    No team should have their biggest game of the year on the road 3 years straight.  I understand the scheduling rules as you laid them out, but at some point common sense has to prevail.

    This also happened with the Bills and Titans in recent years. Bills played in Nashville 2019-2022. 

     

    I don't think there's anything they can really do. It's two separate patterns that happened to fall that way due to a series of events.

    What an absolutely wild deal.

    Incredibly risky. As far as I know we haven’t seen anything like this in the NHL, could be precedent setting if it DOES work out. 

    Should have extended Dahlin when we had the chance  

    I saw John Klingberg's contract referenced a couple of times as a comparable, signed after his first season of 65 games. 7 yrs, $29.75M in 2015.

  7. Streaming Sabres

    The local broadcast games should be on ESPN+. Based on the below I think the only games that wouldn't be on ESPN+ will be the 4 that are on TNT.

     

    I don't think FUBO would be helpful in Florida because you wouldn't be local for the Buffalo broadcast. Though there could be workarounds with a VPN? I'm not tech saavy enough to know regarding that.

    Early retirements are causing worker shortages in many key areas.  Teaching is one area that was been effected.  Teaching is one of the few jobs that still offer traditional pensions so this can be tracked.  Many are leaving prior to reaching full retirement age.  Reason cited are burn out, Covid induced changes, and ageism.   I personally know 3 teachers that have retired early just this year.   Feelings of being not valued,  obsolete, or unwilling to conform to change are common.  
     

    This was covered by CBS just this past weekend.  The LA school district had to change their entrance criteria to get more teachers hired for this season. 
     

    Have seen the bolded in the healthcare field the last year or so. 

     

    I'm unsure if the retirements were necessarily "early" (all were in their early 60s), but the decision to retire was motivated largely by new software being utilized by the institution and an a lack of desire to learn something new.

  12. 2022 NHL Draft Day 2

    Matt Seminoff at 179 is a huge value pickup for Dallas.  He was ranked by Mckeens at 62 and Dobber at 70.

    Come on Sabres take Mittelstadt with the next pick.

    Saw this writeup on him this morning and thought it would be an interesting pick:

     

    Quote

    LHD Luke Mittelstadt, Madison Capitals: The second passed-over player from my 2021 list that I’d consider taking in 2022, Mittelstadt is another late 2003 who played in the USHL this year and is off to college (Minnesota) in the fall. Mittelstadt is a highly-gifted offensive defenseman who led all under-19 USHL defensemen in goals (19) this year and finished second in that age bracket in points (55 in 60 games, which actually led the Capitals). He also added another five goals and nine points in 14 playoff games.

    Mittelstadt, the younger brother of Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt, was the star of Minnesota’s minor hockey and then high school circuit growing up and actually declined to go to the national program so that he could play at home. He’s got a silky first touch and regularly breaks ankles off of the point, and he made important progress developing his acceleration, his fitness and his decision-making this year. Both Mittelstadt and Wilmer were first-team all-stars in the USHL this season.

    Here was one source on Mittelstadt last year: “His talent is off the charts. Just on God-given talent, he’s above (Wild second-rounder Jack) Peart. He’s that talented. He’s a true skill guy.”

  15. NHL Trade Rumors and Speculation 2022-23

    Friedman mentioned on the Pod that Bruce Garrioch reported in order to move Matt Murray the Sens would have to include the 7OA Pick. Friedman reported the Sens probably do not want to do that. Adams should offer 28 (preferably)or 16 to Ottawa for 7OA and Murray. 


    Murray has two years left at 6.25 Million AAV and has a history with Mike Bales. 

    It seems impossible that this is the case.

    LOL. "I think the Sabres with no goalies and multiple UFAs up front and on D are shopping to improve their 23rd-place team in all positions."

    I'm not usually an Insder-basher, but sometimes just say "I haven't really heard any news"

    Dreger is my least favorite. He’ll talk for twenty minutes and not say anything.
