Stenbaro also said he's interested. That makes 8.

Really? I looked back thru the thread and on July 19th, you said there was you, me & SDS. Then Derrico said Briere48 and exWNYer wanted in. He also mentioned that Dennis the Menace was dropped from the original league. Later he said Swampd and Jeffismagic were interested. Later, Stenbaro said he was interested. That's potentially nine.

Am I in the new league?

Only time not available is Sun Aug 26th at 8:45 PM ET when I have another draft. Pretty much any other day and time good for me. Since I'm on the West Coast, not too early in the day though.

How many seasons in a row now has them going West in the 1st couple of weeks?

So, will you provide details of draft on this forum?

I’m interested.

And they started with a team salary of $0 Odds are that the main motivation on Sunday was to not have to pay the bonus due at the end of the day. That may not have been Jason's decision.

I hate this one month span between the Bills mini-camp and training camp.

Yeah, seems like Mrazek would be a better bet. With the competition for goalies, how likely would the Sabres be able to sign one if they don't go for a 3 year deal? A team having the worst record in 3 of the last 5 seasons will have a hard time getting any free agents to sign.

Am I missing something with Hutton? 17-7-3, led the NHL IN GAA at 2.09, .931 SV%, 3 SO. Yes, it was a career year for him at age 32 but those are outstanding stats.

I'm not so sure they make big moves. Two of the biggest recent contracts were Kane and O'Reilly. Kane was traded and O'Reilly may be soon. Anybody know where they're at with salary cap for next season? Is he related to Eddie Shore?

I don't know what they're thinking but they should always have competition. If a player isn't strong enough mentally to handle competition, he shouldn't be a starter. It pissed me off when the Bills with Chan Gailey signed Fitzpatrick at the time to be a backup to Trent Edwards because they didn't want Edwards looking over his shoulder. In the end, though, Fitz took the job and Edwards was released.

Roseanne found out the hard way. Career reboot for some of the cast ended by a dumb tweet.

I hate it when NBA refs call similar plays differently involving a star vs a young unproven player. I hate that baseball home plate umpires call strikes differently. It should be standardized. I remember when Sandy Alderson left the Oakland A's to join the commissioner's office and dictated that all of the umpires should follow the MLB rule book for the strike zone. In response, an umpire was quoted as saying: "Nobody's going to tell me how to call balls and strikes!" and he kept his job.

So, do 3 Rasmi beat a pair of Subbans?

Gilbert Perreault. He was exciting to watch with his puck handling and end-to-end rushes.

Still a classic RJ call!

As they turned over the card, I expected to see the Hurricanes logo so when I saw it was the Sabres, I jumped out of the chair with a loud yell. Surprised my wife didn't come over to see what was going on but I guess she's used to yells coming from the man cave.

The NHL has made these lottery odds even worse than the NBA. At least with the NBA the worst team has a 25% chance. I think, no matter what, the worst team should have a 50% chance. They work their butts off to have the worst record and they should be rewarded. My local NBC affiliate also didn't broadcast it. Do they do it like the NBA with the team cards and claim this was all done with some private security firm, who have had control?

Is the Peca on the Syracuse Crunch Michael Peca's son?

In last night's game, Kane was in a 2 on 1 with Donskoi, with Donskoi carrying the puck in and then passing to Kane at point blank range. Kane actually passed it back to him at the right side of the goal for Donskoi to score. I was shocked. Even the Sharks play-by-play guy immediately said Kane could've easily scored himself but he passed yo his teammate. Looks like being in a winning environment is wearing off on the guy.

This franchise is just jinxed. Even when Bowman was in charge they couldn't win a cup, even though he had won one everywhere else.

Two goals in leading the Sharks to victory

One of my favorite Sabres draft picks!
