To continue the "When to take a QB" conversation, lets try this. Using the drafts from 2005 to 2015, I'll list every QB taken. 3 ranks. **-hit, *-tweener/undecided, and nothing. Completely subjective, so tell me if I'm way off on someone. I'm setting Dalton as the bottom of the "hit" line.
This was great, thanks

I don't miss him at all. He's an anachronism. His largeness and big hitting style has no place in this skaters' league.
Plus, didn't he miss a meeting when he was, what, like eighteen years old?
Vacation flight got cancelled.

From the Podcast:The Sabres Rebuild is bigger than Botterill could have imagined. There is dysfunction at every level of the organization.
This word seems to come up a lot lately regarding Buffalo teams.

I agree and to be honest, I didn't even click on the link. Whoever did the rankings probably let the number of Stanley Cups hold more impact in the rankings though.
Recency and Nationality may have some to do with it.

American Hockey League rules state players must be on the roster at 3 p.m. today in order to be eligible to be sent down from the NHL for the rest of the year. Buffalo sent Nelson and Baptiste to the Amerks. They are likely just paper transactions, meaning the duo should be around for practice Tuesday.

Mittelstadt could go because he's not coming from the NHL.

O'Regan not likely playing tonight.

I could care less

So is it better for the Bills in particular, or any team in particular, to avoid a comp-pick-triggering signing?
Or is it better to avoid those because it means you don't diminish the slot at which your team is picking in later rounds? E.g., picking 81st instead of 82nd.
It's something to consider when signing a player. However I believe the value of comp picks has become overstated.
I assume this is a "generate roster competition" move for that rb2 slot?
The guaranteed money makes me think he's definitely on the roster for at least this year.
The team announced that they have agreed to terms with Chris Ivory on a two-year contract. The pact is worth $5.5 million in base salary, with $3.25 million guaranteed in the first year, and can be worth up to $6 million max, sources informed of the deal told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

It was very unlike him. Both he and Harrington completely crossed the line on Monday and Tuesday.
Wawrow and Graham went after Matthew Coller pretty good a couple years ago - and brought it back up recently. Granted Collar worked for an actual media outlet but bordered on 5th grade bullying.

Posted by Brawndo in the trade thread, but relevant to this discussion:
Corey Pronman Thoughts on O’Regan
Daniel O'Regan, C, Buffalo (from San Jose): The initial reaction to a 24-year-old small forward who has yet to establish himself as an NHL regular will likely be pessimism, but I still have time for O'Regan. He’s a very gifted playmaker who processes the game at a high-level and has good skill with the puck. He's an agile skater but doesn't have a great top gear, which isn't ideal at his size. He works but he'll never be confused for a grinder or a great defensive forward. It's a gamble on a player with talent who hasn't forced his way into a scoring minutes role yet but was dominant in the AHL last season as a rookie. He could easily flame out on the Sabres, but O'Regan also has the skills to be a middle-six forward if he clicks. -
Why would they ignore tipped balls? Seems relevant unless they say that it has too much luck involved.
I’m guessing these are balls tipped at the line, not by a DB

Mike Reilly traded

The Blues may have something big cooking per Michael Russo
Brad May mentioned something about Tavares/Tarasenko earlier on WGR, I think he was just spitballing though.
-
and he’s 19 years oldDidn't say you had to be happy about his play, but he is coming of a severe injury and his coach is saying he is still getting back into shape.
-
Brassard to the Pens for a 1st (2018), Ian Cole (Salary dump) and G Filip Gustavsson (19 yr old - a former 2nd rd pick in 2016)
Brassard has 18g and 20a
Looks like what we should expect for Kane.
Brassard is signed for another year
-
Why? Because Buffalo? With our desperate need for scoring and LWs, he has a legit shot to make the team and play on Jack’s wing. He’s going to get a one year ELC no matter where he goes. Who else can offer him such an opportunity? I have him and Smith penciled in as two or our top 3 LWs to start next season.
That is frightening

So someone in Philly stole and Ostrich from the zoo. The Ostrich then escaped and was electrocuted by a downed power line. Haven't been able to actually confirm this story but yea...
I think that's a make em up
-
maybe a fake? I'm not seeing anything about this
-
I think they had the press conference scheduled like two weeks ago, and this development only came up in the last few days. Must have been easier to keep the original press conference and just say nothing than cancel the whole thing.
But how, how could they not have known the cap ramifications.
I'm willing to acknowledge that is potentially what happened, but come on.
-
Woof. If that is anywhere near what the real story is that's a pretty bad P.R. look from our Buffalo Bills. I thought at first it was just a logistics holdup for cap considerations, but it may be more OSP-like than I originally thought.
I'm beginning to think that this is more the case. Schopp and Bulldog had a guest that stated if Wood waits until after June 1 to retire the Bills save around $2M on the 2018 cap.
So Wood keeps the bonus but does one last solid for the Bills and waits until June 1 to officially retire. Now why they had the event yesterday instead of waiting until June I'm not sure, but I'm going to withhold judgement until more comes out.
-
It's on hold over questions whether the Bills can ask him to return a portion of the contract bonus he received in August.
-
It's true. They had a string of ###### teams to stock pile top picks around Crosby though. Fluery was a #1 overall, Malkin was a #2 overall, and I can't remember but I think they had at least one more really high pick besides Crosby.
Staal, and Whitney before Fluery
-
nah, it will come down to the deadline and someone will blink. My guess is they'll get a low 1st and an overaged prospect, along with the conditional pick.
If teams are only offering 2nd round picks right now, they're not serious about getting him right now.
-
Well, we may have been operating under the wrong cap assumptions regarding TT -- per ESPN:
Tyrod's roster bonus kicks in 3/16/2018, that's the $6M difference between Rodak's and TrueBlue's numbers.
That bonus also makes trading him likely impossible.
