And you claimed to not having anything to contribute. Tsk.

Saw this posted elsewhere: I'd agree.

Never underestimate this. The skill has to be there, no doubt. But so many players with talent lack the level of tenaciousness and determination to make the real difference.

The kind that go like this: "Do we want to bring in Patri" "No." DIscussed. 🙂 Although I am sure there is an aspect of if he's free to choose and wants to show up, maybe.

In talking to some people who live in the area and are naturally fans a few noted items: Canada's COVID policy did not sit well with some players, especially US born. The Arena is a dump and apparently the mayor or some governmental official just reneged on a deal to improve it or something to the like Weather, travel, management. Overall, sounds like a lot of issues. Sorry for not being more specific.. the conversation was a few days ago and I just recall the gist. The people were not surprised, not happy about it, but blame the team more than the player. Now, I am sure others will be all over the player. This is shaping up to be a Grade A mess. The good thing is that it's coming to light and you have to hope that it improves how future events are handled, or better yet, dissuades people from creating situations that lead to these events.

We're going to get a good idea soon. He's a UFA. If the Sabres make him C like everyone expects you have to think they'll have some kind of contract extension already lined up. If he wants to move to a Cup contender at the end of this season (and you know someone will take him) then it's gonna look bad to make him the C of this season. If there's no extension, and he's the C and leaves in UFA.. well it will tell us how much he believes what he just said. That said, I expect he's sticking around.

That's unfortunate.. I guess? I love hockey too much to not watch any hockey, of any kind, at some point. I definitely did not watch as many Sabres games as I have in the past, but I attended more Sabres games in the last season than I ever had in any other season, including seeing them in Nashville. And wow.. does Nashville's entire experience only amplify how bad the Sabres arena and in-game experience are... woof.

Better not watch the Sabres vs. Penguins 🙂

I agree.. but they should know they need to do more to get past the first round.. well, given the NHL's goofy playoff format they might actually make it this year but the second round will be hell. I still don't see them getting to the Finals. Not without more moves..

I want to try and interpret to see if I am any more intelligent than I was in the past. I believe it means that of the shots he faces only 66.6% were actual threats to be goals. Is this because he made a deal with the devil to lower shot quality? Time will tell.

It's definitely looking like a 1 year to win it all in Toronto or the bloodletting begins.

Strome if you want to, Strome around the world? Wherever I may Strome? I think you are onto something.

Thank you. I took a self-imposed year away for many, many reasons. I think I jumped the gun by a few days but today seemed to be a good day to jump back in. I was a royal jerk in my last post on the forum and it was best if I stepped away for me and for the community.

I like this and was hoping it would happen. He has speed and I think has the right character for the team. Those who are expecting big moves by Adams are going to be disappointed. Has has never indicated he wants to go the big splash route and so I am not expecting it.

Well, I didn't address you specifically did i? So why did you think I was talking to you? I made a suggestion... take a breath. I guess making a suggestion is a bad thing. My apologies. I'll make another one, but this time just to you. Go ***** yourself.

At the moment? No. Have I been? Yes. Right now I am watching my son play in the NYS American Legion baseball tournament on YouTube. I jumped in here quick hoping to get some information since I hadn't seen anything on Twitter.

Yes, move on... outside.

This thread is insane. We'll find out the details when we find out. We're in here attacking each other over speculation. Go outside, take a breath. Damn.

Welcome new guy.. who makes more than the leaders now. Obviously Barkov will demand a high salary the next go round. Looks like the Panthers have a ton of contract work to do next year actually.

If Reinhart signs a deal in Florida is it for more than Barkov and Huberdeau? They both are at $5.9M

No. Her face is rounder , her nose. But her speaking, her body motion when she speaks.. not sure.. it just came to me on the last segment; I don’t mean it in any derogatory way. It just seemed like some someone told me they were related I’d be like.. sure, i can see that.

Emily Kaplan. I like her.. but she has some Gary Bettman genetics and mannerisms?

We do both?

Sure. So UPL gets traded. Boom.

Can we get together in a bar next year and watch the draft rather than meeting up at a Sabres game? It might be more fun.
