That made my day !

Kessler handcuffed them. He got pretty good return considering.

When this comes into effect we'll already be making our first steps towards respectability which will give us an increased chance at picking first whether we deserve it or not. I prefer the worst gets first model. The league will eventually realize their folly and go back to the old system or a hybrid of the two in 6 or 7 years. Its just the way bush leagues do it.

There's certainly nothing wrong with trading ufas who let it be known they won't resign. This is essentially what the Sabres have done which is well within the rules. There's also nothing wrong with trading aging vets whether they produce or not for picks or prospects. Thats also within the rules. Compliance buyouts last I heard were within the rules. Retooling, resetting, rebuilding are all terms that explain a method of getting better and eventually giving the fans a better product to follow. I really don't see a problem here. Nobodies losing on purpose. We're following a formula that works and playing within the rules. Can't wait for draft day. Lets hope Murray hits it out of the park.

I'd take Eckhart Tolle

Your second point is spot on. What Regier was more than happy to shoot for every year was vanilla in terms of icing a competitive team regardless of the fact that we came close a couple of times. Building through the draft and adding to that mix with tactful trades and the odd addition through free agency will be much more enjoyable once this ahem cough cough tank is over.

Crikey ! You've been stubbed by Stebb.

Sorry. Should have clarified. Zadorov.

I agree on Z. I'd hate to see him anywhere but a sabre.

Tank you very much Mr. Bettman.

Leinos contract was a shartnado :blink:

The wife and I are going to see the Black Keys in Vancouver. Stoked. Gots to see Dan Auerbach play some heavy blues.

If Scott is not on this team the Sabres brass will be looking for a replacement ' goon ' by the quarter mark to protect the kids. Just sayin.

I agree. Bad officiating sucks. It went both ways for every team in the playoffs. Its unfortunate you feel the refs handed game 5 to the Kings. I didn't see it that way.

Thats o.k. Burkes judgement isn't very good. He thinks of himself as a genius too.

Thats our quarterback. Hands off Burkie

Wow dude. Get over it. The Kings were worthy winners. The better team won. Just sayin

Damn. Trying to spell that one made my head hurt.

I used my devining rod. L.A. ends it tonight. They do not want to go back to Gotham.

That sucks Richard

Rangers have been relentless. Too little too late. Kings will sweep.

Myers, ehrhoff,hodgson,grigs,staff

A better example would be the Kessel trade to Toronta. But that worked out swell for Beantown. I'd still pull the trigger on an interconference trade in todays N.H.L.
