Jay Feaster's team likes to pick random people - like when they took Jankowski last eyar

Erne said he would like to play for Buffalo with Grigo

Welcome Miller and Vanek. Welcome. They were probably two of the best players available today, so i'm glad our gm went out and got them Erne or Fucale it will be

What's happened to the NHL? So few trades happen it seems

Another guy i wanted gone. Erne or Fucale for Sabres now

Why are so many people dead?

Looks like Miller and Vanek will be on the Sabres come september. Most likely with one year left on their contracts. ###### you Darcy.

Fucale or Erne at 16 - my prediction When it says "pick is in" in the bottom left, does that mean that team is definitely picking?

Luongo is the goalie of the couvers

From 21? Weird.

I really hope every team doesn't thank NJ and congratulate CHI, I just don't care and takes so long

I agree. Unless the Sabres know something significant that the public doesn't. I think it way too early I love the Columbus GM's voice. It is like silky gravel

One decent year for $6 million a year is a lot.

How do they even have cap room to offer him that? His time with the Pens appears to be coming to an end

I just found this. Man you have to think the team gave him some stick for it. Hilarious though

Interesting word choice for UFAs :P

Selling high. Perfect time. They will get quite the haul for him

I think it is the fact you have a wider audience from the start, so more people to ask their parents to play. Also hockey needs hockey sticks, which break etc. But yeah, i agree with your point that football is not a cheap sport either. I also think another clue to the socioeconomic backgrounds are the number of black athletes. Black families are generally worse off than white families and hockey has very few black players, whereas football has a lot (although the QB is often white, which is odd)

I have played American football without pads or safety equipment. In fact i have never played it with safety equipment (bar a gum shield). All you need is a field and a ball, so although not true football (sneaky pun), it works. I have played 'hockey' just once, and that was with no equipment again (with rules such as pushing but not hitting), and even that was more expensive as i had to pay for the ice saktes, pay for the ice rink time etc.

I think the fact he was speeding at like 100mph has more to do with the crash than his sobriety. If i remember correctly, i read the book on it ages ago, he took a corner too fast?

There is only one Vinny. This crop of UFA is still very thing, Vanek will not be challenging to trade

I think this is due to the fact it is so expensive to play, so mostly middle class kids play it. This will be an oversimplification, and could be completely wrong, but this is my theory

I think Holmgren was telling the truth about Bryz not getting bought out. Then something changed (perhaps trade talks, maybe even Miller). So then they decided to buy him out

I think it was that you can't trade a player to be bought out to then resign them at a cheaper contract
