I have no idea what this response is about.
I’m sorry Stoner. I owe you an apology. In your first response you were criticizing the Sabres and not me. I failed to read your context properly. Thanks for your support and I’ll be more careful in the future.

I'm sorry about your issue. You're exactly the kind of fan that the Sabres downright disrespect with a simulcast.

Nice shot. I’m listening to the Vegas broadcast only and of course routing for the Sabres. I’ve been a fan since the beginning and would put my fandom up against yours anyday. Well stoner, be reasonable and get your head out of the bowl once in a while.

Trying something different tonight. Going to listen to the Vegas broadcast. It’s hard to listen to the Sabres broadcast. There are so many things that I have issue with. Dunleavy seems like a nice guy, but when you listen to each broadcast, there are gaps in coverage, and he doesn’t give the time remaining often enough nor inform the audience who is on the ice. I listed to every game due to eye issues, so its a very frustrating ordeal.

NO NO NO
You lugnuts, would't recognize a bad owner until he is here and moves the team out of town. Watch what you ask for. 13 years? No big deal for those with broad shoulders and listen to every game win or lose. We don't want whips for fans.

Why do I never get Sabres games on GR since they went with yet another app. (Audacy). Man this franchise f's anything they touch. Guess I'm not missing much to put a positive spin on this.
I had the same problem with the Audacy and GR apps. I solved the problem by going to acdacy.com and acquiring the station there. Thus far, no problems.

Risto has been bad forever and a strong piece of evidence in favor of analytics.
Funny Risto is brought up tonight. I was listening to the Flyers broadcast of the Bruins game. They (homers broadcasters) marveled over his physical play and stated that Risto never learned the proper way to play defense because he played for a lousy team/organization since his career began. Guess they don't follow analytics lol

Slow start but after that they were simply the better team on the ice. Was far from the most entertaining or exciting game I've seen this year and I'm sure you can argue the Canucks were bad, but there were some nice goals, some good team play, coordinated passing, and effort. Yes, it can all crash down when teams take notice or when we play the good ones, but this is better than expected regardless.
Biggest surprising positives so far. Obviously Thompson at center, who saw that coming??? Also Hagg has been surprisingly decent. Philly gave up on him and tossed him into the deal and supposedly he was a bad unreliable D man but so far better than Montour or some of the other stiffs that have come through here recently. Stable and solid so far and a reasonable replacement for McCabe. See if it continues.
One negative, I thought Miller was horrible tonight. A better team might have made us pay for some of his bad gaffs. Has to be better,
Lets give KA some love too. He had to ask for Hagg

The guys that left or are leaving never smiled like that. Not in many moons, anyway.
And that was a vintage Skinner goal for the GWG. Wouldn’t that be something if Donnie got him back in the saddle.
So much for the old "core" --- See ya

Nice win...relentless...pressure...turnovers...
But we know it didn't count because Vancouver is one of the worst teams in the NHL(common theme...every opponent the Sabres beat are apparently the worst team in the NHL according to posters)
Say what they will. But we get 2 points for every win just like they got for beating us!

Do you really think Mittelstadt has roughly equivalent value to a 3rd round pick?
Do you really think that Zegras or Krebs could be acquired for a mid-late 1st and a 3rd?
Your first question was answered in my post above. Regarding the second question, Bisson is the agent for Eichel and Zegras. Lets get er done.

No. We lose Eichel and Mitts ? We get Zegras or Krebs plus a pick and prospect? Terrible trade and overly complicated.
We just signed Mitts and we have few centers. Why throw him in this?
These would be two separate trades. Four pieces for Eichel - two firsts, one third and a top prospect. The second trade is a 1st and a 3rd/Mitts for Zegras/Krebs. I throw in Mitts as an option because in order to get value you have to give up some value. Mitts seems to be on the rise and I'm rooting for that. However, IMO Zegras and Krebs have more upside.

Not that we would trade with Montreal but Suzuki would have to be a part of the package.
Regarding the Carolina offer sheet to Jaspari Kotkoniemi at $6.1M. How about this:
Montreal does not match offer sheet and receives Carolina's 2022 1st and 3rd round picks.
Montreal trades their 2022 1st round pick, Carolina's 1st round and 3rd round pick plus a high level prospect to Buffalo for John Bob.
Buffalo trades one of their four 2022 first round picks to Anaheim or Vegas plus the Carolina 3rd round pick or Mitts for Zegras or Krebs.
Essentially:
Montreal loses Kotkomiemi and a high prospect and gets John Bob.
Anaheim/Vegas gets a 2022 1st round pick, a 3rd round pick or Mitts for Zebras/Krebs.
Buffalo gets a 1st round pick, Zegras/Krebs, a high level prospect from Montreal and a 3rd round pick or keeps Mitts.
Any takers?

I like McTavish as a better fit in Buffalo.
Zegras is a flashy perimeter player. McTavish plays a north/south aggresive more in your face style.
I really like McTavish's game and attitude while on the ice. McTavish and Drysdale = sign me up! Anything more is icing.

I just get the feeling Vegas is Jack's ultimate destination. They are a Cup contender but lack the true superstar up front .... to make their team more dynamic. I think their owner will do anything to get this team over the top.
Could be. And a side thought if JE goes to LV. The Sabs could be the only NHL franchise in history that, within a four year period, trades their two best players who then led their new team to a Stanley Cup the following season. We can't be that cursed - can we?

That's classic - probable headed that way! Hahahaha

i agree with the thought that it's time to move on. I'm sure that Eichel's camp is pressuring for that. We could have a very good/better future with those pieces from Anaheim.
-
A most interesting situation with many good points above. I understand that the Sabres want four assets in return for JE. Would anyone here
take Zegras. Drysdale and a first rounder?

I will always be indebted to the Pegula's for purchasing the Sabres and rescuing the Bills. They are good people who will admit that they have made mistakes. In fact, they don't have to admit it, because its pointed out to them every day. Has the recent past been frustrating - of course. But its not worth hating over. Changes will be made and fanbase confidence will once again be restored. The Sabres will rise again!

Happy Birthday Radar.
Too bad that the Sabres could not have played better on your day. Too bad for a lot of things and too bad for Ralph. He came in with so much promise, meeting will fans incognito, gaining their view and seemingly a good coaching communicator. You and I have seen many things in our time, and this shall pass too. Someday the Sabres will rise again!

Big news coming from the Islanders front office after today's game
. Lou Lamoriello petitioned the NHL to play all of their remaining games against the Buffalo Sabres. It is rumored that GMKA responded by saying that this was "unacceptable".

If Botts was the reason behind the ROR trade can honestly understand that sentiment especially if Botts didn't give a good explanation on how paying it would better the return specifically. If Botterill told the Pegulas they would get a better return but never gave them a specific reasoning/example I too would likely be a bit unconvinced.
Yes, and TP admitted in his press conference that there were communication issues with JB.

Same - same from TBD. It was during the Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes - before the 2016-17 season. I followed the JV thread while posts were pouring in and hope was high that he would sign with Buffalo.
And now -- what a difference almost four years makes.

I'm so happy that you are doing better and that your wife recognized and understood some of your needs! My wife is in the mental health field and often discusses reaching out for help at the right time is so important! My credit to you, welcome back and enjoy the new ride!

Not the real Ripper. One college freshman day I had a date with a bottle of Thunderbird wine (puke). I stumbled back to the dorm and then slept 26 consecutive hours. It’s been “Rip” van Winkle ever since! LOL
