Looking for some more nominations for the third spot. I'll update when I wake up tomorrow.

So this might be an interesting exercise if anybody else is willing to get in on it. The Leafs did their top 100 because this year is their centennial season. The Sabres will cross the 50-year mark in 2020. So let's do what we did for the best players in the NHL, but this will, instead, be for the Sabres best 50 players of all time. This is ONLY players who played for the Sabres in their time with the team. Regardless, let's kick it off a number one. I don't believe there's any argument for a player other than Hasek or Perreault so they get the first poll. Whoever loses this poll by the end of the day will move in to the number two slot and we'll take nominations for the third-best player (you can nominate at any time. I'll add players who get multiple nominations to the next poll). 1. Dominik Hasek 2. Gilbert Perreault 3. Pat LaFontaine 4. Rick Martin 5. Alexander Mogilny 6. Phil Housley 7. Danny Gare 8. Mike Ramsey 9. Dave Andreychuk 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50.

Former Bill Quentin Groves died of a heart attack. He was with the Bills in camp. Former second rounder for the Jags.

Who is Kyle Okposo anyways? :p Since I know Reinhart isn't moving to center and they had Okposo working on his off wing with that line: Okposo - O'Reilly - Reinhart Ennis - Girgensons - Fasching Foligno - Larsson - Baptiste Moulson - Grant - Gionta That's my rough guess for the lineup. If I was in charge: Ennis - O'Reilly - Okposo Moulson - Reinhart - Baptiste Foligno - Girgensons - Fasching Grant - Larsson - Gionta

Naw. Those teams were, too. But we're fans so we saw every ounce of it. Who gives a how it's done anyways? They tanked.

Kris Baker @SabresProspects now Cliff Pu scores to put London ahead 3-0 on Windsor. Pu has goals in four of his first five games. #Sabres

https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/787088433072246784 Subban scores in his first game with the Preds. Great celly, too.

Because I've got a bunch of things I'm taking care of financially for the next few months. I spent carelessly (without touching a penny of the money I have set for savings) this year for the betterment of myself (boy has it worked), so I'm capping a few things off and then getting stuff around starting day one next year.

I am. Technically. I have a savings account at my bank that I've put money into but haven't touched. I'm going to sit down with somebody in the new year and allocate that money to something that'll actually do things.

I'm 24. I've seen this in movies. For me and many others my age this is only found in movies about olden times. What the .

Wow, I can't believe there's a player worse than Risto in this league

This is exaggerated but close to the truth. It'd be nice if Girgensons and/or Foligno and a 2nd would get it done, but it probably won't. I'm not willing to give my 2017 first.

It's going to hurt a little unless we can miraculously get him for Girgensons and a 2nd. That wouldn't hurt at all. Problem is we're already very thin at forward so we might have to then make a move for a forward. Waiver wire? Who is still available?

McKenzie says not long after ANA signs Lindholm, Cam Fowler will probably be heading east. Buffalo. Boston. https://soundcloud.com/tsn-radio-vancouver/bob-mckenzie-joins-the-midday-show#t=5:20 Says he thought Buffalo and Anaheim had a deal in place at the draft. Thinks Fowler will be traded to a team in the East soon.

The actual content of the emails was a discussion about how conservative Catholics employ their own version of Catholicism that uses the Bible as a means to oppress. I could see why Catholics would be a little upset over what was said but it's no huge travesty.

There certainly exists no middle ground, right?

Anybody working in the financial field in Buffalo that might be able to help a friend get a job here? He's got nearly two years of experience working as an accountant at a firm. Looking for financial analyst or similar positions.

You leave Doris Day out of this

Almost forgot about this point and it's an important one. This is why I'm still happy we have a GM who will make this move. Purely in assets swapped we lost, it doesn't matter who the board wanted gone because we're not the GM and we're not paid to make the right move. Myers and Stafford have both played well in Winnpeg (yes, I know Stafford was gone regardless and neither were doing much here). Armia is growing. Then there's Lemieux and the pick. Asset to asset it's a negative if you can take off your Sabres glasses for a minute. But the actual end result (securing Eichel) could fairly show it as a wash.

I don't think it's unfair to say this trade was a very bad one. A risk I'm happy our GM took, but it looks bad right about now.

Very few teams trace their first. There is literally no reason to think, at this point, that the team won't have a first. And if they don't have a first they'll have a second. And/or third. And so on.

I didn't notice a whole lot in Nelson tonight. I did notice Risto. In a very negative light.

Why is that unbelievable? It's known that he's playing injured.

People, there is a draft in 2017 no matter how we do. We will be making a selection regardless of whether it is high lottery or not. I know it was started partially as a joke about the team but this thread is good. You can learn about prospects.

We could acquire Fowler before and after Kane. It's harder after Kane (as beerme notes).
