I blame autocorrect. 😛

Oh I'm way old enough to know Gilbert Perrault. But we called him "Gil Perrault."

Based on the thread title, I thought Gretzky was taking about Dennis Gilbert. 🤷‍♂️

If you can't get value in a hockey trade for Byram, what are you getting for picks? Sounds to me if you're converting Byram to picks and then a trade, you are losing value and will end up with less.

I always thought arbitrators tend to favor the players.

I agree they're doing things right. But let them make the playoffs first.

I was basing the $9MM figure from a 32 Thoughts pod where they were guessing Byram's next deal. They felt that's his worth.

What part of signing Byram is funny?

Byram. Doesn't he want Dahlin's role?

Utah won the off-season.

Hindered him by a couple days, most of which are holidays. And he was proactive by moving on, leaving the Blues holding their member.

Again, what is with this self-imposed deadline on moves? If it happened last week instead of this week, what changes?

Byram could get $9MM/2 years. That leaves what? $3MM? Go read your take again. Could still happen.

Like trading draft picks?

Carry on.

It could be Adams got tired of waiting for someone to make a serious offer. This Byram saga may have hindered getting one of the remaining free agent forwards signed. Good for the Sabres. They wouldn't have done this if Byram wasn't open to staying.

I take it the answer to my question is no.

Why act in haste?

No trigger here. UPL's decline, in my opinion, way caused by him trying too hard stop scoring chances off turnovers. He went back to overplaying the puck and getting himself out of position. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers! Which makes me happy that the Sabres made moves to address this issue with d-men who are strong with the puck.

So he didn't like the losing culture to which he contributed to.

Two counts as a couple. JJ interview: https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-hockey-club/2025/07/05/why-nhl-star-jj-peterka-sees/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot

Everyone has a kink.

Don't worry about how I feel, okay?

They sell pretty much everything, some of it with the original game-played funk. 🦨 Sticks, gloves, shin guards helmets, goalie gear. Last time I went I got (former goalie) Chad Johnson's practice uni. I wrote it for years at beer league.

I know that the rule here is everything the Sabres do is garbage and they should be hated for even breathing.
