So you are not willing to give up much to obtain a 2nd pair, defensively sound D man that fits our system. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Who are you willing to give up that is actually worth a 2nd pair RD that fits our system?

A 2nd or 3rd pairing D man with experience and fits the system in Buffalo that will sign a deal for short term. Are there really many better choices?

As long as his skating holds up this could be plausible. Teppo and Patrick did it on the strength of amazing skating not really diminishing and veteran smarts.

Like pissing down my back and telling me it’s raining.

I wonder if they are doing him a favor by not having his record affected by what’s coming in Boston.

Of course there is.

The Sabres and Bills take up 90% of my budget. The Dodgers get the rest. No room to explore soccer.

I mean really, we are the same as Edmonton at this point. They got 4 first OALs. We got 2 firsts and 2 second OALs. The shraderenfreude is strange.

Dahlin and Power disagree.

I trust that he wasn’t good enough on a team that was defensively shallow, and isn’t terribly likely to be good enough on a deeper team today. As mentioned above, he’d be outside of the top 4 LHD right on the depth chart today.

Lingering covid symptoms.

He wasn’t good enough then. He sure as hell won’t be good enough now.

Yeah, but the thread is about Fairburn.

Who?

And that is why I believe it will need to be crammed home. The politicians on the right do not have a sincere interest in helping. There is too much NRA money to be lost.

Politicians.

Can you honestly say you perceive sincerity in wanting a solution from the right?

The other side has shown repeatedly that there is no compromise. Thank you NRA. This is only getting done one way. As I’ve said up thread, the other side won’t be invited to the table because they won’t compromise and they won’t defy the NRA.

Up until now you’ve hinted at this with plenty of talking points laced in between that are too commonly heard among politicians that aren’t really interesting in solving this. Thank you for laying out your position. We’re mostly in agreement. I’ve seen a well working ban get ended due to politics. My only large change to your thoughts are to not give it an expiration date. If it isn’t working as intended it can be ended legislatively if needed. Politically you can do something to help. You can stop supporting the pols who are stonewalling efforts to reduce the violence.

Except its not 30yr old data. Removal of access works. Today. Root cause from the last 2 shootings, access to weapons of mass destruction. Implementation needs to consider today. The cause is unchanged. It’s always been about access.

We’ve done a commendable job of making other instruments of mass destruction difficult to obtain. Assault rifles need to catch up. And new things get dealt with as they appear. Why is this not difficult for the rest of the world, but a major undertaking for threat identifiers and responders here?
