Levi should take care of that, IMHO. He was already a far better option than anything we had before him. Sabres would have made the playoffs by at least 10 points last year if he was our full time goalie from the start of the season.

With so many young players the majority of the improvement should be expected to come from them gaining experience and improving...sort of like what happened with Tage and Cozens and Dahlin...can expect that next season with Power and Peterka and I would have said Quinn but unsure how the injury will impact him this year...Peterka was named the best forward at the World's this year..that is no small feat. Filling in around them is what he should be doing not looking to bring big ticket players in unless there is a major need that he doesn't have covered

We just watched Murray try this and fall flat on his face which led to needing another rebuild since all the prospects were gone and he had nothing left in the cupboards... Fair enough and he has the talent coming up where he doesn't feel the need to.

Signing Clifton will be a large upgrade no matter how you slice it. That alone means we improved. When the team is so young, much of the improvement should be expected to come internally. Add to that he STILL has the #1 ranked prospect pool even tho a ridiculous number of young players were removed from it the last few years as they began playing regularly for the Sabres and he has every reason to stand pat.

I don't necessarily agree with this. I think he stands pat because years of empirical data show that most free agent signings are not good value for the money and the teams would probably have been better drafting and developing and signing lower priced FAs to fill roles. When you just promoted 6-7 very highly rated prospects to your NHL roster and you STILL have the #1 rated prospect pool in the NHL why wouldn't you stick to what you are doing?

Thought he would get more than that...Sens seem intent on making splashes with the new ownership group in charge...

He is a 30 goal scorer now...both years with Florida he has over 30

I would contact an attorney since these companies are willfully violating Labor Laws and the Age Discrimination Employment Act(ADEA)

Just be happy you aren't in India where some areas get 15-25 inches of rain a day during this time of year and it's normal and happens every year.

Usually but not always. The North Atlantic Oscillation(NAO), for instance can be a better predictor of this for us many times or at least is a very important factor in determining this, along with some others.

If there is one thing you cannot do as a professional athlete, it's go full psycho. You can get away with being part psycho...ask Antonio Brown, but not full psycho.

The American Southwest is going to be on the very limit of being habitable by humans in the summer within 50 years of things continue as they are. This year it's almost alarming at the type of heat records that have started early in the year and have continued unabated. So many regions/countries have set all time heat records going back to Asia(India, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam) in March/April and continuing now with the American Southwest, Florida, China and Europe... Even for the models that have bands that would be considered "normal" due to climate change for temps to be within now, they have gone so far above them even climate change experts are alarmed since this shouldn't be happening. Sadly this is becoming the norm now rather than the exception.

Definitely not a heat cycle...the earth just broke all time temperature records 3 straight days and apparently it was the hottest it's been in at least 100,000 years.

Don't have a pizza oven but we make pizza at home quite a bit... Got some real wheat flour(Einkorn wheat, the type that has been grown for 12000 years not the GMO Frankenwheat that you find in stores) and it was the best crust I have ever had anywhere...amazing...soft, with just enough crunch on the outside and chewy in the middle...highly recommend trying it.

After eating pizza in other places I totally understand why people who move away from WNY literally pay money for places here to ship them pizza. Most places are terrible... The best pizza in a random place I ever had was actually really good tho...stopped in this little Nebraska town just over the border from Kansas that looked like the town that time forgot...saw there was a pizza place so I stopped in and tried it...some of the best pizza I ever have eaten...crust was perfection, toppings were great...got to talking to the person working there and she said the owner moved there from NYC...

Andreychuk and Turgeon

Says to have so many young highly skilled players already in the NHL and still have the number 1 ranked prospect pool should be terrifying for the rest of the NHL. https://sports.yahoo.com/ranking-nhl-best-and-worst-prospect-pools-sabres-red-wings-canadiens-blackhawks-devils-120025136.html Here's how the top half of our NHL prospect pool rankings shake out.

I believe some teams are shared with 2 NHL teams supplying half of the roster each

I don't want no Oscar Meyer Weiner...I love the pick of the Funky Cold Miedema...

Seems like a desperate salary dump by new owners who likely need to trim payroll after using all their free cash flow to buy the team

That's fair but he has been among the 5 worst goalies in the NHL over the past 3 years so I find it hard to believe someone is going to want that contract unless Anaheim literally pays them to take it with extra draft picks.

I mean, now even guys that are terrible for several years are demanding trades as if they are a hot commodity?? What the hell does he think Anaheim is going to get for him and another team taking on that albatross of a contract, a bag of pucks? A few sticks?

Maybe because they have historically great draft classes?

No.

I mean, considering Adams has locked up our stars for pennies on the dollar in comparison to what other teams are paying theirs, I think we can afford an extra 800K or whatever on this deal.
