I'd keep McCabe over Fowler only for that reason. Since Fowler is a UFA in Eichel/Reinhart's year Why'd you quote yourself? :unsure:

5-3 Buffalo, Gudreau scores with 5 left in the 3rd but too little too late. Goals Risto x2 Okposo Larsson Moulson PP Assists Reinhart x3 OReilly x2 Foligno Gionta Kulikov Okposo Risto Girgs hits the post Foligno fights Rob Ray says acrost

The banter is what makes it fun to listen to

Murray came to Buffalo with the LAK model in mind, and in the 2 years he's been here the league shifted to more speed and the LAK have fallen and are having trouble getting back up. So he's having to modify his original plans to bring a bit more speed to the team. Also I don't think he expected Moulson's downfall or that he wouldn't get the chance to sign Yandle or Goligoski.

Edm and LAK are the two team which supposedly had a bit of interest in him over the off season I certainly would not; Nylander/a 1st > Fowler for the Sabres

I'm not sure if this was mentioned but Nelson was playing his off side the whole game.

Trade Franson to Edm for a 3rd and a 5th Sign Wisniewski to the vet minimum for 1 year. Then just sit some more. The idea would be to free up some cap space and just let the Ducks sweat. And we get rid of Franson.

I have to agree with the statement that Kane's injury deflated the team. Most played scared the rest of the game besides a couple scuffles. On the 4th goal Risto was doomed, he lost his stick, shoved his man to the ice and said man kept hacking away but he really couldn't go down and grab him without taking a holding or inadvertently falling on Lehner. Then he tries to save the goal from going in but again without a stick is a moment too late. He had some nice plays, and some weaker ones. Nelson-Franson was horrifying. A pylon who refuses to play his off wing playing next to a guy with less than 10 games NHL experience playing on his off side. Franson was slow as molasses. Eichel's impact and spot was sorely missed, and you could tell the RKO line had had only a day to practice together. GMTM please go pick up Alex Tanguay or another player of that situation. I'd rather not have 2 rookie wingers

Let's go get ourselves 2 points! Love the modified jacket

I doubt ROR plays if Eichel was in. I'd bet he's playing through the pain to help his team.

46 to 50 days so about sometime in December 6 weeks to 4 months is the timeline given varying on severity. So anytime between late November and the Feb 1st which would 17 weeks.

Obviously he'll be permanently hampered and Buffalo will continue mediocrity until the damn end of time...... why?

I can tolerate 6 years at 5.4mil Both sides win

6 at 5.4

I have figured out how to sign Risto & Trouba while not trading Bogosian. Trade Franson to EDM for G. Reinhart, a 3rd and a 4th in 2019 Trade E. Kane to ANA for Fowler and Stoner Trade Fowler and a 2nd for Trouba

Too rich for my taste, everyone always wants to trade Bogosian, but I really don't see how we'll gain from trading a 1st, Kane, and Bogosian for Trouba and insert random winger here

I'll say this I think he had the skill to be a great player but he was extremely stubborn and unwilling to adapt to the game from his style. Nolan may have been the straw that broke the camel's back but Hodgson was always doomed to fall off if he couldn't learn to adapt. His Dad's insistence on his greatness may have been his downfall since he never learned he wasn't perfect until he'd gone too far down the rabbit hole. I wish him luck however in his future endeavors

Then GMTM is a moron since 5/6 years literally gives us nothing in terms of safety. He could walk or gouge us.

Did we clone him or something? He was playing in the World Cup tonight with Canada. :blink:

Great video

95% of my trade proposals effectively are shameful. But I did call the Weber trade and another in the past.

Actually Vatenen, who has sucked, was at the point when the ENG went in.

You have an unhealthy obsession with incentive. Remember that Myers had shown work ethics problems immediately after his rookie season by coming in out of shape. Zadorov would have been in the same camp based on his past. Risto did the opposite, after playing half and half his first year he picked up good habits from AHL teachers, stop eating junk food, worked off any extra fat and became leaner and meaner going into his second year. And continued into his third year. That kind of work ethic is rarely something you can fake, He's also the guy who at 20 confronted GMTM about the tank because he hates losing that much.

Funk?

Honestly it just seems as if we never find a good coach, they all either are terrible HCs while good coordinators, and/or egotistical ######## who accomplish little yet demand the moon. How do we honestly find a new HC who is innovative, or at least one open to it who's willing to let his coordinators be cutting edge or try stuff. Who isn't like Chip Kelly and just blows up a team entirely and gets nothing from it because he pisses off the entire team.
