It'd be great if Buffalo went for Tofolli, but LA will probably try to keep him. Saad is the next guy I'd want the Sabres to go after. Just trying to think realistically. LA and Chicago are rather tight against the cap. Boston is also close to the cap, so Hamilton would be a great addition, but Buffalo would have to give up too many quality draft picks. However, if the Sabres acquired Hamilton I wouldn't mind it at all if the 21st pick, Grigs and Zadorov were sent to Colorado for ROR. Just my thoughts. Out of the three mentioned Saad seems to be the most likely to happen. Let me stress this is my "fantasy hockey" opinion.

Didn't read the entire thread, but saw near the beginning an interesting idea. Putting the rosters on NHL 15 and simulating season 1 could decide the winner. After the season is over, you guys could make roster moves/trades to improve your teams. Season 2 could then be simulated. This would be a very long, difficult thing to do for the person managing the NHL 15 updates, but would be interesting. EA sports once made an NFL focused on being a GM. Never attempted to play it, but a friend of mine said it was very difficult/fun. Just an idea for you guys to try out. I'd like to see the results season by season. But again, a lot of work for all of you. Found this NHL GM game online shortly after recommending the idea of using NHL 15. Not sure how good it is, but it may help you guys out. http://websimhockey.com

Fun video to watch. Very creative.

It is a complete load of.... Pittsburgh is exploiting a goof up in whatever the league typed out. If a team fires a coach, they should not receive anything for it if another team hires him. It can hurt a coaches chance of landing another coaching position. If the Sabres do have to give up a 3rd round pick, I'd love it if Murray made a comment on how stupid the rule is. Sure, people have gotten on to Murray for saying this, that and the other when he probably shouldn't have, but I wouldn't mind it all if he slammed Pittsburgh for getting a pick. Didn't know Bylsma was relieved of duty, not fired, until after I posted this.

Hopefully the meeting involves a pen.

Jagr's numbers have dropped a bit, but the guy has aged well. Put up 67 points in the 2013/14 season as a 42 year old. Had 18 in the last 20 games w/ the Panthers this year. Still wouldn't give up much for Hossa. Not everyone drinks from the fountain of youth.

Since Bylsma is still under contract w/ the Penguins, will the Sabres have to give a draft pick to Pittsburgh if he signs w/ Buffalo? As long as it's not a first rounder, it doesn't matter to me. It only cost a 3rd for Babcock.

I know Interstellar has nothing to do w/ Memorial Day, but it has quickly risen in my rankings of best movies ever made. Have watched it countless times. Can't get enough of it. Give Interstellar a watch if you haven't seen it.

Brain develops over time and eventually reaches a capping point. If you haven't learned the proper mechanics at a some what early age, there will be little room for progression.

This Kelly's Heroes? ha ha In all seriousness, I've heard Kelly's Heroes is a great movie. Haven't seen it though. Adding another one to watch for the first time.

Haven't seen the first two you mentioned, but The Dirty Dozen is classic. Good one to watch.

What movie(s) do you plan to watch this Memorial Day weekend? I always gotta go w/ Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers and Taking Chance. Adding Fury to the list this year, and I haven't seen American Sniper yet. Going to give it a try.

I'll be checking this site all morning for an announcement. Ha What person on this board won't be?

Tim Graham @ByTimGraham · 20m20 minutes ago Source familiar tells me Mike Babcock down to Buffalo and Detroit, confidently predicts Buffalo's big money will be choice. Toronto is out.

Any of you hear what Redwings fans have to say about all of this? A number feel Babcock is not going to stay in Detroit, and they would be displeased if the Redwings offered him 5 million a year. Granted, they're just fans, but it can get your hopes up.

W/ Wednesday nearing, every time I see this thread at the top of the board I have a sense of hope/excitement that Babcock has announced his decision to coach Buffalo.

Have any of you played Far Cry 4? If so, what game would you compare it to? Also, is it worth buying? Debating between that and FFX remastered for the PS4. Imo, that was the last great Final Fantasy game. Haven't played FFX since the PS2. That's why I'm tempted to pick it up.

Beyond yes! That and MK 2 are my favorite fighting games of all time. Picked Bloodborne up last weekend. Difficulty is through the roof, but it's fun/addictive at the same time. Can't get enough of it. Wish I had played Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 and 2....

Yep, he couldn't understand why so many felt it would be difficult to reach the floor last year. “You guys always asked about the floor which I never understood, but anyway,” Murray said before opening his end-of-day press conference at First Niagara Center. “I said earlier, it’s always easy to spend money.” Typical Buffalo media will be raising the question again I'm sure. Different "hurdles" may be placed for Murray by the press as the Sabres are in a different situation this offseason, but he'll be rolling his eyes in a are you serious kind of way.

I'd download it, but Comcast blows. Works fine w/ my PS3, but the connection w/ the PS4 is terrible. One minute I can make updates in matter of seconds. Next minute it takes 39 hours. Not exaggerating. Going w/ top feed right provided by Comcast. No excuse for it.

Picked up Bloodborne yesterday for the PS4. Holy smokes! A complete must play if you're into rpgs. Can't put it down. Simply an incredible game.

Imo, he was kept was due to Darcy fudging things up w/ Drury and Briere. If one of them were kept, Buffalo may have passed on Edmonton's offer to Vanek. Fans would have been in a complete uproar had the Sabres lost all 3 players.

Just out of curiosity, are there any beer only people on this board? I'm not into liquor or wine at all. Have nothing against people that do drink liquor and/or wine. Have plenty of friends that enjoy the stuff.
