    It really annoys me that the league lets this happen.

    Every fan-base is known for demanding certain things: The Bruins demand physical hockey from their team every year The Rangers demand big name players in their team every year The Canadiens demand French-speaking coaches in their team every year The Sabres demand our top point scorer be traded every year There's always a Lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city.

    Or he just knew what the question asker was actually asking? Occam's razor

    Can I see the link you are referencing/

    He's probably sick of Chicago's night life and girls by now. TBH I don't think it will be just him. I expect Buffalo to get a large influx of mid-twenty year olds in 2015. Rumours are flying around Buffalo, not New York, LA or Chicago, is the place to be in America

    You spend a lot of time on the road. Party in those cities, settle down in Buffalo. Best of both worlds. Plus it's cheap

    This team has too many early 20s players. If we are going to compete it si vital we bring in more teenagers

    Probably knows we aren't in a position to be interested. We have made it clear what we intend to do. Why waste a slot? I think we are the only team who is so openly tanking - florida and edmonton just suck every year, but it isn't through lack of trying

    Payment for No-goal?

    Lots of players do well before Buffalo. Suck here. Then sign a cheap 1 year deal and do ok e.g. Boyes I wouldn't be shocked if the same thing happened again. His agent will blame Buffalo for everything

    Edmonton as well? 9/10
  12. Trettioåtta
    Honestly, I think Buffalo's biggest problems are not its city. Why would a free agent want to sign with a club that is not competing or with a club that won't commit assets to win when it is competing? I agree this would be good for it though - at the very least wouldn't hurt. However, prospects have no choice on where they go (plus we have 7 years to change their first impression). Free agents generally go for the money or at a slight discount for a cup-chance. Neither of which we have really supplied in years

    The upcoming season is the last season Alexi Yashin will be paid by the Islanders - his contract will end 8 years after he left the league
  14. Trettioåtta
    Nope. I'm right with you. Or at least not far behind :P It's just a case of grass is greener. Zad or Risto haven't had to carry a team at the pro level yet, so no-one can see flaws Hell, most people prefer Zad over Risto, despite most scouts thinking Risto is a league or two above Zads

    In my mind the owner is the owner. It is his toy. If wants to screw it up, it is his right. If I was an owner I would sure as hell want to feel I was having an input - e.g. what do you think about signing this player, would they fit in? There is no way in hell i would spend $50 million dollars a year (i.e. net loss of $50 million), just to get a slightly better seat in the arena or shake a few more players hands. Although I wouldn't like it, if the owner did order a GM to sign/trade a player I couldn't complain. He is the one paying these guys. If I don't like the team/attitude I won't pay for stuff - if enough people do it then I'm sure empty arenas and bank accounts is a quick way to get an owner to change their strategy Anything involving money, be it player salaries, gym equipment repair or hot dog prices is a business decision. It may also be a hockey decision - the two aren't mutually exclusive.

    Glad the Swiss won in the end. The disallowed goal was a good goal. Awesome tackle to save the game followed by a quick counter to win
  17. Trettioåtta
    Perfect result for England. Good work Costa Rica
  18. Trettioåtta
    That was pretty
  19. Trettioåtta
    It was a good call. The Spanish player might have slightly provoked the call, but it was a foul

    2010 World Cup final rematch time Football just isn't hockey. I really want to like it more but it just lacks the pace of hockey. Plus sometimes it's nice to watch someone use power to muscle passed an opponent - this just can't happen in football
  21. Trettioåtta
    Agreed. Kopitar was a monster in the first two rounds but has been much quieter in the two finals. I think Doughty will get it. In 2010 Toews got a gold medal, olympic MVP, Conn Smyth and Stanley cup. I believe if Doughty has the chance to match that
  22. Trettioåtta
    Reach the floor and get a higher pick. Perfect. Could we do 39 for 20 and Havlat? Side note: I have just realised Phoenix is now Arizona
  23. Trettioåtta
    I'd make it 10 seconds. How often does one team even keep the puck in the opponents zone for 30 seconds?
  24. Trettioåtta
    The cap will probably be $100 by then anyway. However, he would be retiring at mid-late 30s. That is fine, it isn't like he is signed until he is 45
  25. Trettioåtta
    Might also have something to do with facing the top two teams in scoring rather than the 18th and 21st. Who would have thought Carter was more likely to survive/would do better in LA than Richards? Weird.
