on Winters when Brown makes great catch to convert 3rd and 24, dropped screen pass by Singletary that might have gone for a TD

It didn’t help but it wouldn’t be in my top ten plays that cost them.

31 is definitely the target when you play four of the best offenses in the league and arguably the top four QB’s although I hate to include Tannehil(sic) in that conversation. The next six games, two rookies, a second year guy, Cam, Nick Mullins and Big Ben. Again, I think they are in good shape and I predict the storyline will be how the defense came together when a lot of it will be who they played.

I was wondering the same thing. It was almost as if they thought the clock would run. The announcers mentioned the chance of block but I thought only way defense could score is if offense threw an interception and it was returned all the way. of course the bettors are freaking because it was -2.5

They played basically the same game against Arizona and only some strange plays by Arizona gave Miami the win. Their defense looked good against the Rams, not so good against Arizona, Seattle or Buffalo. We will see at the end but I’m still confident Buffalo will have clinched before week 17.
