Those ######!
Just kidding, that's fine. I'm willing to bet the Islanders remain considerably awful next year. We'll get two high draft picks in the first in 2015 which will 1) increase our chance at winning the McDavid lottery and 2) make it easier to trade those picks for the 1st overall if we don't win the lottery and choose to do so.
I'm not trying to direct this specifically at you but I've read a couple times already about trading up to #1 next year. This will not happen period. If we end up at #1 would you consider trading out of acquiring an absolute franchise changing player? No way I or any other team does. Colorado was loaded at centre last year but wouldn't trade out of taking McKinnon. No chance anyone trades out of McDavid, even for Eichel. I really hope I don't have to read 5 million posts about trading up to #1 next year because it will not happen.

Tyler Ennis out tonight per Nolan. Konopka is questionable.
Did he get hurt last night? I didn't notice while watching.

How can you be so sure it would be guilt-free? Doesn't Murray have to be looking down the road at what a big contract like that would look like when the team might be back in contention? My other thought is that commiting Lundqvist type money, or more, to Miller means you are building the team a certain way — from the goal out. That's a critical strategic decision and not one that should be born out of, "Oh, what the hell, we need a goalie, and we have gobs of money." Making that commitment to Dom made sense; Miller isn't Hasek. He's not Lundqvist. He's not even Enroth. (Joke.)
Yep, I agree with pretty much all of that. I don't want this big Miller decision (assuming there is even a decision which I doubt very much based on Millers attitude towards resigning) coming down to well we could only get a 2nd round pick rather than a 1st so let's lock him up.

So is it bad luck to start a GDT over a month ahead? And in this case, is bad luck a win or a loss?
(I'm off to start that "GDT: SCF Game 7 Sabres at Phoenix 2020-06-13 at 8PM EDT" thread...)
Now do you really believe Phoenix will have a team in 2020?? :P

He could sign elsewhere and be traded too.
He could but I would think that he knows if he signs with a contender it's much less likely than a bottom feeder who's appeared to have been dangling him for awhile now.
-
It may be a possibility that in both Millers interest and team he does sign in Buffalo as at this time the market for goalie not high , signing Miller for Sabres would make him in fact more desirable in a year or two if they front end a contract with substantial bonuses , he later term money not as high a cap hit. At present Sabres not going to get value for him and Miller not going to be offered the money he would wish in terms of contract extension. A surprise in terms of a contract signing may very well be in the offing . They do it this way or get in return for him not very much.
I think the problem with this was well pointed out by Tank that why would Miller resign with Buffalo if there is even a hint that he will be traded in a couple of years? Why wouldn't Miller say thanks but no thanks, I'll sign for big money on my terms in a couple of months.

Tank on Brother. Tank on.

Whomever they draft, I would hope they stay on their junior team for another year. I know that isn't the recent trend with #1 or 2 picks but I think this is the best scenario for the team and the player.
Rumour that the Sabres are trying to re-sign Miller once again, the only way I see this as a good ploy is that it increases his trade value. If the Sabres can't get a high valued prospect or a #1 pick for him. Do you agree in keeping him?
I've posted this in the Miller thread but I say absolutely not.
-
But is that not a Darcy move to see we can't get a ton for him at the deadline so we try and scramble and sign him. I for once want us to think long term, have a plan in place and go with it. It has seemed obvious to me that TM has wanted to trade Miller rather than re-sign. So get what you can (even if it's considerably less than you want) and follow the plan you have in place. I don't want him to go for nothing either but signing Miller to a Lundqvist type contract is a huge decision that I dont want to be decided based on a potential deadline deal in 2014 that may or may not materialize.
I agree on the Darcy fu$king us over part.
I guess I'm just getting tired of these reactionary moves....
-
Is anyone else troubled by if the reports that if the Sabres are unable to trade Miller by the deadline they are going to try and re-sign him? I want this new management team to have clear direction. Paying a ton of money to a goalie can have a huge impact on the future shape of this team. I'm not sayinjg I want or don't want them to re-sign Miller but if your decision is to trade him and move on then that's what you do. I don't want a lack of demand for a rental goalie at the deadline to force managements hand to re-sign him. Make your decision and stick to it!
-
Well. once they trade away Miller and Moulson, that will be a solution without a problem.
:w00t:
-
I think Miller will be difficult to move as the market is limited. I would say Moulson and Ott will bring back better returns than Miller.
Not sure that Ennis's talent out weigh's his lack of size.
I am expecting to be wow'd by Tim Murray's moves!
Completely agree with you and Weave on the Miller front. Although if you're the Blues and see what happened at the olympics, how could you not think about upgrading?
-
Great win by the Canadians but it was pretty expected. I figured the winner of that canada us game would win gold. Unbelievable defence all tourney. Party time in canada!!
-
Gold medal game baby!! Go Canada Go! Go Canada Go!
-
This may go down as the best D core Canada has ever sent to the olympics. Unreal play from the back end. The US had a number of shots but not too many were of high quality. Canadians were great at boxing out the Yanks and playing physical.
-
Have not read a post yet. Just got back from the bar. All I can say is GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO! This is our game baby!!!!!!!!!
-
And your father so drunk Canadian that he thinks she rivals Bo Derek.
Oh, I have heard that one the other way around. Canadian's just add in MUM and aaawk... to their whine.
Hahahahaha, I've also heard the what do you call a sophisticated Canadian joke in reverse.
A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whacha get the case of beer
for?"
"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.
"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade.
Only In Canada can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
What do you ca a sophisticated Canadian?
An American!
What's the difference between a Canadian and a canoe..... A canoe tips!
How do we know Adam was Canadian....
Who else could stand beside a naked woman and we tempted by fruit!
Hell the only perk of moving to Canada is that your 6 inch member becomes 15.24 CM
;)
Go USA
I must say that I laughed out loud to that first one.
-
Just think, they have reached this point of the tournament with Crosby doing nothing for them. Hopefully he comes to play this game........
have fun Rooting for The Toronto Maple-Americans!
CAN - A - DA! CAN - A - DA! CAN - A - DA!
That's very true, it would be great for Crosby to do something out there. I also agree with an earlier poster saying this could be a high scoring game. Should be a good one!
-
Yo Mama so fat she's probably American!
Only in America can they take French Toast, Canadian Bacon and an English Muffin and call it an All-American breakfast.
What is the difference between Americans and the engines of the jets on which they travel abroad?
After they land, the engines of the jets quit whining.

U.S. wins this one 4-1. Canadians have had a dismal 7% shooting percentage and have yet to put it all together while the U.S. has gelled. If it comes down to goaltending U.S. has the lead. With that, Go Canadeh !
Ya I also don't have a good feeling about this. Canada has looked out of sorts at times this tourney. Having said that, this will be game 5 so maybe they will start to gel as the game goes on. If we're going to win it's because Weber and Doughty continue to distroy people as they have all tourney. If not for those two I don't know if this team is in the semis.

My point is why temp fate ? She had been warned.
Also. Do you remember the delay of game penalty in soccer against the Canadian keeper in London when the U.S. player counted the seconds off to the ref ? these things have a way of coming full circle. The keeper had been warned about holding up the game. She continued to do so and the American player put the ref in the spotlight by counting down the seconds. The ref had to make the call. I blame the Canadian keeper. Not the ref.
Nice, I was trying to remember the soccer game canada got screwed against the us and that was it.

I grew up near Keuka Lake and gotta say I miss how beautiful home is sometimes.
That being said we have updates:
2/20/14
Michael Dal Colle: 35g, 48a, 83pts, 57gp = 42g, 57a, 99pts, 68gp
Sam Bennett: 32g, 50a, 82pts, 49gp = 44g, 69a, 113pts, 68gp
Samson Reinhart: 32g, 56a, 88pts, 48gp = 45g, 79a, 124pts, 68gp
Jake Virtanen: 38g, 21a, 59pts, 60gp = 43g, 24a, 67pts, 68gp
My God Reinhart is having a great second half. I just hope if someone wins the lottery other than us it's the Oilers. I fear that if it's any other team they're taking Reinhart. Not that I don't think Bennett will be a good prospect because I really do but all signs point to Reinhart being the better player.

Now I know you're lying, what kind of Canadian doesn't get Timmy-Ho's donuts with found money?
Once you go with the everything bagel with a little herb and garlic cream cheese you just don't go back.

damn right man! I'm on the north east side of Ithaca...about a mile or two up Cayuga lake.
Oh I know that area fairly well. I'm jelous, the wife and I would love to move down there at some point when we hit the golden years.
