Dude is throwing a huge bird at Hockey Canada isn't he... I love it.

To be fair.. there are threads around here asking for Adams to get those type of players.

Are you suggesting that Adams work linearly or that somehow the pursuit of what people think he should be doing takes up all of his time?

He's being scouted... For a 9th round pick in 2033 (there will be 9 rounds then)

This is much more acceptable version. 🙂 Got a workout in.. ready for the game.. or ready to do other things I have scheduled for the night.. just a bit earlier. Ain't no rain on my parade...

Everyone who is saying Buffalo could have matched the offer.. that's correct, I am sure they could have. What is everyone's thoughts on whether that offer was available for Buffalo match? That's been floated out there that the trade offers are not always the same for each team. If you operate under that assumption then do you not also have to allow that perhaps Buffalo did not have that offer on the table to match? There's so many unknowns and that's why it's hard for me to get upset about these things.

Sure, it remains to be seen what the correct course of action is. Just opinions of what the correct course of action is. Chychrun however didn't seem like a great target for me... not a bad one, but not worth the cost. Time will tell if it works out for Ottawa.. it very well might.

I'm going to be in the minority that isn't bothered by this at all. Not bothered if they don't make any big trade. I'm with others(perhaps not that many) that Chychrun just wasn't worth what Ottawa gave up.. let alone paying more than that. I can understand why people are upset.. but so far the management of the team has not deviated from their course. Having expectation that they will is probably driving some people insane. I don't expect anything big because so far they haven't done anything big, they've not indicated they want to do anything big.

Fun conditions... Conditions: The ’23 1st-round pick is top-5 protected. If met, pick becomes ’24 1st-round unprotected. Additionally, should #Sens reach ’23 ECF, the 2nd-round pick becomes ’24 1st-round top 10-protected. If that condition is met, the pick becomes ’25 1st-round unprotected. 2/2 Imagine the Sens reaching the ECF?

That didn't age well.. 🙂

Detroit is going to get Chychrun... And Vancouver will trade Myers and Demko to Buffalo... It's as good a theory as any. 🙂

It just means he's not supposed to put too much weight on the leg/foot. Doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Good teams overcome injuries. if the Sabres can't overcome this then they shouldn't be in the playoffs. Other players need to step up.

Imagine you over there spreadin phallacies.

The rotating plant and the Emily In Paris photo.. it's the little things. 🙂

But his stats do not support $8M. That's what I was saying. He's an RFA and his only hope would be arbitration. It's going to be a hard case to make given the evidence on his own team. I wouldn't pay him $8M.

I don't disagree.. but it's a fine line. Trade deals tend to be more expensive than off-season deals. I think it's possible Buffalo makes a move to bring someone in. I don't think it will upset the prospect pool too much either. See.. with you I can't tell if this is a positive thing or a negative thing 🙂

And I'll be at that next game courtesy of the storm that postponed the Dec 29 matchup! Well, I believe the NHLPA is who negotiates what the NHL is allowed to fine as part of the CBA. So it's really the player's own union that is not protecting the players. The enforcement of the amounts is left to the NHL sure, but the maximums, etc. are not. I could be wrong.. but I don't think so. I've often thought the NHLPA should police its own.

But that said.. Vasilevsky didn't help the Lightning last night. I'd like better defense from the 5 skaters on the ice to lower opponent's scoring opportunities and percentages. And that's why I said what I did above.. anything can happen. All that aside.. the Sabres goaltending isn't good enough, but UPL is young, Comrie is a little less young. Anderson is old.. so.. defense, defense, defense. or offense offense offense and never let FLA have the puck. I'm good with that too.

This is fair. Also, that would be more minutes watching television than I will spend watching the Bills next year. Frazier is trash.

Invoking that douchenozzle does call for an immediate judge of the invoker. You are warranted.

Hell yeah they are... I was just trying to pick on the Brawndo bot 🙂

And I never said adding depth is crazy. Why are you insinuating that I did? That said.. trade deadline deals are often not the best value deals. There's no need to do anything.. the Sabres aren't winning anything this year.. no need to give up the future for the now.

***** man.. which is it? 😉

This is why it's folly for the Sabres to do anything crazy. Boston is going all, all in. The Leafs just did. Tampa has to be wondering what they can do. Every team near the top of the standings in the East, except the Devils are on their last legs. Making the playoffs would be great.. but the Sabres aren't quite ready to make a good run. No need to give up a solid long run starting next year for a one and done this year.

Well, it's stenciled in at center ice. So they should know.. we should all know. 🙂 30 years. This is your best post ever on here.... and it's not even close. (and I hate using that phrase, but this post was that good.) You were a bit premature, but I like the enthusiasm. It was... but not how you think. This is super unfortunate because in the post game you'd hear Tage Thompson say the he wished Boosh's goal was at home so we could hear his song. These guys know. 25% of his goals are game winners? I'll take it! Look, I went absolutely bat shite over the non-call on Cernak. So much so that my daughter texted out to my wife from her bedroom - "Does Dad kiss his mother on the cheek with that mouth?" Fair enough. Boosh scoring the OT GWG, shorthanded after being on the ice for 1:41... are you kidding? In other threads I commented on why I'm not going to get down on the team...this is why. Yeah.. they got problems.. a few.. but that goal was pretty damn awesome... especially after they gave up 2 goals they shouldn't have. Bring on the Panthers... or something.
