It's Team Canada. Most of their roster is filled with first rounders or other high draft picks.

I’m just waiting to hear from @pi2000 Right now I think it’s jack and not even close. Then when you factor in jack has what $2 mil less long term cap hit (Pi was right about AM holding out for the absolute max cash he could) it becomes even better.

I’m not sure this is a hockey Canada political thing. They probably put more weight into the months of watching the players leading up to selection camp than a two game sample size.

I’m not really buying that but who knows. I think they hope Dach will be returned for the tourney and the forward group seems pretty strong on paper this year.

What do you mean regarding the Newhook cut?

I wonder what Mitts would fetch. Feels like we would be selling him at an all time low value but if it's a legit top 6 with some term and not super old then I would consider it.

I would be fine not seeing Dahlin until the New Year.

Honestly been like that since year 1. Great that everyone is always in making lineup changes and waiver wire adds. For a non money league it’s very competitive which is awesome. Usually keeps the standings pretty tight.

^ sounds like a guy we would go after then....

Ya JBots really should be on the hot seat shouldn’t he? If they finish bottom 10 I can’t see how he makes it. Hope he doesn’t atleast.

Ya I think I’m done with Botts.

As they should be. Hope Cozens works out better than Mitts and Nylander.

Ya I think I would have kept me in the playoff hunt too. Tough loss. Oh well, best of luck to whomever makes the playoffs.

This is not a team I care to route for. They’re soft, can’t score consistently and have Absolutely no heart. I have too many other stressors in my life right now. This was suppose to an outlet to distract me from some other issues I’m dealing with. Long story short I think I’m going to take a break for a bit from this team which unfortunately includes our little corner of the internet. Hopefully when the team becomes something to be proud of again I’ll return but now is looking like a nice time for a break. For the most part I’ve enjoyed our discussions all. Sure I’ll be back eventually. Everyone in Sabrespace Fantasy Football, you’re still going down!!

Don’t want NS not knowing there’s a game today. Have at er.

Yep, as expected. Thanks guys.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile and looking like another bust in a long line of busts. How’s he looked this year?

I would think UPL.

I love your contributions to this forum. I also would like to consider myself fairly well educated. Having said that, I had to look up the word ‘rancour’ as I’ve never read or heard that word in my life. Going to have to start using that. But I have also read this post five times now and I don’t have a clue at what you are trying to say here my friend. I agree that it is valid to question every move the organization makes. Including the bottom guys. However, there is no evidence I have seen in what Gilmore has done on the Sabres or throughout his career that justifies me caring in the least if he is claimed or not. Is there something I’m (and apparently 30 other nhl franchises who passed on him) missing? I’m still hoping beyond hope he doesn’t become a regular starter on this team. Maybe it’s just me but I’m not worried about Nelson because he is behind all of the guys in Buffalo as well as Borgen and Pilut on the farm. Nelson is the same way as Gilmore to me, if he starts playing regular minutes this team is in big trouble.

It really is incredible. Out of those pairings I think I sit Risto and Bogo but tough to do if you’re trying to move Risto.

I was a guy that was fine keeping skinner off Eichel line so we could try to produce something outside of the first line but JFC if we’re playing him with sheary and Rodrigues I just, I just don’t get it.

That was a close one.....

What are you talking about man? He played in 4 games and the team lost 3 of them. I would argue the Washington and Minny games (even tho he was forward in the minny one) were two of the worst games this team has played all season. So not really. He has played ok and the team was horrendous in half of the games he’s been a part of. Buffalos affection for fringe hockey players while constantly trying to run their stars out of town will never cease to amaze me.

Dregs goes on a buffalo radio station to tell everyone Jason is trying. Me thinks the Sabres really want everyone to know they’re trying real hard.....
