so what is the answer?
Whatever it is, that guy doesn't have it.

Doesn’t that defeat the whole emergency thing though? That last second travel from where ever the farm club is, that’s a huge issue. The EBUG is someone who is always in house. They need someone there in case something happens very close to puck drop.
That's how I see it, and not every team has a farm club 60 minutes down the road.

I HATE the trade and it’s not because I can’t foresee a situation where the players we got actually serve the team better
I can't agree or disagree with this, but would you agree that Kesselring plays a POSITION more important than Peterka's?

the league gives out a free Helenius to every team every year.
And a free Savoie and a free Rosen, too.

Clearly don’t read my posts so I’ll reiterate my stance of the last 10-12 months:
I believe the sabres, as generally a last placed team all year, was in a position where to add talent wherever possible to tune of bPA. We aren’t close to reaching a “ceiling on goals” lol. A goal scored helps put D as much as one saved
improve team as much as possible. I’d trade for the better F before the weaker D. I felt we needed all the help we could get at F BEFORE dealing JJ, forwards are in a tough spot right now. I think we were like 23-24th on goals 2 years ago and these things tend to go in cycles: as I’ve said the sabres are a shell game: the issue never presents as one thing cause the issues mutate, stemming from overall inexperience and lack of depth
My man, there are a bunch of F prospects (again not all equal) in the system who are looking for opportunity with the big club. Surely one or two has a chance.
Can't say the same about D or G (other than Levi, and this board seems resigned to keep him in Rochester).

@Thorny The team needed a second pairing (or first, if Byram is traded) defenseman much more than it needs Rust. It also needs a goaltender much more than it needs Rust. If it's #9 and Helenius for a capable goaltender, I'm pulling the trigger. If it's for Rust, NO.
I had no problems with Peterka. I liked him. I'm on the fence about the trade. But what you're proposing is not equal to that trade.
I get that you think all prospects are superfluous. Fine. They still aren't fungible. Some are better than others.

Every prospect is by definition superfluous when you haven’t made the playoffs ever and those prospects have no chance of meaningfully affecting the ETA
I don't argue with that. But the fact that they are superfluous does not make them equal. Some prospects are more valuable than others, and Helenius is a heck of a lot more valuable than Rosen IMO.

I agree wholeheartedly, it’s probably happening unfortunately
I've wanted Adams fired since the day before he was hired. If this happens, arson is a possible option for me.
Just now, Thorny said:Do it, absolutely. A negligible swap of picks, a superfluous prospect, for a legitimate top 6 winger?
This one will get kudos from me should it come to pass
If the superfluous prospect is Rosen, sure. Not Konsta.

WGR guys talking about rumors of PIT trading #12 and Rust to us for #9. I could live with that and PIT needs to cut salary
That would be a very worthwhile use of #9.
Just now, Brawndo said:The Sabres are probably adding Helenius to that though
Then no.

Bingo!! Bridge him or sign longer term (who wouldn't want to play with Dahlin), heck, even give him some 2nd line PP minutes (it's not like our PP was stellar last year). As for you LWer sign Ehlers or ,,,,,,gasp Marchant
He can have all the 2PP minutes he wants as far as I'm concerned.

Wonder if the Dobson trade is affecting Byram talks?
Gotta be an overlap in interested teams.
Absolutely it is.

Exactly!! Byram with Dahlin works and I think Kesselring with Power could work. I know Byram wants PP time, but too bad, he's under team control. Keep Byram, sign ehlers = great offseason, or at least good offseason
2 minutes ago, CTJoe said:Maybe, but, Adams has done a disservice to Power with whom he's partnered him with. I don't like the fact Power is a giant with no physicality but he deserves to reserve judgment until he's played with a solid partner for a while.
Correct on both counts and I think, also, folks forget that Power is still 22.
-
I'd like to know what the pairings look like with Byram gone. Who does Dahlin play with? If it's Kesselring, then we're in the same spot as last year when it comes to Power. Dahlin is exceptional, yes, but you can't just put a tackle dummy next to him on the blue line. I could live with Samuelsson as Dahlin's partner; I think that worked once.

Establishment of ‘full-time’ Emergency Backup Goalie (EBUG) position within organizations so that amateur goalies signed out of beer league are not entering games in rare injury circumstances.
That's too bad. The EBUG has provided us with entertainment once in a while.

Phyllis George?!?!? Hated CBS's NFL pregame show back in the day. Jimmy was the only nearly redeeming feature of that. Brent, Irv, and Phyllis were all completley insufferable.
AFC all the way for this kid. MNF too. WAY better football and broadcasts.
Besides, never owned a VCR until the day before the Greatest Football Game Ever PlayedTM.
You know what I'm talking about.

It completely amazes my brain that the number one pick in the draft, Owen Power needs a right handed defenseman to be better. So freaking stupid, he should be making whomever plays with him better not the other way around. Complete lunacy.
Even Dahlin needed a boost at Power's age.

not unfair.
it occurs to me: i don't really know a thing about laura -- a child of terry's first marriage.
she's not a tennis pro and personal essayist (jessica). she hasn't come up with any harbourcenter restaurant concepts. (kelly). she didn't create the j1zz hat (matthew).
what's laura's story?
She sits in on personnel meetings.

"Right now..." and I hope you're right.

Maybe his father coached that out of him.

Chad D: expect a Byram trade at or around the draft
in The Aud Club

He certainly deserves more conversation. I'm not sure he'll crack the lineup, but he should be discussed more. Good call. And thanks for getting rid of the banana.
