Dear Axel, Welcome to the Pit of Despair

Dear KA, please do UPL a favor and send him to Rochester. Dear KA, please do the Sabres a favor and either acquire a real NHL goalie or quit and let someone else find us a real NHL goalie.

Axel Foley

I expect solid play for 10-15 games and then for him to get injured and struggle to get back for the rest of the year. I then expect him to be traded at the deadline if healthy to a team that has injuries in goal for a 3rd rd pick in 2023.

I expect Cozens to have some good moments and some terrible ones and score about 35 pts. During his bad moments, I expect people here to call him a bust and say he was rushed to the NHL, especially when Mitts takes off this year.

Tim Connolly pre-concussion?

Are you referencing the Greek ferryman over the river Styx?

Max Lagace Garrett Sparks Alex Lyon Any interest? I have some interest in Sparks and Lyon, but they are more of the same, except Lyon is 24 and has a chance of developing into something still. He was good at Yale.

I don't think waivers works like that in a pro sports (unlike fantasy sports). We are the worst team in the NHL and we stay No.1 for waivers until the season begins I believe. I was looking at the recent waivers. Former Sabres abound. Guhle, O'Regan, Griffith, Dea, and Flynn all waived. The Bruins also waiver 2015 1st rd bust Zach Senyshyn

Also if we claimed a guy like this what does that tell us about the JAGs that are already here?

I went with option 1 to be optimistic.

It's very exciting to see a reboot of something that died 40 years ago. Hopefully it's as good as Coming to America 2

Did we claim Axel Foley? So what do we expect from Axel Foley? Please also correct the spelling in the thread title.

So not a goalie.

I do, but I was responding to two posts about hockey in the Bills thread. I hope and pray that the Bills defense of the last 3 weeks can shred the Chiefs revamped OL. Getting pressure on Mahomes is the key to beating them. I am in a quandary for next week fantasy wise. I have Mahomes in one league and Allen in the other. Who do you start or do I bench both in favor of their backups Burrows and Stafford?

Freedom of choice is an ideal but the NHLPA contracted that ideal away. Now they have to live with the consequences. Possibly. Depending on how this gets resolved it could set a precedent that affects how others with “unique” injuries get treated, how future insurance contracts get written, and how teams handle these situations.

18 goals and 13 assists

Next week we finally play a real team with a real starting QB on the road. This will be the first real test of the season. Beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead will set the tone for the season.

I except him to be traded by the deadline.

I think there is a gap between optIons 1 & 2. We can see a 50 pt season and a guy who is a top 6 center. I think the 1st option implies he is an elite player and even I don’t see him as an elite player. I see him as potentially a more flashy Reinhart.

Who is Mat Robson?

@dudacek When was the last time we had this many 2nd and 3rd rd picks who project easily into the NHL? Maybe never? Samuelsson Portillo, JJP, Poltapov and Kisakov.

Pominville says what?
