It would be good if they could start next year in Rochester with a veteren center between them.

Both are promising for sure. Can we not have some fun with it?

I like Peterka overall but Quinn will get a chance first.

He's got two more games he could play. Lets see how he does.

Likely not... Thats why I have him at AHL backup level... Maybe. With Tokarski we have a known ceiling. Houser we still don't... But to your point, we don't know the floor either, where we do with Toker. As a Sabres fan first, I'd be willing to take the chance to see more... Potentially at the expense of ROC of he didn't pan out.

In two starts in ROC he's now got a .952 save percentage. Other than the 1 dud game he's played well so far. If he keeps it up, do you trade Tokarski for some forward help, and let Houser back up UPL?

Did i do something wrong... I don't think i picked the winners of the semis or the number of games.

I'm actually in Canada, but Sahlen Field would be way better to watch a game at vs Rogers Centre. If they picked some dates or teams that historically draw poorly, it could maybe break even... Especially given the ancillary benefit of getting more WNY'ers to games in TO. Likely it would never happen, but it's fun to think about.

Its funny that they decided to run Eichel's locker room clean-up interview right after his exit interview. My kids play rep hockey, and there's always been a strict 24 hour rule where you can't talk to the coach until a full day after the issue happens. This way cooler heads usually prevail. We got Jack pretty much right after he was talking to Adams. For sure that set the stage for what we got on Monday.

Wouldnt it be great if the Jays pulled a Ralph Wilson and played a couple games a season in Buffalo.

Eichel was the reason we still won games with these trainwreck players. Trading him is only part of the solution if we get a good deal.

I think what everyone is trying to say to you, is its not Eichel's fault we keep finishing last. Its: Eakin, Okposo, Sobotka, Hutton, Irwin, Vesey, Bogosian, Frolik, Johannsen, Johannsen, Miller, Beaulieu, Bergland, Hunwick, Tennyson, Antipin, Fedun, Nolan, Pouliot, Deslauriers, Falk, Grant, Kulikov, Moulson, Legwand, Colioacovo's fault, among many others. Worse yet, we keep playing many of these guys even when its readily apparent that they suck. To use the baseball term... almost every one of them played well below replacement level, yet we kept throwing then out there. Granato, is the first coach we've had that looks like he's serious about sitting the dead weight, and he said as much today. Eichel just happens to be the unlucky face of the team that drafts, trades for, and plays these really bad players.

The Yankees probably don't want to give up or share their historical TV rights to the WNY market... But it only makes sense that Buffalo should be a Blue Jays town with the farm team right there. Do they show the Mets games in Buffalo too?

Given all the kids seem to like Granato, I'm not sure if we can afford to bring some old schooler who's going to want to make them leave town along with the veterans.

What time is it going to be?

Chinese checkers

Lafreniere too.

After being fully into watching the world juniors this year, having both Cozens and Zegras would be a nice core for the future.

Who would do Zegras and a non lottery protected 1st for Eichel?

Sorry... I meant that without Eichel and Sam (and goaltending), we'd surely be looking at last place in 2022 which is the Wright draft... Then the same team with rookie Wright would still suck and set us up for 2023.

Man... If only there was a guarantee of Hughes this year and Bedard/Michkov next year.

I still would like to know why the team wouldn't let him get the surgery if it means hes back in time for the season as Jack says he would be.

He said he'd be back at the start of the season.

I don't get why the team would not want him to get the surgery? Is it going to cost too much with boat payments coming up?

Remember that time when Darcy Regier traded Paul Gaustad for a 1st round pick?
