Weave

Got it. Thx. I agree it is a huge risk to bring in an inexperienced head coach when the franchise is at such a low point. The hope that does exist has to be quite tenuous at this point.

Never occurred to me. Definitely should have.

If only there wasn’t an entire continuum between Eric Staal and waiting for all inexperienced lineup.

Define rushing. We have a critical mass of kids already. It’s not rushing to bring in a handful of good vets and begin showing them what it takes to win next season.

If this turns into a long-ish war you can kiss last years draft goodbye.

I’m not sure of what you are getting at with this. Elaborate please?

And shiny new toy syndrome.

I don’t know how anyone can form a firm opinion of Donny G as a coach when we’ve never seen him operate in an expectation of winning environment. Im not on board with not blocking the kids and not prioritizing wins, but that’s Donny Gs marching orders. It definitely sets up a how-can-you-evaluate-him-as-coach scenario, though.

Oh man. Gotta be Zemgus, right? He’s the elder statesman of the tank era. And how about angry Larry?

And PAs contention is that coaching is one of the deficiencies.

Oh damn. That is an awful day. So sorry to hear.

Good luck. Fortunately, modern trauma treatment is amazing.

Like that’s ever stopped the Sabres. We had a pretty good run of trading captains while they were captain.

I'm going for the longevity pick. Craig Ramsay.

That’s about as narrow an interpretation as you could make.

Yes please. Hockey trades AND weaponized cap space. I know, right? It moved.

I guess I am blissfully ignorant of this. What is the storyline? Or dare I say, narrative?

Me either. That’s a piece of trivia I never knew.

There is a date where the players will need to be on Rochester’s roster, but it can be a paper move and they can be put right back on Buffalo’s roster immediately after and remain there until season end. As long as they are on the Amerks roster on that date they are eligible for AHL playoffs. I don’t recall the exact date.

Amerks gonna be stacked for the playoffs.

Is it still Bombay too?

Apparently you only read the opening post and replied before you got the context. Its an accurate statement in context. And keep the political pot shots out of it.

For now……. And word of intense “interviews” of people leaving the country right now.

I’m guessing in terms of season tix holders she’s probably correct.

You wouldn’t if maintaining some level of infrastructure for when you take over was important. Apparently a functional Ukraine isn’t a priority for Putins plans. It could still tie up Russia for years if the people there don’t submit, ala Afganistan.
