I... didn't. I just looked to see if their was a soft correlation between size and goodness and there really isn't. Being athletic and able to track plays are the biggest factors.
You universally claiming a big goalie has an advantage is not true. Biron has talked about the bigger holes that get created by being big. Idk why you dislike Levi. Not sure why you have any faith in UPL but size only matters for goalies at extremes.
Upl looks adequate? The guys a sieve and inconsistent as hell.
I would keep Comrie over him even. UPL might be a big guy but plays like a small goalie. Just should top net and you got a good chance on scoring on him.

Next time I will take a pic of that pizza from the vending machine, I would have expected it to be bad, but its better than most still. Gets prepared before in the pizza place and comes out heated or cold.

Pommer and Samson.
Pommer because the tank really started and I hated to see all those guys get traded.
Samson, I always liked his playing style, and if you want a good net front presence he is underrated.

If you can get over to Fort Worth, check out Buffalo Bros. There is a location in downtown Fort Worth and one near TCU. The guy who runs them is from Kenmore. If you're in town Monday that would be a good day because Buffalo Bros. has half off all their pizzas including whole pies and slices (excludes only pizza-wing combos). If you do decide to go Monday for dinner let me know; maybe I can meet up with you.
The Duff's in Southlake is... okay, but it's set in a strip mall and just doesn't have a Buffalo vibe. The wings are okay though.
PIzza from Buffalo Bros.
Never been a fan of the thick crust style. But not a lot of good pizza places around here either.
Pizza hut / Boston pizza / Kebab and pizza places / We got one and those they sell from a vending machine nearby beats all of those.

I am tired of hearing that Steve Y did it again, building a contender..like Tamp Bay.
He made similar moves last year and looked where they ended up. I believe KA will get there before SY.
He changed a 20 goal score for a 30 goal scorer that is worse in defense.

This is spot on.
I lived in the Czech Republic for two years from 1990-92 just after the collapse of the Eastern bloc (also traveled to Ukraine while there - while it was still under the Soviet Union. The ppl we met hated Russian oppression). Russia was horribly oppressive. Ruined the Czech country. It was like traveling back 60 years when I arrived and many people were psychologically ruined. One of my best friends there had parents born in the 1930s and he noted that 60 years of their life was ruined. It’s easy, living so far removed from such oppressive regimes, to think Hasek too extreme. But when you see remnants of it up front one becomes far more empathetic. Just look at how most of the eastern euros (Poland; Latvia; etc) see it. They know.
While I am okay with some of these athletes participating, I also get why Hasek is so outspoken. He knows the evil.
At the same time, most of the Russian athletes have family living under a threat if they speak out so I understand why they would not. It’s just a terrible situation for all brought on through no fault of their own; but by a deranged tyrant.
Just this, People in Western-Europe and USA/Canada don't get how deep the anti-Russian sentiment is over there.
Poland/baltic states / Romania ( though not owned by Russia was still a puppet state )/ Moldavia/Czech republic/ Slowakia / Finland. And maybe surprising but Belarus too, A lot of people there hate Russia, they have a lot fighting for Ukraine and sabotaged the Russian Advancement first week of the war.
The people in those countries are itching to go and fight in Ukraine and help out, and many already do. I can see NATO/EU even splitting between an Eastern and Western block if this keeps going.
The only eastern countries with some sympathy towards Russia are Turkey, Serbia and Bulgaria ( mostly the politicians besides the president who has delivered a lot of bullets to Urkaine).

Yes.
No extension.
'24 1st, UPL or Comrie and one of Rosen, Östlund or Savoie.
High enough price imo for a one year rental but I'd pay it.
Contract motivated goalie meets hungry Sabres team and makes history (Stanley Cup Victory) before riding off to a another team on a huge contract and becoming an average goaltender for the rest of his career.
Östlund and Savoi are off limits without an extention, and its Rosen and a goalie and not adding our 1st.
Also the extension will be too rich for a goalie, how can you tell Tage and DC, that you signed them to only 7 mill a year, but your goalie makes 9mil ?

If you up the offer beyond 4.29, we'd owe Boston a 1st and 3rd.
$2,145,062 - $4,290,125
1 Second Round Pick , so 4.290 it is 🙂

2 years, whatever the 2nd round pick offer sheet compensation is
I think you can get him for 5 mill for a 2nd rounder easy. And Boston won't be able to match.
-
Tarasenko apparently switched agents, guess he is not happy about he offers he is getting.
Sabres should see what is there , but I have a feeling Kane will be a December addition to the team.

I like how these kids are surrounded by former players.

I’m sure it’s in another thread but worth noting….here
Also the thing you have to say to keep price down if you are being offered a goalie like Gibson.

I think they plan on being a playoff team this year.
Besides compher/kostin, i don't like any of those signings. This would piss me off too, its like we will try to make the playoffs but we can turn most of these guys into trade deadline rentals.

I asked this in the Benson thread and I’ll ask it again: would any of those who were advocating to trade #13 for Helle now trade Benson for Helle?
I’m assuming the answer is no, but if not please correct me.
At this point, is anyone on board with trading any of the following for Helle (and I think an extension would almost certainly not be part of the deal):
Kulich
Savoie
Rosen
Östlund
JJP
2024 #1
Of the assets on this list, I would only trade the 2024 #1 for Helle, and I’m not sure KA would trade any of them.
Maybe Östlund too, but I think he is going to be better than Savoie for us even.

Samuelsson - Dahlin
Power - Clifton

Jokiharju
Is that enough improvement on D? I’d imagine Bryson is gone and I picked Jokiharju for durability reasons over Bush but that’s anecdotal and could be wrong
Looks to me like a modestly improved unit
He should be a number 8 - don't get why we signed him. Rather see Joker play.

Any interest in the following UFA's who were not qualified?
Fischer, McCloud, Puljujarvi, Comtois, White, Benoit, or Foote?
McCloud would make a decent 4C / Not really sure about Foote but he won't do much for our top 4 so.

He's slightly above JAG level when healthy. Might not be a bad bottom pairing option for cheap, but I think he's expected to be out until January. He'd be an upgrade over guys like Bryson/Clague/Pilut.
If you sign a RD to play with power, that is jokers spot as 5D.

This league sucks. These losers just spent 48 hours together in the same building and did almost nothing
To many potential good players in the first and second rounds, GM's just wanted to keep their picks. That and some trades happened way before the draft.

Inconsistency is what you'd expect for a 4th rounder. In a couple years, when Murray has moved on and Nadeau is established -- it'll be good to bring in the next mammoth guy in Rochester and see what he can do.
Miedema is a good Star Warsy name. I hope he makes it.
Probably dutch heritage looking at that name. Northern netherlands.

OT: Is it time for a new pizza thread?
in The Aud Club
Posted
Loved that show, but seriously, that pizza vending machine gets filled everyday - Doubt any pizza lasts longer than 2 days in there, its popular around here, especially when working nights and nothing is open 🙂
