Weave

Absolutely. In spades.

The scale is 10x. A good chunk doesn’t create similarity. The difference in scale is immense.

*head explodes*

The ending preposition in the title makes me twitch. sry

This is the only play.

I’ll die on the hill of that team needed veterans to prop up the kids. It’s readily apparent that the wrong veterans were obtained in that trade. Loved Kaner’s game. Wished in came in the form of a better character to help lead the kids.

I question the useful part.

You gotta love the way the goalposts get moved. I don’t trust the vaccine. Its not approved. I don’t trust the vaccine. The approval was rushed. I don’t trust the vaccine. The scientists approving it are part of a deep state. What would be the motivation for the these scientists to ok something that may be harmful? What conspiracy theory with no evidence behind it are we supposed to subscribe to?

I’ll take “Things that never happened” for $800, Alex. So, you cite CDC flu stats to bolster your argument but discredit CDC stats that don’t support your argument? Edit to add- there is a 20% increase in payouts to hospitals for covid related treatment related to the fact that Covid care is much more costly, but only for Medicaid and uninsured patients. It is patently untrue that hospitals were getting $33k from the feds every time a patient was coded with Covid.

Holy ***** are you ignoring scale here. From the CDC 2017–2018 Burden Estimates CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2017–2018 season was high with an estimated 45 million people getting sick with influenza, 21 million people going to a health care provider, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths from influenza (Table 1). In another month or two we may see as many DEATHS from COVID as there were hospitalizations from the 2017 flu season. And COIVD has already claimed more than 10x the lives as that flu season. And that doesn't even account for long term health issues due to COVID illnesses.

Or hire an experienced front office guy to help him grow into the role?

You are in denial. That was the plan. It was the plan all along. You are judging him against a standard that he isn't even working to. As for the first parts, KA is very much in development just as those kids are. Why would you assume he isn't developing as well?

Just in time for the next lockdown.....

I'm more perplexed about your eternal optimism for young players that haven't shown much beyond flashes of occasional competence in 2 seasons but won't afford the GM the same.

It was a hair tongue in cheek. But not entirely. The issues surrounding this team over the last 10 years are complex. Jack isn’t guilty of them, but IMO he’s not innocent either. I think we lucked into the wrong guy for the job, but the job also was exceedingly complicated. House of cards is accurate for all of the layers of failure we have endured.

In this specific instance the answer may very well be yes. A 3rd option- Granato was being ad upbeat as possible and was lobbying to get these guys to want to be here.

NS, I think you are being willfully blind here. All 3 made enough noise to easily connect the dots that they preferred to be elsewhere. It is a rate athlete that comes out and directly states this, but they often say enough to convey the message. That was the case here.

I also have a coworker that self medicated with Ivermectin. He caught covid over the winter. I hadn’t heard of it at that time.

But think of all the top 8 draft picks we’d lose out on.

This is the most Sabrespace thing that has ever been posted.

1st 3 pro seasons. Name that player Temper the enthusiasm a bit until he shows more. Yes there are age differences in these players. But we've been down this path before.

I’d be surprised if Rick’s finale wasn’t the Sabres season home finale.

The 2nd question is rhetorical, right?
