North Buffalo

was looking not well enough i guess... dollar short too

LeBrun tweeting that Bob Bougner interviewed for Sabres job yesterday. hmmm

Interesting article by Stan Fischler on who may become available from the the Rangers, Islanders and Devils. Any interest in any of these players in a trade? http://www.msgnetworks.com/2017/05/25/protect-or-not-rangers-isles-devils-the-upcoming-draft/

I thought it might be good, but not for offsides.

i might have, at least some i forget, need to take more pics

Yes there seems to be a fair amount of nepotism in the NHL. But talent prevail. Need to have good skating ability not insane (with one caveat you need to have quick balance) ability to pivot well like a cornerback in football, great if you are a D. More than anything though you need two very important skills... vision like that in soccer or as an NFL qurterback, be able to read what is and is going to happen and then you need insane hand eye coordination like that in baseball or as a point guard in basketball. The best ones have it in spades. Gretsky and Crosby have it, Datysuk had it and P Kane, Matthews and Eichel have it,.. Lately it Ivenoticed a lot of skilled D have it and PS Housley had it.

wow awesome

True, and when I was using it regularly I had it refurbished twice. Its a beast, I have close to 12 terabyte of pics with it from all weddings and sporting events. Here is a link to some of my event photos taken with it: https://fischerwilliamsphoto.smugmug.com/Sports/Sports-Portfolio-Alex-Fischer/

Agreed I like them too, Dominican from what I remember.

I have a Mark II 1Ds, the original full frame, But mostly time stops me. I still shoot, only x-rays and CT pics, just not pretty stuff. Mostly I look for broken or bleeding things... Seriously, though time... I need to start carrying it with me more often... Maybe for hockey. Also if your looking for action, think about a GoPro. You can use it underwater.

I need to start shooting again. If you have the cash purchase a Mark II 1DX, or the 5DS R 5fps and decent ISO Range, or the 5D Mark IV, 7 FPS. but teh Mark II 1DX can shoot up to 51000 ISO without a flash and 14 FPS if you have $6000 laying around. Canon

March??? Time Warp.... :w00t:

They need a better goalie and more clutch scoring...

. I just realized if you zoom in on the eye in the Buffalo it is the Chinese Yin and Yang sign... No wonder Sabres are cursed.

Orlov yes please but doubt Caps let him go..

I am fine not spending the 8th pick on him, but one could argue he finally got his chance with Washington and shined, especially in the playoffs. Get him for as cheap as possible but based on what I saw he is more a 3-4 guy and serviceable 2 in a pinch. He was one of DCs best puck moving defensemen during the playoffs. As we have seen some of these guys just need the right opportunity to show what they can do. I say get him.

You need to wait till next Thursday to make this post and another 40-80 posts, man up and grin and bear it. :) Its the off season, what else are we gonna talk about.... I am ok signing the guy and seeing what he has, it can't hurt... that being said if the evaluaters say no, than so be it.

Fair enough on 8, but Schmidt is emerging, just saying make a deal. Trade a young forward, whatever... make it happen is all im saying He and Ghule would be a good future 2nd pair imo.

Me neither, but they have a lot of forwards to protect so I guess, but seriously, if available, I'd give up the 8th pick for him in a heart beat.

Interesting Washington's Nate Schmidt might be available. Thought he was one of DC's best puck carrying defensemen in the playoffs and seemed to come into his own. Have no idea of his age or contract, but interesting thought for the Sabres.

Would need another forward who could grind and get back on D, thinking Carrier, but not sure.

Maybe but with a change in management and a new coach, maybe that is enough of a fresh start. Just saying possible a good fa signing. He has talent and healthy could be a good deal for both. 1 - 2 years

Sounds way too reasonable, but this is the NHL. Depends maybe done with a hand shake and a nod to try and make good for both teams. Its a small circle, so likely both scenarios may work since the circumstances may be different and beneficial to both.

Agreed

Or try A healthy Kulikov??
