    Once it became clear that Ennis was protected because Minnesota wanted him as part of the Scandella trade, the anger evaporated, as the move then made a lot more sense.

    But that was with the gift of hindsight. At the time we were eager to feel our anger and use it.

    Looking ahead, as a Seattle-area person I'm excited to get a local team and to pillage other rosters. I'm also excited that JBott is going to have a protected young core and then likely a bunch of folks on one-year deals. If we swing a trade to keep a certain someone, that's good too.

    The Panthers left Jon Marchessault (who had just scored 30 goals for them) exposed to Vegas so they could protect Petrovic. 

    Marchessault has put up 52 goals and 134 points in the 2 seasons since for Vegas. They also traded Reilly Smith to the Knights for a 4th since they couldn't protect him either because they went the 4-4 route solely for Petrovic. Smith has 41 goals and 113 points since.

    The Panthers have been known to make mistakes. From time to time. Dear, oh dear.

    Yupppp. 

    Remember when ppl got upset we lost Carrier? 

    I'm one of those. I wanted to expose Ennis over Carrier. Still glad we protected Ullmark.

    Ain't gonna lie. This post helps. It always helps.

    Greetings 'Spacers from the Costa Rica system! There's now a Mrs. D'Ebriate. I won't be watching or listening or commenting for the first few games of the season on account of this (that's not a) honeymoon, it's a honeystation....   But before heading out into this tropical downpour to get silly on chili guaros and pina coladas before inhaling some flippin' fantastic grub... Meesa maxibig the Sabres! Let's go Buffalo! (as always, you provide the handclaps in your mind).

  15. Victor Olofsson: How good can he be?

    Reino's passes will find his stick, and we shall cry Goalofsson many times. 12 goals on primary assists from Reinhart alone. That's right -- VO and Reino will rule the galaxy as father winger and winger. I think Olofsson nets anywhere from 24-40 this year depending on health and Skinner's productivity.

    If Skinner-MoJo-whomever can be an effective line, then VO-Eichel-Reinhart will be excellent. Jack creates the space, Victor finds the seams, and Samson threads the needles.

    If we need Skinner-Eichel together to keep Skinner at a 30-ish pace, then VO goes down to the lower end of the spectrum, but Reino will find him anyway (PP or Reino also to the 2nd to balance the attack). Reino wants his assists, not excuses.

    It's true and it really saddens me. I like okposo

    We all like Okposo. Well, most people like Okposo. By all counts he's a good player and a good person. He battles endlessly and defends his teammates (it still scares me whenever he grapples because of the concussion history). He's what you want. But professional sports are games of replacement and when you lose your step, you have to be very crafty to keep going. And when you lose multiple steps... craftiness won't hide you. If he's not game speed, he's got to move on (or be moved on from). It'll happen to us all... except those of us in survival suits who have lots of fake limbs and a Brand that won't let us stay at rest from a previous trilogy.

    Taro's right. Like, it's not the greatest disaster to ever strike an NHL roster. It's not playing Matt D'Agostini at 2C, or Erik Burgdoerfer (was that real or a fever dream?) in the top 6.

    I promise you you won't die in childbirth! It wasn't a fever dream.

    But it also wasn't a planned fever dream either. This is an actual 12/5/2016 defense pairing lineup: McCabe - Risto / Guhle - Franson / Falk - Burgdoerfer.

    However, the following Sabres were out: Bogosian, Kulikov, Gorges, Fedun. So, it's not like the Burg was slotted top 6 to start the year.

    Dishbag - Eichel - Skinner

    Olofsson - Johansson - Reinhart

    I do like GOloffson and Reino together. And Skinner seems to need Eichel more than being able to drive his own line (thus not Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart / Skinner-Johansson-Vesey).

    to append to that:

    Girgensons - Larsson - Lazar as the 4th?

    But we currently skating the Olofsson-Asplund-Johansson line in the pre-season games.

    Has anyone ever seen a little known Star Wars Danny Kaye film...  "Wonderful! Wondeful! Spec-u-lation!"
