    I'd much prefer a 3-year deal, but if this is what's needed to get it done, I think they have to do it.

    Goalies are weird so he could regress and flame out. I don’t think that will be the case here. He is still on an upward trajectory imo but he may get passed by Levi, which makes that a lot of $ for a backup.

    I think Stephenson would look good as a Third Line Centerman in the Swords uni. He's got great speed and good at faceoffs too.

    Winning two Cups with two different teams brings something too.

    They are tied with Vancouver at "three years behind" the Loaves. Great thing about that stat, it will likely remain at three years until the Sabres win a cup, lol

    Expansion partner Vancouver had a great season by changing coaches. Maybe the Sabres follow suit. A few personnel tweaks wouldn’t hurt either.

    3-0 and the Stars choke that lead away. 

    Also, I have less than zero care about what team wins out of Canes-Rags. It's really good hockey and Carolina looks to actually be the better team. Shesterkin in a monster. But, I cannot get over that call in OT that ended it that way. Let the boys Duke it out and only call what's necessary. 

    Also Carolina had a PP that looked like the Sabres, all perimeter passing and no shots 

    I was surprised by the penalties in OT.

    Sabres killer Aho wasn’t asserting himself on the PP.

    Shesterkin is what Levi can still become.

    Colorado looks great. 

    4 straight goals after falling behind 3-0.

    I am pulling for them, not because of Mitts, MacKinnon is my favourite non Sabres player. The way he gallops around like a fire hydrant on skates just gets me out of my seat.

    Nichushkin is a beast. He has become what his draft potential claimed he could be.

    It’s been quiet on the Landeskog front, there was a chance he could come back. Drouin would help a bit too.

    Thought this was funny.

    It would be crazy if the Sabres had enough talent to make the playoffs without one of their top guys.

    Stone may have a bad enough back to do this for a few years before retiring.

    A guy like Mike Bossy could have lasted a few more years in this era.

  7. Yakemchuk is an area of need (RHD) that may line up as #11.

    I doubt Lindstrom falls that far but he’s the guy I want besides Celebrini.

    Iginla, Helenius, Catton and Yaremchuk seem like probable candidates. 

     

  8. Canada just added Brandon Hagel, Nick Paul and Pierre-Luc Dubois. I am surprised at Dubois. He may lose his love of Canada over there and demand a trade to Norway.

    They sent Adam Fantilli and Macklin Celebrini home. Too bad about Celebrini, I wanted to watch him at this level.

  9. In a pre tournament tune up, Canada beat Austria 5-2. Cozens and Power get a goal.

    Cozens had success at this tournament a couple of years ago  preceding his breakout year. Maybe he gets his mojo back.

  10. I think UPL has earned the starter’s job.

    Levi should not be guaranteed the backup job but KA probably doesn’t get a “blocker”.

    If UPL struggles then Levi could challenge for more starts. There is nothing wrong with a 1A 1B scenario, I think competition pushes both to be better.

    You're right about the media but it's not just hockey. There's a general media focus on Toronto for everything in Canada. Doesn't help that the CBC is located there. 

    and the rest of the country subsequently has some degree of dislike (or even hatred of Toronto) because of that.

     

    I’ve had two BC people say you’re from Onterrible to me lately. I had never heard that term, probably because I live here. Both had only been to Toronto and had never seen the rest of the province.

    Ehlers has a 10 Team M-NTC, the Kings need a retool as well. 
     

    Could the most famous Sabre Player in History convince another Victoriaville Native to waive His 10 Team M-NTC to come to Buffalo 

    3 seasons of Phillip Danault at 5.5 million AAV as the the third line center would be perfect 

     

    He is the type that fits 3C perfectly. He could win a few draws for Lindy.

    LAK may want to move Byfield to C and they have Dubois signed long term so he may be available.
