PDOcast with Dmitri Filipovic's most recent episode was a really good listen. Guest was Andrew Thomas:

Wasn’t the Dahlin/right side a thing pre draft?

32-41-56 are his point totals in 3 full seasons. He is not a 30 point guy
He was a healthy scratch for the Sharks as recently as last season. Not interested in Donskoi at what it will likely cost to get him.

My guess is it needs to be the Marleau contract at least ($6.25M x 3) - maybe more

The Stars would be a nice fit, a team on the rise that had a strong season, and has enough cap space for Pavelski with Jason Spezza gone and pending UFA Mats Zuccarello still unsigned. The Lightning? I’m not sure how exactly they could fit Pavelski in with their cap situation even with J.T. Miller gone and Ryan Callahan’s contract more or less no longer a factor; they still have Brayden Point to sign among other players. But Pavelski is such an attractive add, I can see why Tampa would want to at least try.
I also think Buffalo is among the teams that called the Pavelski camp but the Sabres don’t have a site visit scheduled with Pavelski.

I’d like Kaliyev

It's over only 15 games. 1070 yards and 12 TDs is a pretty great season for a Tight End.

“As I understand it, The News lost $250,000 worth of business with the Pegulas at one point. I heard it was Sabres programs. It came to my attention at the time,” says Sullivan, referencing Kim and Terry Pegula, the owners of the Bills and Sabres. “I recall one specific major staff meeting, not just sports but the whole department, one of the advertising people joked in front of the whole room about Sully costing us that money. I think there was a general understanding that it as negative sports writing that caused the Pegulas to pull that.”
“When there are only two teams in town, and they’ve already pulled accounts for negative sports writing; when there are only two columnists, whether it’s overt or otherwise, there’s at least a subliminal desire on the part of the people running the sports department to lighten the touch,” added Sullivan. “It’s a business. The biggest business is right across the street.”
That business being Pegula Sports and Entertainment, which sits across the intersection from The Buffalo News.

I mean, say that about Schopp with a straightface, haha.
I agree with you about Sal for the most part, but I don't think its because of the paychecks. I think he's just a homer. Which works well with his position for the team! But he's always pretty biased towards them. Before he worked for WGR he had a Bills podcast, and he used to post a lot on a forum I used to frequent called the Buffalo Range under the name "Coach C". Even back then he was a bit of a homer.
Not that he frequents here, but @Meathead I think was a regular over there for a while, too.I still get emails from Buffalo Range, cannot figure out how to get them to stop sending them to me.

John Murphy, Kelso, Eric Wood are Bills employees. In Sal's role as sideline reporter during the broadcast I believe he is working for the Bills Radio Network.
His role as Bills Beat Reporter is for WGR.
Not speaking definitively, but I think this is the case.

He's the sideline reporter for the Bills radio broadcast

Jon going to the Night's Watch was shocking. Don't see why Bran doesn't just pardon him after a year.
I thought that too, or even a day after the Unsullied left.

I think they implied that the plan was for the dragons to light the trench, Davos flagged them but they couldn't get the signal due to the storm.

"Playoff Caliber" is something that McDermott has been pushing as a slogan since he got here. Article from Oct 2017:
QuoteNot long after Sean McDermott took over the Buffalo Bills in January, the first-year coach made "playoff caliber" a ubiquitous slogan around the practice facility.
It is found on the hallway walls between meeting rooms, on players' nameplates in the locker room, on the doors of the team cafeteria and on T-shirts players wear when they're not practicing. The words have become so ingrained in the thinking of those within the organization that when veteran cornerback Shareece Wright took an eight-hour Uber ride from Chicago to make a voluntary practice in June, coaches praised him by telling him his action was -- you guessed it -- playoff caliber.
The video from Feb 2018 was titled Playoff Caliber

So @dudacek posted the link below, in a different thread, to a 31 Thoughts podcast with Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek. They do a nice, in-depth Sabres discussion for about 8 minutes. (I listened to a few episodes of this podcast early this season and then bailed because I find Friedman too verbose and it makes the podcast too long IMHO. But it doesn't bother me when they're doing the Sabres.)
Regarding the length of 31 thoughts episodes, they've pared their episodes down by cutting out the interview and posting it on a separate day.

Jeremy White said his source says "somethings up"
Which he mentioned could mean anything

They've been to the playoffs 5 of his 8 years as GM, including two Super Bowl appearances. 1 SB win. Seems like he's at least decent at it.

What are the odds of Eric Reid being drug-tested this much?
Let’s go through some numbers that we first dove into when Reid received his fifth drug test of the season. There were 72 players on the Panthers’ roster eligible for drug testing. NFL drug-testing policy dictates that 10 players from each team, supposedly chosen randomly by a computer, are tested each week of the season.
Reid has been with Carolina for 11 weeks and says he has been drug-tested seven times, though one of those would have been his mandatory annual test that is basically part of his physical. That means six positive results out of 11 chances on odds that work out to 72 divided by 10.
Using a cumulative binomial probability calculator, those numbers work out to a 0.17 percent chance of Reid getting randomly selected at least six times in 11 chances, according to the NFL’s rules. That’s a 1-in-588 chance. Reid would have a better chance at correctly guessing a coin flip nine times in a row.
Considering Reid and the NFL’s relationship, hitting on those odds that often is quite convenient for a league likely looking for any reason to make Reid go away.

I thought the joke was that Phat Phil like donuts. Did he shift to hot dogs without telling us?
QuoteThe hot dog vendor who parks daily at Front and John Sts. just lost his most reliable customer.
Almost every afternoon at 2:30 p.m., often wearing a toque, Phil Kessel would wander from his neighbourhood condominium to consume his daily snack.

Last year Patriots lost to the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football 42-27
In 2003 they lost to the Bills in the opener 31-0, then beat the Eagles the following week 31-10 in Philadelphia. Went on to finish the season 14-2.

Even with retention Turris' contract is too long. They're out from under Bogo and Scandella after this coming season.
