Such an interesting take. All goalies are backups when they start. And 27 isn't exactly a career.

Only the good parts.

Or goalies are allergic to the Sabres?

Ever hear of stocking the pipeline? He's nowhere near playing for the Sabres. He's not replacing anyone.

The KGB (or FSB) and the mob are basically interchangable in Russia.

Murray to TO is official. Traded for a bag of rocks essentially with OTT retaining 25%.

So drafting Leinonen one round early is such a big deal, even though Seattle grabbed a goalie in the same round? Why aren't I hearing wails of "Reach!" with the Kraken? If anything it shows that Seattle was going to get a goalie so why not get first dibs? Why let the Kraken get the pick of the litter if Leinonen was the best out there?

What does that do to our cap hit?

I thought the string of goalie injuries is what tanked our season last year?

Obviously.

Just keep in mind abduction is Illegal.

My point was will it take a parade for you to come around?

Till the parade?

Savoie to attend Sabres dev camp but will not skate.

Okay, okay, you win. Hasek was a god when he was traded. geez.

No. Gretzky was already "The Great One" when he was traded to LA. What was Dom Hasek?

Making Kevyn Adams GM?

Scrub in the sense he was considered expendable by the Blackhawks. He wasn't "The Dominator" when he was traded to the Sabres.

I never compared Subban to Hasek. I said that the light comes on later for goalies sometimes.

I had envisioned a Blackhawks team desperate to shed cap and the Sabres sauntering in saying "we'll do you a favor and take Kane off your hands." That was before the draft day fire sale in Chicago. Now after the trades of Dach and DeBrincat, that becomes less likely. I was never in favor of trading significant assets for Kane this year. I didn't believe the Sabres had to.

Maybe, just maybe, it's not just Kevyn Adams NOT being interested in signing a decent goalie?

Why does that matter? We can afford him this year.

My point is the Blackhawks traded him for Stephan Beauregard. They couldn't have seen him as a future hall of famer.

The auto-response is offer them enough to come here anyway.

Because goalies, especially, go up and down. You can count on one hand the NHL goalies who are consistently elite. The vast majority get hot then fade and maybe get hot again before fading again. Remember Dominic Hasek was considered a scrub before his trade to Buffalo. Hopefully Buffalo's analytics and coaching staffs can spot a guy who has the tools and the potential to get hot. Is that Subban?
