That’s what we all say. Love the pun.

Didn’t you just answer your own question?

They’re afraid they might break him. Sort of like grandma’s China.

We need to become a better 3rd period team.

GMTM would be scrambling for the phone at this point.

The Wall of Toke

I would be looking to move him for a RHD of similar prospect level now. He’s not a sure thing, so would not be irresponsible by trading him. But, will be better asset control. We need more RHD prospects and also can’t afford to lose him for nothing. I’m sure there’s a GM out there will an abundance of RHD and little RHD that would listen. I would do this before trading Bryson.

Of course. Should’ve been more clear for the concrete thinkers. They are playing a game that is sold to spectators to watch. These injuries are a direct result of said game. Spectators should have an idea of their work-related injuries.

Yeah, we’ll that’s really *****. We would expect that once they are fully healed, then these are not targetable.

I really don’t like the NHL’s handling of injuries. I get it, privacy. But, these players aren’t exactly private citizens. It would be nice to know exactly what injuries they have and how long they will be out.

If I were Arizona, I’d try to swing a trade to get Hall. They need their charm back.

And the irony is our goaltending is much better than last year.

Imagine: Donny Meatballs sitting in the corner of a dark room with Dylan, casually smoking a cigar, sunglasses on. He stops the film projector, “Dylan, my son, are you ready for McJesus?”

I loved Quinn’s celebration. Must be a Bills fan.

If we were tanking, we would’ve re-signed Hutton for 1/0.75. A true tank has a blind man in net.

Oh, mcJesus…jerk, jerk, jerk. Oh, mcJesus…jerk, jerk, jerk.

Hatty next!

Aside from all the EDM PPs, they are looking good this period.

Beautiful!

I really appreciate these posts.

I think Terry would’ve supported Jack getting the ADR surgery if Jack was to be a significant player in the future success of the Sabres. Meaning, he had no attitude issues, was a key leader of the Sabres, wanted to be here and have the team succeed. And most importantly, wasn’t pining to be traded. Think McDavid with the Oilers. Jack failed in all these criteria. So, why would Terry stick his neck out? It would be akin to sticking his neck out for a player on another team.

I don’t think they lowballed him - the Bruin’s offer really wasn’t that much more, but the term was. They planned on re-signing him. They were confident enough that they didn’t unload him at the deadline. I just think it’s unlikely that both parties didn’t speak numbers prior to the deadline. However, once Ulmark saw what Boston suddenly came up with, he suddenly experienced a financial epiphany. The Sabres weren’t going to budge though. Linus probably should’ve been more transparent: “I’m 100% going to test the market”. But, who knows what actually happened.

I actually think the Sabres believed they would/could re-sign Ulmark, thus didn’t trade him. Maybe he gave off an attitude this was indeed possible or even likely. However, once Linus saw the money involved, he bolted. Lesson learned: have the deal signed before the deadline or ship out. Pinky Promises don’t mean anything.
