What? You putting on a tucks (wink) for the prom? Sorry couldn't resist...

Wonder if JBot was referring to him when he said he was keeping some roster signing slots open in case of additional moves?

Sigh, gonna be a long month and a half... sigh I miss hockey. Especially consideeing the Bills situation.

. I tend to agree the "Brass" thinks they won these trades short term, dillusional imo. Longterm the argument could be made if the two players they received are serviceable fits to McBean's scheme especially with the Darby trade and the draft picks "may be" a win. McDemott's agonizing over Sammy trade tells me he is and was concerned but decided the risk is worth it. Losing Sammy is a big loss, no question even with the return. PS rebuild v tank is a semantics game over stink v middling... both tiresome after 17 years.

Do what pays the Bills and then do what you like on the side. The people who like your style and compared to the person doing the NHL paintings you are awesome, so keep it going. -
The curious case of Rasmus Ristolainen: ?
North Buffalo replied to hockeyhound's topic in The Aud Club
See I dont accept the premise he is a no 2, I think he is a number 1, still inexperienced, playing too many minutes in a crap system that dictated he give up the blue line and that is the reason for the somewhat disconnect between the numbers and eye test. -
The curious case of Rasmus Ristolainen: ?
North Buffalo replied to hockeyhound's topic in The Aud Club
Agree it is both him getting used to all those minutes as a relatively young guy. Played in a horrible system and had a few hiccups. I think he plays a few less minutes, gets to use his offensive skills more and has more support. Expect a big step forward. IMO they guy is a talented beast who has only touched the surface of what he can be. -
Didn't realize he was in that bad shape... RIP.,,

Really, throws a nice ball, but at this point telegraphed his passes and half of his completions would have been picked off by a competent defense. Has a long way to go, but yes fairly accurate.

Except that McBean are collecting draft picks not trading them away like TM did. Not saying they aren't tanking or at least retooling the way they want... should just say tooling... time will tell if those two are tools are actually creating something... again show me. Jury is out... I'll give them that they taking a big risk by these trades, but if it makes the locker room better and team plays more cohesively then long term the team will be better. My guess is that Shady may be gone too, with that offensive line and Jonathan Williams showing he can run, why wouldn't Leshon want to rack up some more numbers behind this line. If the Bills can get a King's ransom for him, I'll bet the Bills do make a deal... say 2 1sts and a player.... Not sure anyone gives the Bills that though.

We've, I've been lucky so far... knees okay... get some hip pain but seems to be more a stretching thing that set in due some idiotic yoga I tried... It comes and goes. Hockey doesn't seem to bother it either way. Just sleeping on my right side. Can't complain. We had a guy skating into his late 60s, but wasn't feeling well after a game and was diagnosed with an aortic dissection. One more hit and he was done... he was lucky... but was even more disappointed he couldn't play hockey anymore. At least you can play with your kids occasionally.

I have a wife, a teenager and a special needs child who are often on at the same time... gotta have the bandwidth. Especially if my son is on the XBox.

Sorry I picked JVR, not sure what pic but you have him not ranked. -
That and based on what they saw last nite him cutting well, the deal went thru. Bills got a DB and 2nd for Watkins and a WR and a 3rd for Darby. Loading up on pics in 2018.

Benn, Scheifele, Oshie Hoffman, JVR, Sheary Zetterberg, Little Shattenkirk, Gardener, Sharp, Scandella -
I tend to agree with you Jeff, but like you said there is probably too much talent to pull it off all the way right now. Talking to a couple of Bills fans this past week in the know, they the Bills will still finish behind the Phins in the devision. I got depressed but have to admit they are probably right. The only problem is by tanking could the Bills find a franchise QB as Flagg said evaluating college QBs is much tougher. Again, its show me time.

Get to it! -
Id consider giving up Reinhart and Nylander but not Middlestat... Casey has too much heart, still not sure I'd do it and forget about first rounder.

Scandella, because if with Risto or McCabe he takes it to another level.
