It’s been noted that several former Sabres are having nice playoffs but Zac Dalpe scoring is over the top.

Sorry if my comment was unclear. Miller has had two very good years in his age 29 and 30 seasons, but prior to that did not have a career that screamed "$8M/year center". So when I think about 7 more years of JT Miller at 8M/year, for his age 31-37 year old seasons, I could see the final 2-3 seasons not being very good deals for the Canucks, and making him very difficult to unload if desired. Tage Thompson is signed over the same 7 years but at $860k less per season, and those will be his age 26-32 year old seasons. Thompson is already a more explosive goal scorer and almost as accomplished playmaker as Miller. Dylan Cozens is signed for those same 7 years, at $900k/year less than Miller, and those will be his age 23-29 year old seasons. His breakout season at age 22 with two rookies on his wing is almost as good as Miller's likely career best seasons at age 29 & 30. So...to the extent Miller has a reasonable NHL contract for a player of his caliber and age, the comparison with Thompson and Cozens makes clear what outrageously good contracts those are for the Sabres. Hence, as a Sabres fan, I can only chuckle in delight.

I realize he's left handed, but Samuel Girard would be OK with me. Fits the salary cap, term, and age window quite well. He's #4 in Colorado and would be a great #4 in Buffalo too. You have to just chuckle when looking at JT Miller's contract compared to Cozens and Thompson.

My hope is that we sign Compher, who is a Compher type player already.

Excited to see if Greenway can get his first assist as a Sabre.

Maybe we can get him back in Rochester!

OK, that made me laugh

Classy move by the Sens

No back to back's in playoffs.

Luke Hughes NHL debut for the Devils tonight.

Hell yeah!!!

Not willing to go that far but he did appear to touch it 17 separate times in the D zone that period with zero times clearing the zone

We’re all standing at full attention on this topic

Whew!

Assuming consistent performance in the remaining games I expect Levi is one of the two goalies to start the season in Buffalo next season. If I'm GMKA, I'm looking for an experienced vet goalie either via trade of FA to pair with Levi who can handle 30+ games no problem. That is neither UPL nor Comrie. Stanely Cup contenders have two good goalies, and I believe winning Cups is still the goal, even if it hasn't looked that way for awhile.

My secret goal of taking the class is to do just this.

Really wish I could just sit down and watch this one but Tuesdays are Japanese Language and Culture class with the wife. Should be able to get the 3rd period on my phone for the drive home (she will drive). The Buffalo fan in me is not optimistic on the outcome, but hope springs eternal. A win in regulation would be a nice step forward for the team. Ganbatte Buffalo Katana's!

I think he was talking about VO not Mitts

Mitts has changed my mind on him this past 40 games or so with his tenacity along the boards and playmaking. I love him as a high end 3rd liner who can move up to the Top 6 as an injury fill-in. Mind you, I am talking about his role on a contending team, which is the goal here. So if the financials can work, I'd like to see him in that role for the next 5 years or so.

Okposo being interfered with (no call) and fights through it and cashes. Love seeing flashes of the younger Kyle sometimes.

Lots of standing around there
