Maybe he redshirted.

No.

I think they are maybe two years away. I love what Adams is doing though.

The only way I don't want Levi and Portillo splitting time in Rochester is if one of them proves they are ready for the NHL.

This is a good signing. If he stays healthy Josh will make it look like a very good signing. Upgrade over Beasley for much less money.

Bills traded a 7th for Case Keenum to back up Allen.

We absolutely should not get Myers. Carrier would be a perfect fit though if we could somehow pry him out of Nashville.

Episode 34 they speak highly of JJ, there's no possible way you could interpret their comments as them saying JJ won't make it to the NHL. I sure would like to know what episode he thinks he heard that on.

I think SDS is mistaken, I don’t think they actually said that.

I assume you're talking about the "After the whistle" podcast with Peters and Rivet? Yes, under the PSE umbrella they were very limited in what they could say. They're able to speak freely now. The show is 80-90% Sabres related, often they are critical of the organization as a whole and once in a while will bash a particular player. Mitts comes to mind as a recent example. They have Friedman, Roenick and Gionta on regularly. I enjoy their show and think it is far superior to Marty and Duff on the instigators.

I know, but I think that Iowa kid is going to be special. Can't have too many OL.

I hope they take the center from Iowa.

Do you think NFL contracts are guaranteed like NHL contracts? We dont know what the actual guaranteed money is yet, but Miller will not be on the roster for six years and he won't be paid 120M.

I don't believe so, they're not similar players.

That's true, but if he's not signed this summer than next year he has the option of playing at Michigan one more year and becoming a UFA (and finishing his degree, which he may or may not care about). I don't think he has anything left to prove at the college level. If Adams sees it differently I disagree, but I'm sure his people know more about that than I do. If Adams wants to send him back to college simply to slide his contract a year I think that would be short sighted and foolish of him. Also true about the players you mentioned leaving this year, but I don’t think that impacts the decision he makes next year.

I think if we don't sign Portillo this summer he'll go the the UFA route.

John Scott trashed Eichel on his latest "Dropping the gloves" podcast if anyone is interested in listening to it.

I don't believe there's any possibility of him signing without assurances he burns a year of his ELC, nor should he.

It's definitely not a bad move. Denver was a complete team outside of QB. Wilson makes them super bowl contenders.

Bedard or bust!

This seems like a reach.

He doesn't owe us a damn thing. No, he doesn't. He's on the right path and needs to stay the course.

Yes, I believe this is what's happening. I like the idea, but only if he's a net positive on the ice.

My expectations for next year is low 70s and a top five pick. I'm okay with that.

Andy Strickland is full of *****. Poile is not "actively shopping" him.
