I've read every post since May 10th (the inception date?) hoping to come away with some insight as to who the Sabres have a good chance at drafting. The only thing I know for certain is that this is going to be one wild and crazy draft. The top 5 aren't even a sure thing. The mood swings come next week will be awesome to read.

That is a very team friendly contract.

Leaf fans are the most annoying. Ranger fans are the biggest butt-holes. My reasoning is, one gives you a headache the other you just really want to punch.

Accountants did this, specifically payroll accountants. Because accountants matter.

I remember talking about it with at least Liger. Kisakov lead to a discussion if part of a scout's job description included interviewing other family members and reporting back their findings as to assumed heights and weights to help judge future growth of an 18 year old. It was agreed that was a part of their job.

I always heard it was mafia city.

"Cataractes" is the plural form of "cataracte", which means in English 'cataract' in the sense of a powerful waterfall, derived from the Latin word "cataracta" meaning 'waterfall' or 'portcullis'. The team is named after the Shawinigan Falls, a prominent waterfall in the city of Shawinigan Had to post this. I had no clue what the team name meant. https://chlmemorialcup.ca/gamecentre/533/boxscore Nadeau likes to be in close to the net and appears very crafty/sly staying around it without taking a beating.. Great way to make a living in the NHL.

You're absolutely right about me not giving up my day job. A vailed tip of the hat to you for the correct veil and some Audrey Hepburn, even if she is smoking.

But what is white a drips like that?

It was thinly vailed attempt at some chunky soup humor, served in a big (really big) silver cup with a lid. The lid keeps it hot.

GMs and Owners know their game plans and history and feel that they are or aren't the right fit for the team they have assembled and hire accordingly. Bringing in new blood is inherently a higher risk.

Do we want low quality UFAs and let our *good kids* play in Rochester? Isn't that what this all boils down to? Play the cap game or pay over priced Jags? It's just a really smart move by a GM that can easily be called cheap.

There are very few high quality UFA players willing to sign 1 or 2 year deals so that means the Sabres have to get to the cap floor in other ways. I'm not sure how that is being confused with being cheap, but you are right, it is.

Sounds like the best captain a team could have.

The winner of the Western Conference wins his trophy very year... so like .. yah that's him.

A big mistake was the last captain. Kyle has EARNED it. No-one else on the team has earned it yet.

#22 Mavrik Bourque, #98 Xavier Bourgault From that 3 minute high-light clip these two had a very good game.

It wouldn't be a surprise, I think many have assumed for some time this was coming. He deservers it. The coach and gm of the Sabres giving it to the true leader of the team and the most deserving player should not be surprising either. What is surprising is that we are really starting to become a well run franchise.

Didn't watch the game and didn't realize they were referring to the same play.

I'm unable to read the sweater names, who's the player that made the one handed pass to Nadeau? I like him a lot.

Again, you assume that Adams did not match Boston's offer and it's all Adam's fault that he did not sign. Ulmark was free to make a decision to go where he wanted. He chose Boston. He never said that. It was never said that Adams needed to offer a richer contract and he would sign. You are assuming that.

You keep saying that Ulmark would sign if Adams matched Boston, yet nothing I have read said this is true.
