    Please let his GF's name be Elaine...

    I agree. He could very easily wash out.

    Nice. Thanks.

    Well, i didn't watch those interviews with Kane. But my takeaway from TP's stressing of "character, communication, etc" was that it related more to failings in how the organization was run off the ice than to individual players. I.e. it seemed to me that TP came away from the exit interviews with players and staff with the impression that GMTM ran a disorganized snake pit of an organization, and that this inevitably had deleterious effects on the on-ice product. Also, my understanding is that Kane generally practices hard and doesn't present a team discipline problem. If I'm wrong about that, then I think your prediction becomes more likely.

    I'm going to predict that Kane is not a goner (assuming he stays out of trouble this summer). I think TP will not micromanage his new GM on something like this -- and that the new GM is going to want to keep Kane.

    I've been fairly optimistic about the Bills since they decided to keep TT -- because I think it was the right decision for this team, because I think it gives them a shot at the playoffs this year (as opposed to the oblivion that would've been locked in with Cardale or the Fitz-type journeyman they would've ended up with) and, most of all, because it signified to me that DW has been marginalized. Also, I kinda like McD, although of course it's way too early to tell.

    And Justin Schultz. And, of course, Chad Ruhwedel. (Here's an factoid I found interesting: Ruhwedel is from San Diego. Pretty rare hometown for an NHLer, eh?)

    "It's different this time," he said bravely. But really, it is. Tra'Davious!

    One other thing that's gonna happen: KC will win 10-11 games next year and the #1 the Bills get from them will be at the end of the 1st round. I'm not criticizing the trade, because I don't know how good the players are that they passed on by trading down, but it's not like they got a huge bounty in return (unlike, say, the bounty they gave up in the Watkins trade).

    Any trade that nets you a dude named Tredavious is a winner.

    I'm ready to call NFW on Franson returning.
  12. nfreeman
    Well, I'll try, but I've got my limitations!
  13. nfreeman
    Me too.

    I'd be interested in a fancystats breakdown on this, if you're so inclined.

    I was and remain generally on board with most of GMTM's moves. I also think it's too early to tell on quite a few of them. I just don't think it's fair to say his talent evaluation is "unquestioned." Ottawa was a mediocre team while he was there, the Sabres were a train wreck while he was here, and a number of his moves are quite questionable. (Another one that I forgot to mention was Pysyk for Kulikov. While I think it was a good trade at the time that was derailed by Kuli's injury, plenty of reasonable hockey observers disagree.)

    I'm not interested in a GM from either Phoenix or Toronto. I want one from an organ-eye-zation that has had a lot of success for a period of years -- not a franchise that has had zero success (Phoenix) or a smidgen (Toronto).

    I'm predicting that they draft a CB.

    Don't get too clingy and needy or he'll bail again.

    Ah, OK -- didn't realize she slept at the office. Thanks.

    No one would give Moulson $3MM in free agency.

    Am I crazy, or did Kim drive to her gym in the morning just to shower and get dressed there (ie without exercising)?
  22. nfreeman
    This is a bit generous. Quite a few people have questioned, e.g., Lehner, Reino over Draisaitl, the 2014 draft generally, etc.
  23. nfreeman
    I believe you, but I'd sure like some deets...

    The first sentence of this post cannot possibly be right. #Hammymath. Try it! It's easy and fun!

    I'm nominating "Paul Hamilton math" for immediate platinum membership in the Sabrespace inside joke lexicon. #Hammymath
