I wanted Caufield. I still can’t believe he fell as much as he did. I’m happy with Cozens. I think Caufield will probably put up better numbers, but Cozens will do much more for us.

We should just sign Landeskog and trade Eichel to the Kings

Love me some Sasha Barkov. Would buy the jersey same day.

Byfield, Turcotte, Bjornfot, and Kaliyev/1st has long been the return I would want and I’m getting closer to wanting said trade to happen.

Yes I think they absolutely would if the circumstances dictated it. But any event that would cause the Yankees not to play at Yankee Stadium would be an event that paused baseball as a whole such as 9/11.

The last decade of Sabres hockey

I just can’t imagine getting their top three prospects, an up-and-coming NHL defenseman, and picks. Maybe we could pull off four assets but it would be difficult.

Kaliyev too. They have plenty of assets to make a deal work. Problem is we will be limited to three at most.

Well hopefully is not from his guy saying Hall is going to Pittsburgh.

Well that’s obvious since it’s a powder

Ive really got to start adding a /s

I was also at that game. Saw a kid from my high school walking around between periods in one.

Hey thanks

RK had his espresso machine. DG has his portable mirror.

Wonder what it would take to add a Matthews level center to the roster next season...

But nobody wants to believe hockey players party

No

Just think about all of the fun TBL moves we can do with LTIR once we’re good though!

So does the director of scouting have hiring and firing privileges over the scouting department? Same question for director of analytics.

I had no idea a deviated septum had such a long recovery time /s

What kind of topsy-turvy world are we living in where the two of you are agreeing with each other?

It depends on if you’re smoking joints and blunts. My understanding is if all things are equal in terms of worse for you it goes blunts, cigarettes, joints.

43.2% of the military are classified as weekly binge drinkers and of those, 70% are classified as heavy drinkers. Having fallen in the latter category for a significant amount of time, I’m comfortable saying this person knows very little about alcoholism. The lifestyle and stress of the military is probably much closer to a professional athlete than whatever the majority of people here do. I am very comfortable making the claims I have made today about drug and alcohol use among NHL players. Especially when you consider that anyone with half a brain knows that cannabis and cocaine are significantly less harmful than alcohol with very few ill effects.

In the three years I played hockey at college 100% of the team had done drugs in the last 30 days, which is how the surveys are measured. Didn’t matter how much roster turnover we had. I asked my little brother how many on his high school team do drugs and he said at least 75%. Having talked to guys having played in the NAHL and lower level juniors, those numbers would hold accurate there as well. Drugs are ingrained in sport culture. And yes, I am including pot. I would guess 10-15% of players above the high school level have done cocaine in the last 30 days as well. I would also imagine very few of them would consider cocaine a hard drug.

I would bet dollars to donuts that 75% of non-married NHL players are getting after it with great regularity. Just like I would bet dollars to donuts on MLB and NFL and NBA players doing the same. Young people do drugs and imbibe. Even more so when you have the disposable income that they do.
