Wasn't that what was being listed as a possible top line if the season started tomorrow?

I understand that not every player lives in the city year round, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for the bruins to have a chunk of their team together in Boston to do this It would just be nice to have a Captain of this team holding scrimages and practices with teammates of his team here in Buffalo, even if it involves him coning back into town for a few weeks during the summer, or flying some of his teammates out to where he is to do this. Instead, our captain is off skating with a group of players from another team thats able to get together during the summer months.

Look at how much money was donated to Andy Daltons charity for a pass made in a Bills game to allow them into the playoffs to break the drought?

That was also a time when the standards where much higher. It was unacceptable to not make the playoffs or get knocked out in the first round right now parades would be held and statues built if they just make the playoffs They also had veterans on the roster to help bring the young players along, players that had played years in the minors and were ready to make the jump into lower roles on the main roster. Now they are selling off the young(ish) talent and just expecting youth to come in and take the place on the roster with a few underwhelming veterans putting alot of pressure on the bigger name youth who are going to be expected/counted on by the fans and media to step it up and carry the team as they develop

Yeah, but it still would be nice for the team Captain of the sabres to do this rather then with another team....

Its sad/funny because he probably has a better chance of being the starter in the NHL then he does in the AHL (Assuming UPL is the AHL starter this year)

They could end up the best Canadian team next year, but thats not saying much compared to the rest of the league. Toronto will be the closest competition for them and I wouldn't say Toronto has gotten better, but I also don't think they really got any worse. Montreal would be next and they could come crashing back to earth next year. They were just good enough to make the playoffs in an expanded format and got hot at the right time in them. I don't know if that happens again and it pretty much relies on if Price can play like he did in the playoffs during the season. Edmonton is still Edmonton, and Calgary, Ottawa and Vancouver are still teams that are hovering around middle of the pact with Ottawa finishing a rebuild and the other 2 retooling again.

I never said they screwed up by not signing, I was just saying that if they were going to talk a goalie out of retirement, why not the last good goalie the team had here who just retired at the end of the season. and yeah, I'm aware that the border is still closed, but its not stopping actors from being here to film (the cast of the netflix hit 'The Umbrella academy' are filiming in Hamilton and were at Canadas Wonderland today in Toronto. Also the Canadian border is allowing sports teams to travel accross the border to play with the Jays having their true 'Home Opener' on Friday against the Royals.

Would TP have money in the budget to get some black paint (or even some black tape) to turn the 00's into 8's?

I'm not going to defend Adams or the front office, but from whats being said, Ullmark was considering staying and esigning, but he was not ruling out leaving if given a better opportunity. He negotiated with the team and had an offer from them today. It sounds like he was ready to sign but he (or his agent or both) decided to check with other teams that were interested and see if they would match or exceed Buffalos offer and the Bruins were willing to do it. So he chose to move on. Unless Adams had the signed offer sitting on his desk to be forwarded to the league office, he can't just assume Ullmark is going to be back, he has to be out working on deals for others with the hope that Ullmark does accept it. It almost seems like Adams only interest was in bringing back Ullmark or going with whatever was left on the market to compete with the youth on the roster. It seems like they weren't interested in chasing after any of the other goalies available and figured it was Ullmark or scraps to just get through the season until one of the younger guys is ready.

As fans, we all want that, unfortunately it seems ownership and the front office believe this is the way to get better. That you have to hit rock bottom first before you can try to improve. Instead of bringing ladders to get themselves out of the hole they are in, they think its best to bring in an excavator and dynamite to get themselves out. Its funny because when TP came here, teh team was a middle of the pact team that could fluctuate between possibly going deep into the playoffs or just missing out and fans were sick of 'just making the playoffs' they assumed you just need to get bad to rebuild yourself into a dynasty. This is now the third time the teams has been 'rebuilding' and they still cant dig themselves out of a hole and fans would look at being a playoff contender as being a good goal to be at.

I think their son would be at the age where he would just be starting school And #3 used to be the way it was done, now many actors/acctresses are moving out of California and NY (Some of the spots in Texas are heating up) because they are able to audition through video now instead of having to be there in person. Toronto and Hamilton (along with Vancouver) are becoming very popular for filming shows and movies, especially ones for Netflix and the streaming services. Considering she hasn't had a role in anything major since 2014-15, I don't know that her schedule would be so busy that she needs to be full time in LA for the next 8-10 months

Or he might be feeling much better about his deal knowing he is only being paid $25k less then the starters Also, earlier in the day everyone was saying how they couldn't go into the season with Tokarski as the starter, now fans are thinking it might be a better option.......

So the upside of the Sabres goaltending this season will be that either of their guys can just be waived if something better comes along...... This year they have made 7 or 8 signings and have yet to spend $8 mil

Man, KA is showing the Bruins up now. Anderson and Dell tandem for next year. Bet you Vegas and Montreals GMs are in amazement that the Sabres were able to get a tandem of goalies for only $1.5 mil

But that could be because Playboy was already on its way out by the time she was hitting it big, she was in Maxim (I would argue maxim was bigger/more popular 5-8 years ago then playboy) and had been in some of their top ranked woman lists. The most recent movie she was in looks like it could have been a cheesey porn, and it looks like she is the biggest name in it Is there going to be a Taxi Squad this year?

Thats why I am cool with him being brought in as a coach/mentor, but as a guy who will have to play some games?

He played in NJ last year? I only remember him as a goalie on the Sharks So it looks like the Sabres veteran tandem for next season have started less then a dozen total combined games last year?

Rivals Janet Gretzkys career.......

Are you sure? I wouldn't have minded hearing that he was coming in to be a goaltending coach, but right now they are going to have a 40 year old starter who just a few days ago had planned to retire from the league

He was going to retire just a couple of days ago He was pretty solid in Ottawa but they were moving on from him as he was getting closer to 40

Lots of shows and movies are being filmed in Hamilton and Toronto these days Outside of the secondary character from the Charlie Sheen show years ago, does anyone know another role she has had?

He could literally be a father to some of the players on the roster....... On the annual fathers trip he would be hanging out with the Dads coming on the trip because they would be closer in age....

I think he signed in Philly earlier today

He was going to retire just a couple of days ago. If they were going this route, why not give Miller a ring Nd get him to do a final lap in Buffalo. At least get some nostalgia to sell tickets this year
