North Buffalo

And if Bogo is on LTIR there is your cap space to sign the arbiters. My guess is MoJo plays center this year. Vesey moves to Jacks wing but Ollie plays it on power-play and Mitts is 3rd center this year. I am thinking 2nd line of Sam, Mojo and and Ollie. The wings could be moving parts though to see who meshes the best. Jack and Skins are tied together but the rest?? I like a fourth line of KO, Girgs and Larsson. Agreed there are a few too many bodies. Boat is sent down unless there is an injury and if he leaves I like Smith's and Asplund's games enough for call ups. My question is if TT with added weight and strength or a motivated (big if) Nyls pushes someone like Sheary or Erod out. Sheary would be my first to send down. On D I still think Borgen pushes for a spot. Dahlin-Montour, Risto-McCabe, Miller-Borgen I like and after that I dont care who gets sent down or traded... that looks solid. If Risto and hopefully Scandella are moved Id be more inclined to take picks unless a 2C highly doubtful becomes available. Hunwick will either be sent down and I am not sure about Nelson.. he is a good utility D to have.

Easy there big guy... down boy mind out of gutter...

At first I thought you might be a little sarcastic with the post... but the more I think that if you are serious, it could help some of us lay people. Most of Flagg's stat stuff I understand and to an extent Pi's, just dont know how Pi gets to where he does and what regression curves he is using... and mind you I am way out of practice with stuff too.

TT has moments, and his effort in the A, his skating ability which I think he just hasnt put it all together and based on his weight gain I look forward to seeing him this year.

I also think TT gets there ad an outside chance that Nylander does though guessing hes 30-70. TT has shown me the work effort

Oh stop.

I missed the morning working on my rental property in Mass... nice surprise upon getting back on the road. I think many will be surprised by Johanssen especially when healthy. He works hard, skates well, great passer... I am excited!

If you have to ask... you havent followed them. Murray trading away picks for Lehner... Sam and whole draft had no centers... Jack ok, Nolander debacle.. Mitts with a coke and a smile, OReilly sulk and trade... Cozens thumb... sigh guess its time to start 2020 draft thread.

?? Does that work?

https://buffaloah.com/h/twain/twain.html Found in steamer trunk in home of former Buffalonian in LA, interesting that is where it was reported. But I know it was discovered in Buffalo and I misremembered he lived in Twains house in Buffalo on Delaware (ST) Ave. Was moving to Cali where he must have reported it found. Love the inaccuracy though.

Yeh but does another team want to do that until close to trade deadline.

There is a wife of a guy I know who collects surplus med supplies. Ill ask and send her you link. PM with any additional contact info I can share.

I can ask my Dad... he taught Mark Twain's writings at UB for 30+ years. One of his good friends found the second half of Tom Sawyer in his attic in a chest in a house off Delaware Ave downtown upon selling the place and moving out. He called my Dad in to see if it was real. I remember going with him to see it... didn't really realize the significance, just thought I was cheap labor to help in the move. Then later read articles on it... Yes Twain used to live down in those parts.

I think the Sabres might be hard pressed to actually acquire a 2/3 C and may have to sit tight for part of the year. I am betting they will be better than last year with the accession full time of Oloffson and the D playing better but unless Thompson, Nylander and Asplund all take the next step the Sabres won't be that much better. Maybe by trade deadline teams desperate for D will start inquiring and be willing to trade for one... but till then we will all be sitting on our hands. It could happen that something shakes out later this summer, but I am betting not til then at the earliest.

Na this one is better or should this one be the opening song to the Sabres 50th?

more than one but not that many

Is odd though if thumb pinned probably quicker depending on pain or ache tolerance.

Now you are getting personal... im ok with that... but really you could have chosen other imagery..

Oof, as long winded and civil as this discussion was/is it sounds like attempts to understand Botts motivations for the moves he has or hasnt made by to an extent getting into his head.... and the tough part, getting a better understanding of what actual opportunities are out there and if he missed on any reasonable ones. Makes my head spin... but I think we all are trying figure out at the GM level what can be made to happen and at what cost?

Mitts in his prime along with Cozens plus 3 more top 10 picks... Skinner would be a 2W or 3W so who cares.

No Cozens is literally... pinning means using either a screw or k-wire. BTW heals pretty fast... give a month or 2 at most if they remove it post.

So probably a fx and gonna pin it...

I just dont know Gusev and Johansson on his game is special minus injuries and that is a concern. Can anyone provide more info on Gusev?

Was thinking same thing this morning but it made me ?

Basically...
