They are softer only because they have a better moisturizer routine than you. Treat your skin right and soon you too can have healthy skin as well.

It wouldn’t surprise me. Last I saw he was a little bit behind the top three. I would hate to be the one to have to pull the trigger at 1, but I think if you’re going D, he’s the way to go. If they view a few d similarly then they should look to trade back as well.

If we want a dman trade back to five and take Hughes. He’ll be the best dman from the draft in five years anyway.

If we still had GMTM we would have been in the playoffs three years ago, if not sooner.

Those buttons really bother me. Why isn’t the one on the top right?

We’ve barely been good enough for any active player to have that kind of animosity for me. Give me Yashin, Kasparitis, Chris Simon, or Chris Neil any day.

If I owned a professional sports team I would like to be notified prior to any of my major front office personnel being hired and fired. Signing off should be as simple as: KA: Hey Terry/Kim, I need to hire/fire X Terry/Kim: Okay, I understand

I thought Mair coached the taxi squad and was listed as development or skills coach.

Are him and Mair promoted to assistant coaches or will they retain their role as dev coach and move behind the bench to assist with games?

Haven’t heard his name in a while. Has he always been on the staff?

This is the most exciting news about the Sabres since the last time we made a personnel change!

Hopefully he’s allowed to shoot Steve Smith into the atmosphere

Wooooo! Granato behind the bench as interim.

That’s a weak-ass penalty.

Little league! We’ve had practice twice a week at 7:30 every week so I’ve already missed five games since the start.

Long Island, New Jersey...what’s the difference?

You lost me at the start of the second paragraph

Lake Street Drive is awesome!

Sabres take lead, Sabres blow lead, Sabres wheels fall off, Sabres lose 4-2 Islanders after being up two in the first.

Those post games were brutal.

Pretty sure our last Olympic forward was Hecht so that doesn’t surprise me.

I think there is just too much inexperience in this lineup and not enough change. I get the ideas you are going for, but I don't think any player we draft this season will get more than a cup of coffee and I would like to see Quinn develop a bit more in Rochester. We have been giving away roster spots for ten years when they need to be earned. It is a bit comforting that there seems to be a bit of a consensus that our D is in somewhat decent shape.

Glad I'm not the only one out here writing novels. Savard was someone that I considered, but I don't have a ton of faith in our ability to read the market and I don't know that his health and play are what they once were. As far as McCabe is concerned, while I would like to have him back, he obviously comes with some risk associated with him, and any plans to include signing him should also involve bringing in a 7th D who is able to log third pairing minutes without concern. I like Samuelsson, or the idea of Samuelsson, but I don't want to see him up here if he isn't going to step in and play. We have seen that enough times where we have guys who should be developing riding pine or viewing from the pressbox and regardless of what Kruger says, I don't think that is best for development. I think Laughton should definitely be targeted this offseason, we need to bring in either him or Coleman. I think Laughton might come a bit cheaper and provide the same value so that may be the better signing. While I used to like Pearson, I am skeptical of signing him. I would be very pleased if we were able to get Hertle to come in, but I fear that we aren't going to have a true 2C until Cozens is ready to take that mantle. I don't believe he will be there next season, but he should probably see 30 or so games there anyway to learn the position. I think you are probably right in that Lazar is much better suited for the 13th forward position, but I hate the idea of signing more 4th liners since our recent record leaves a lot to be desired. Comparing our two posts, it looks like we are more or less on the same page. A few different players here or there, but our overall assessment of the roster seems pretty in-line with one another. Regardless, there is a lot of work to be done. I also like the way you broke down the roster--looks familiar!

Let’s just say he’s got a very big magnet

You’ve got to respect the DD before the purchase. No wonder the Pegulas are so certain they’re smarter than the fans.
