As if there wasn't enough hockey to watch, ESPN+ is showing what appears to be a lot more college hockey this year.
Watching Devon Levi right now.
Pretty cool.
Best value out there.

Debrincat had kane Not comparable in my opinion
Hes looking for 8-9m btw
are you saying Robertson is better and worth more in a trade because he didn't have a player like Kane?

The other good comparable is Alex Debrincat, just a year older and more proven.
He cost a 3rd, a 2nd and a top 10 pick.
Debrincat with 2 40 goal and 1 30 goal season already, thought that was steal for the Sens. Would definitely not mind getting a goal scorer like that for 3 picks.
Both Debrincat and Robertson were 39 pick overall. Kinda interesting fun fact.

That trade looks like this: Cozens, Savoie, 2023 1st, Ryan Johnson and something else like Olofsson or maybe they want another prospect like Quinn or JJP
I wouldn't think Olofsson, only because of his contract. Too much for Dallas to add.

Agree. Not advocating for Robertson specifically merely that a Robertson-type acquisition is feasible.
If KA doesn’t make the deal it’s because he’s not enamoured with the player relative to the cost of acquisition, not because he’s ruled out the idea of trading prospects entirely.
We won't have room for all the prospects on the big league roster eventually. Something has to give. Not necessarily a bad idea to package a few for a proven elite player.

As an out of towner, what can I subscribe to that will give me all the games (accept the "National" games")?
Does Hulu really mean Hulu+?
No, Hulu and Hulu + are different.
I have espn+ here is AZ and it's great. It has almost every game for every team, college BB(I'm a Bona fan, watched most of their games), college FB... it's a great deal, plus Disney is great too. Either channel is worth the price, getting both is a real bargain.

Where in the post you quoted was that contradicted?
Would rather have this tournament played in September when it won't #### with the regular season & should make the NHL & IIHF durn near the same amount of money as putting it in the middle of the year.
IMHO, when they aren't doing weird things like having Team Euro & Team Underaged Drinkers, this is the best international tourney next to soccer's World Cup. And stated that upthread. Absolutely love that tourney, just wish it wouldn't compress the RS and break that into 2 completely separate chunks. So, what was your point?
Money grab has a negative connotation to it. Sorry if I misinterpreted your view.

It's definitely a money grab. But it'd be a money grab in September too. And it wouldn't force a compression of the rest of the schedule around it.
It's sports entertainment, it's supposed to make money. That's ok.

If I'm GMKA I am asking Paul Statsny to be a mentor for the young guys and come to Buffalo to be the #4 center between Girgs and Okposo.
Give him a 1 year deal at $2 million. He is good at face offs and could move up the line up if injuries arise.
Brian Boyle, Derick Brassard, Derek Stepan, and Riley Sheahan would all be cheaper options around league minimum.
This mentoring drives me nuts. Is every veteran a good mentor? Is it really needed? Is Stastny a good mentor?

Like all of us, I am watching what happens on the open market and I just saw Klingberg sign with the Ducks for 7mm 1 season. I know that Kevyn is focusing on home grown and long term results. But should he sprinkle in signings like this, or Kadri on a short-term deal or others especially with all this cap room to see if he can catch lightning in a bottle? Culture is king, but taking a chance here and there might make some sense…
Kadri would never sign a short term deal in Buffalo instead of a long term deal on a top team.

When you have a young core of players that are looking up to the leadership of two people in the locker room (Grandpa and Dad) That is worth more then Eichel, Reinhart and anyone else that just has talent. Anderson is more then a serviceable backup. That the team in front of him trusts him speaks volumes. Can we find better? Easily i am sure, but is the fit for the team going to be the same as it is with Anderson in it? Most likely not.
Is Anderson the only goalie that would also be a good locker room guy? I get he's a good guy with a great story, but at some point, we want to win games. If he plays 30 a year and is subpar, we don't have a chance to make the playoffs, no matter how fun he is in the locker room.

This is a smart signing. He is a respectable backup and an insanely awesome leader in the locker room who is highly respected. From what was said, the plan is still to bring in another goalie and if they are good, 6K will most likely start in Ra cha cha.
He's a below average goalie, that doesn't make him a respectable backup. Insanely awesome....really?

He is the only Sabre that lives in Buffalo Year Round.
Sign Him to team friendly one year extensions and have a Front Office or Coaching Position waiting for Kyle when He decides to retire.
Why should he get a front office or coaching position? Does he know how to coach? What are his skills that would help in the front office? I like Okposo, but he's been mostly a non factor here while earning millions. Does the team really owe him future employment?
I wonder if other teams have so much fan base discussion about naming a team captain. It really seems over the top.

F him. There is absolutely no reason to dddle around with him. He was borderline to begin with plus he baled on the team. I do not see any scenario where bringing him back is a net positive. Let him lie in the bed he made.

In my opinion I think it should be obvious that ROR probably went to ownership and said "get me the f... out of here...I cannot, I will not play with this guy. Can't happen."
ROR Instantly wins a SC. They're moving on again this season. He hasn't seemed to wear out his welcome.
Eichel Instantly leads team to first non playoff season and coach firing.
He joins the team in January? coming off major neck surgery and he's the team leader?

Call it whatever you want politically(Because I’m sure someone on here will blame Trump or the Republican Party) but at the end of the day with all these active shooters, most of them if not all of them have mental issues. Bad people do bad things and if it isn’t a gun it’s going to be some other method. This is why it’s important to carry and know how to use it in these situations. Society is lost and with the lack of parenting these days, social media *****, coupled with the amount of illegal drugs that people are doing it’s a recipe for these types of actions.
Mentally is people are usually victims of crimes, not perps. I feel that those throwing out mental illness as a cause for these types of tragedies is just a way to attempt to distract from easy access to guns. Other countries have mental issues, social media, illegal drugs, but they don't have near the level of senseless gun violence that we have.

First, I don't drink or smoke cigarettes, so I'd be fine if they were both gone.
Second, a person drinking, in moderation, next to me does not affect my enjoyment of life. A person smoking skunkweed next to me adversely affects my enjoyment of life. Smoking cigarettes is banned in many places for that same reason. If people only smoked dope in their own homes, I would not care. However, they do not.
I do believe that the federal government made a mistake in classifying marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning it could not have any possible medical use. This prohibited researchers from determining the legitimate ways that THC may be beneficial to people who are ill.
Are you allowed to smoke weed in public places? You can't here in AZ, just in your home, or hopefully in my car before the concert i'm going to next week.

I think that there's always been a concern about fixing games or spreads. I think legalized gambling increases the likelihood of this occurring more often. I do enjoy light betting on some games, but it's not a big deal for me.

I'd offer FLA's 2022 first pick which we own... rights to Ryan Johnson... and Portillo for Kane... perhaps Philly's 2023 2nd round as a sweetner... Toews contract 10.5 million is unmovable... Kane is off the books at 10.5 million which would give the Hawks extra cap space after spending stupid money on Jones along with giving up picks in that belied the rebuild that is coming... does Kane fit culture and would he stay on a new contract... don't know, but the Sabres have thrown cash (spaghetti) against the wall many times... it may worth trying it with Kane
so basically we get Kane, who just came off one of his top scoring seasons, for almost nothing.
6 hours ago, sweetlou said:Trying to utilize the Sabres cap space next two years while not depleting the prospects and or draft picks.
I want this to be for fans to list creative but realistic trade ideas for players that would fit into the Sabres plans.
1st trade idea-
Vegas is in trouble next year and do not have cap space for all their current players under contract and to sign RFA's. Although I like Asplund's game and he is under a good contract for next year at 825K, I'd rather get a player similar to him that is more physical, so that is why I target RFA Kolesar from Vegas. Dadanov is a player that Vegas tried to move this year but ran into the whole NTC fiasco. Dadanov probably has the Sabres on his no trade list as well but Sabres could be middle team and even retain salary and move him to a team he wants to go to. RFA Hague is a solid 6'6" 3rd pairing LD who is from Kitchener who I believe would love being closer to home.
Asplund and Vegas 2nd rd pick to Vegas.
Dadanov, Hague, Kolsesar and 3rd rd Buffalo pick to Buffalo.
Deal is basically Asplund for Kolesar, 2nd rd pick for Hague, and Dadanov and Buffalo 3rd for future considerations. Again Vegas needs to shed cap.
Buffalo then would turn around and send Dadanov to Washington for Eller, or another team for a pick and retain salary if needed.
2nd trade idea-
Florida is also in cap trouble and will need to shed salary.
3rd rd pick to Florida for Radko Gudas.
Sabres defense for 22-23.
Mule, Dahlin
Power, Joker
Hague, Gudas
If you're going to do all this work, could you at least get us a starting goalie?
