Thwomp!

Love you guys lining up to be the last loyal rat as the ship goes under. There is no benefit of the doubt anymore with this franchise. It's garbage. But you go ahead and keep waving your pom poms for Terry.

So take the 3rd. We should not be getting rid of useful, gritty players for less than nothing. We have so few to begin with. But hey, we love our college kids around here.

Not acceptable at all. Definitely inevitable. The Pegulas and their ***** show. They somehow make it more and more difficult to care each day. There is no bottom.

Woke up early today to see this trade. Great job Sabres 😒

Wow. That's ugly.

I'd like to see a veteran coach in here. I can see Terry being enamored with Granato though, for several reasons.

Shadow refs that we didn't know existed. Only the Bills can summon shadow refs....

What's his TRpm? 😉 I'm for signing Linus to anything $5 million and under per. More than that, and I'm wondering what Merzlikins would cost from a rebuilding Blue Jackets team.

I love ***** like Detroit did in the Savard deal. Got a 4th round pick for a quarter of his salary. I wish the Sabres were more creative and were involved in deals like this.

Thank goodness the guy in charge of pro scouting was fired. He definitely didn't get a promotion and is still running things. I was worried there for a second.

Time to look at the premium upgrade catalogue again then.

And one for Inky. It is Friday:

I mean, sure, if anyone was running an NHL team based on TRpm. We'd have a team full of Eakins. Sounds wonderful.

Time to look at the Yacht market. Meanwhile, there's this hockey team that's a huge ***** mess, but congrats Terry!

We're stuck with Eakin. No one is taking him with another year left on his contract. We should have just kept Larsson, who signed for less.

These makes Dunleavy even more unbearable. I miss Rick in his glory days badly. And I'm taking current Rick over Dunleavy any day as well.

Thanks! Great idea. I'll be a subscriber to this thread for sure.

I like Jack Eichel the hockey player well enough. I'm not sure about Eichel the captain.

Arm will hurt overnight and tomorrow. Much more than a regular shot. At least that's been my 24 hour experience.

So sad that we have to ask that question.

Eichel's play at times leaves a lot to be desired. He can be as disinterested as anyone, including Hall. I'm just not sure he has the fiery competitiveness I think we need in a captain to attempt to right this ship. That's on him, not the team he's surrounded with.

Even if the Bills are treading water and are about the same, I feel that KC may have gotten slightly worse this offseason. They blew up their offensive line, so that's going to be a question mark for them, especially.

I think it still remains to be seen. There's still a lot of good players left out there unsigned. I'm guessing they're value shopping at this point for good players especially in areas of need. I really liked the Adams signing. He's going to be a contributor and I'm sure he didn't cost much. Now that the spending money around the league is pretty much gone, I think the Bills will pick up some more good players for good prices as guys take lesser deals with teams that look like contenders. And the Bills are finally contenders and can compete for those players.

The "all reds" in the flurries and night game against Pittsburgh during the holiday season were absolutely perfect.
