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?

JAG but with possible positive performance over last season.

And what was Tokarski’s save % last season? Quality goaltending at its finest.

UPL looks ready.

HIPAA ?

Like Murray? I honestly don't see how me makes the team unless he is a 13th or 14th forward. 15 is the right number for him since he is probably our 15th best forward.

I have posted before, but the Sabres have a policy against Jack's contract. I learned this from a friend in the industry who bid on the deal. He also told me that the standard in the industry is about 75% coverage. So if Jack is injured, then the policy pays the Sabres 7.5 mill of the 10 mill salary. When you saw the references to "experimental' treatment, that is insurance language for a non-approved procedure. The Sabres are also following sound and proven medical advice. I saw elsewhere that one of the surgeons consulting with the Sabres is also an authority on ADR and says the ACDF is the way to go here. I honestly don't see how this gets resolved at this point unless one of the parties backs down. Both parties have $50 million reasons not to back down, but also $50 million reasons to get this resolved. Both want Jack on the ice and playing. Honestly, if Jack had a leg to stand on for the treatment he wants he'd have filed a medical arbitration case. He hasn't. Still I'd like to see Jack the surgery he wants, but that's not happening unless Jack assumes some of the financial risk of it failing.

Jack can have the surgery he wants at any time. He just runs the risk of the Sabres suspending him without pay or voiding his contract. The reason there is an impass is that Jack wants his $50 mill also. Unfortunately for Jack, the Sabres are saying the insurance on your contract doesn't cover the surgery you want and therefore we can't approve it. Essentially Jack wants his surgery but wants the Sabres to take all the risk. The Sabres correctly are saying forget it.
