Bury Gorges this year and Moulson next year, problem solved.

I'd guess 8x7.75mil

I'd take the trade to 12 as long as the asset was useful for this coming year. I wouldn't trade down to 26/28 regardless of the offer because I want the playoff next year not in 2 or 3

I certainly hope you are wrong since in that case next year will probably have a very similar roster to this years

Unless we have an internal cap again, I want Darcy no where near our front office

Like the 1st trade, still disinterested in Vantenen though. Rather go after the cheaper Trevor Van Reimdyke

USA won over Italy 5-2 Eichel had 1 goal and it was early. He had some other nice chances and created a lot but ended with just the one point. Canada beat the Swiss 4-1 O'Reilly wasn't on the score sheet.

If tanks is bad then what the hell did we do to deserve what happened in '99 or Drury/Briere or any of that I honestly just don't see tanking as morally wrong hence no reason for there to be bad karma involved with it.

Montreal is the counter argument since without an elite forward of any kind they have never truly been a Cup Contender. And elite players are almost exclusively at the top of the draft. Also Edmonton didn't tank, they were just incompetent and got very lucky. We attempted one of those fly up and stall tricks in the dogfight of hockey, we are just having trouble restarting the propeller. Edmonton got lucky and inadvertently caused their enemy's aircraft to fly into church steeple when Edmonton's plane was sputtering over some French town.

Because that would absolutely #### any non-playoff team. It also makes the MLB trade deadline an absolute bore. Plus remember their franchises have so many random prospects that they can trade in an almost only player-based market. At the end of an MLB year they have a 40 man roster, 10 fewer than an NHL team can have in total contracts. An MLB roster hold 25 most of the time with 3+ minor league affiliates. The NHL + AHL has about 46 players. That's at minimum when including unsigned assets for an NHL team, about 65 players for the NHL teams to 100+ for a MLB team. Not to mention how long the MLB draft is, and their lack of a salary cap.

Alzner, Williams, Boyle are the 3 non-Buffalo UFA's I'd be interested in.

Where's the starting lineups and stuff? :)

Alright guys, scenario time. What would you do if the Sabres had: 1st Overall: 2nd Overall: 3rd Overall: 6th Overall: 7th Overall: 8th Overall: 9th Overall: For me personally, 1st Overall: Hischier/Patrick 2nd Overall: Hischier/Patrick 3rd Overall: Hischier/Patrick/Trade down if at all possible within Top 10 if just picks, if players involved anywhere in 1st 6th Overall: Makar/Liljegren/BPA 7th Overall: Makar/Liljegren/BPA 8th Overall: Makar/Liljegren/BPA 9th Overall: Cry

2/3 year bridge please

Dudley, Dubas, Keefe (Cutting edge) Dudley, Fenton/Botterill/Brisebois, Housley (Seasoned 1st timers) ??, Maciver, Housley (Tube socks + chewing gum = victory) Lombardi, Dubas, Keefe (The battle of the Analytica)

But in our case we had no way of naturally creating the situation those teams were in. Our franchise is certainly stable and we were trapped in 7-10th place. The loss of Drury and Briere destroyed us because we lacked the engine to drive our otherwise nice boat into port. The only way to truly get a new engine is drafting high or getting incredibly lucky. We tried using oars(Adam, Roy,Hodgson,Ennis) but that isn't enough to win a Cup. We were in a sense a lesser version of what Montreal is now. Great team that you really don't see as a Cup contender. Was it beautiful, far from it but there was no other realistic route to fixing the old core.

If we won 3rd overall would you trade it to Carolina for #11 and Pesce?

He's an RFA so either signed or traded. We couldn't use him if he wants to play center

Great stuff, all of it! McDavid tried to walk in front of my car back when he was at the combine. He came out of the HarborCenter with Strome, Marner and a couple others I didn't recognize without paying attention. Luckily I was driving slow, to see if I could see some players; and Strome grabbed him before he had fully walked over the curb.

Or are we talking this Fenton? https://youtu.be/CtB1HQt6ak8?t=11s

Eichel is there so yes, and hopefully Matthews will join him soon

Well the Sabres are my team, the Hawks are my father's favorite thus they are my 2nd favorite to watch.

Now I'm at a loss on who to root for, hate Nashville because they beat the Hawks. Don't want a Canadian team to win, don't want the Pens to repeat, Boston can burn in hell, which leaves me with: St.L - Hawks rival so no... Minnesota - likely eliminated Washington - Sure Anaheim - Sure SJ - Sure Wow I have two 2-2 series and a 2nd Round team... *cries in corner about Hawks* *cries harder due to the Sabres* *runs out of tears*

I want nothing to do with Lombardi, he's worse than GMTM was with contracts. Not to mention the whole Mike Richards scandal.

God please not Lombardi
