Skinner, Hanifin, 2nd round pick for ROR & Bailey/Girgensons, anything less than that is a no no in my book. You then have Risto-Dahlin-Guhle-Hanifin as your top 4 of the future, pick up a UFA center to get you thru until Casey is ready to be a #2.

I don't think so, I have a 60" flat one in my living room By the way I went to the Paul Simon Farewell tour concert Saturday. That was as awesome as the 12th row seats I had just off center stage. Sweet.

Didn't he go at 22?? So how was Murray going to take this kid at 23? I agree that this was an awful move for Lehner though but revisionist history aside most guys liked Lehner until last year on this site when he was less than stellar in his performances.

Why would the Preds trade him??

I'd keep PP1 as is and add Dahlin and Casey to PP2 and that should really help them improve PP2 was almost always terrible

I'm a little late on this and I'm far from a country music person but Chris Stapleton, Zac Brown are pretty good and an album that's been out for awhile with Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris is worth a listen. Also Joe Ely was a good listen too a while back especially his live albums.

I was hoping for the same thing. I'm a bit disappointed in the Star, expected more content. It could be they didn't receive enough subscribers, so if the Athletic did decide to grab someone, it would probably be pretty easy

Shout out to you and Sabills, I binged on the first 5 episodes of season 1 yesterday during a rain storm. It had me hooked after the first episode and it only gets better as the season moves along. I told my daughter about it and she said it not only was great but she told me about it 500 times, total BS, 450 tops as far as I'm concerned but definitely worth watching.

^ Don't be trying to fix your well earned reputation at this late a date :P

Congrats, good luck, don't spend it all in one place!!!

Both refer to the same procedure, however one is in English (electrocardiogram –ECG) and the other is based on the German spelling (elektrokardiogramm – EKG). It is common to use the German “EKG” in the United States because “ECG” sounds very similar to a different procedure called an EEG. Copied and pasted that. Unlike a blood test, there isn't any restrictions on a an EC/KG

You are a cold blooded assassin

To me RJ has the advantage of being the old standart bearer, so he gets forgiven for just about anything while Dan gets beat up for saying too much if you're watching the game on TV or saying too little if you're listening on the radio. Tough job actually to please both crowds.

And the other half we won't know who actually is carrying the puck. RJ is blind as a bat, doesn't recognize the players and can't read the numbers. I've been a big fan of his but it's time to retire. Besides Dunleavy doesn't do anywhere near as bad a job as some moan and groan about.

I don't care if he's Bobby Orr, the best defenseman in 30 years, I just want him to be a true and good #1 defenseman. This team is so devoid of talent on the backend that I'M PUMPED to have this guy. PUMP UP THE HYPE MACHINE. If he's anywhere as good as they project, I've got my Elvis Costello tune PUMP IT UP, ready and primed to blare.

Especially with it being one or our #1s

You have no idea what went on behind the scenes nor does anyone else here, your making sh!t up. I don't recall anyone affiliated with the team that bad mouthed Gionta during his stint here. And you have zero knowledge of what conversations went on between Bylsma and Gionta.

Couldn't have said this any better. Hopefully it works out in the end but in the mean time, not making any contact with his agent to keep him sounds like they had no plans to keep him. Then they wonder why the return was so little. If the Sharks resign him at least they'll get a lower #1 next year. Then you have a couple of guys on this site spreading rumors and BS, like they really know anything that's going on with the team much less Kane.

Good post, nothing is going to miraculously happen overnight. You wait for the young guys to mature and add a piece or 2 every year. That's how you mold a team. Sometimes it happens fast sometimes it doesn't but if you keep getting rid or your best players, your taking one step forward and 2 back. By changing the roster too much your not building any chemistry within the team. The Jets are the perfect example right now of building a team.

Haven't lived in Buffalo for years but I never heard of a steak sub, it was always a Steak Hoagie at least in South Buffalo

I get the idea that trading Risto, ROR, Reinhart, Scandella will make the return more but that doesn't necessarily mean it makes us better. I'm more of the opinion especially now that the burn of last season has healed slightly, to start dumping the bottom half of this roster for serviceable replacements. Hopefully with more speed and skill. GKr is our biggest need and will probably be our best bet to improve drastically in the standings. If we get bounce back years from a healthy Nylander and Okposo, our forward ranks aren't nearly as bad as they appeared last year. Dahlin, Scandella and Guhle/McCabe is not a terrible trio on the left side of our D, we just need someone to step up or pickup a top 4 D on the right and this will be the best set of Dmen we've had in quite awhile. I'm not quite as ready to burn down the house right now and hopefully the winning that #1 pick hasn't blinded me to what needs to be done. Now that the Penguins are knocked out of the playoffs, there's word that they may make some changes to their roster. Botts needs to possibly pick up a serviceable player from them and not necessarily a star to get the ball rolling but I don't see anything getting done before and after the draft.

I'm old................. but not that old.

Not that I necessarily disagree with you but every generation has a greatest player, Lebron just happens to be in this one. Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Carl Lewis to name a few would have to be ranked up there also if not Wilt Chamberlain who not only is in the Basketball HOF but also the Volleyball HOF.

Yeah because there are loads of players with 100% shooting percentage, why can't we have one. :angel: :angel:

Actually Reinhart said so himself at the end of the year interviews. He seems to play better with ROR IMO He's still young and I wouldn't trade him unless they receive an offer they can't refuse and I'm afraid Doohickie will become unbearable if they do trade his boy
