Bruins veteran forward Milan Lucic was arrested early Saturday morning in the city of Boston following a domestic incident, sources confirmed to WCVB's Duke Castiglione.
The specifics of the incident were not immediately clear.

This one is "notorious". The clip below also has Charley Steiner's laughing uncontrollably on Sport center.

I hate it when the game is over after the first period.😡
Yes, it’s much better after the clock reads 0:00, and then you realize it can’t end on a defensive penalty.

Is there an overview of the team's salary cap situation(s) somewhere? I'm not going to dig into it myself.
But if memory serves, there's no moving on from Diggs or Miller for a while - at least through next season (2024-2025).

Now is not the time to chastise the GM but next year will be challenging as Allen, Diggs and Millers cap figures escalate. Not quite Cap Hell, but maybe Purgatory.

The reality is that a team that could not stop an impotent New England offense and this Denver team from driving the length of the football field under two minutes to win games was not going to compete against KC, Baltimore or others in the playoffs, if they made it all. Hopefully “13 seconds” and “12 men” give them enough cover to pivot on McD and this regime this offseason. We cannot let any more years of Josh get wasted.

I can go with this but I like parts of Clifton's game and his string of bad luck seems to have ended for now. He has been more steady, and he is strong in front of the net.
I think we keep little Johnson up. Rotate the Johnson's, Joker, and Clifton. Heck, give Power and Dahlin a day off when they get nicked and need a break.
Ruff did not stick with the same 6. We finally have 7 that are worthy of playing. The trick is we have to play Little Johnson enough.

McDavid has a full NMC. That severely limits the return. Think about the Hasek trade to Detroit compared to his actual worth to both teams.
Also, RNH and Draisaitl should be going before McDavid. Those returns would indicate is the Sabres can get away with a "futures" deal.
For me, this is where the rubber meets the road. If the Oilers miss the playoffs completely and Leon chooses not to resign and test UFA, then McDavid could force a rebuild scenario. McDavid might not want to play his last season without him, assuming Leon Ops out after 2025. Which means you are buying only one year of term so the return could be short of Eichel, who had 4 years of prime term. Two good players and two picks. Maybe conditional 1st or Second rounders. And another big if, is how well our team is progressing, bc as you said, he has a full NMC. If Buffalo isn’t showing real growth on its own, McDavid would ixnay any trade to the 716.

Injuries or not, it’s quickly becoming a “tale of two sixes” where the forward lines are concerned. Tuch would make a difference, but I’m not sure the combination of him and our stable of competing rookies changes the equation all that substantially.
Thank god for Casey Mittelstadt, that’s all I’ll say

Pitt won, Cleveland won, Houston won...colts won. At 5-4 we are in the mix with all of these teams and have wayyyy too many conference losses. Unless we rattle off a wining streak, we are at high risk of missing completely.
Bills play a first place schedule, and Houston plays a last place one. Houston’s remaining games are all winnable, whereas Buffalo has Dallas, SanDiego, Philly, KC and Miami. Need to win at least 3 and two must be Miami and San Diego to keep pace with the conference. The North have a ton of games against each other so Pittsburg, Cinci, and Cleveland will probably suffer a few more losses each (minimum) in conference. Miami has only two tough games left on their schedule, with Dallas (home) and Baltimore (road). I thought the Bills easiest path to the playoffs was hope for 2 Miami losses, allowing us a loss to Chiefs and Philly then come down to week 18 against Miami for the division. Only way they make it is to take care of business and that means getting the Offense back on track to scoring 30 points per game. The defense is somewhat decimated but they can hold all of these teams under 30. Even KC.

Am primarily using the Sabres own players as comparables and also looking at where the cap is going now that they're in the last year of the players repaying the lockout money they were fronted.
Mittelstadt isn't going to be a 0.52PPG player this year. If the contract hawks are lucky he'll only be a 0.75PPG player. It's below where he's been for going on close to a season now.
Acknowledging where he is trending. If he finishes with 28-30 goals and 40-45 assists then maybe it’s a difference conversation. My point is he hasn’t proven the PPG of a Fiala or Hintz or the consistency in games played or the goals scoring of these two, yet. Those two have 7 year agreements, and Kempe has 4. Kempe, if he continues to perform, to your point will exceed both of those deals in his next contract based on where the cap will be. And his deal might worth more over the course of time. If I’m looking at Mitts and the term is 4 years then it’s a COLA over Kempe, $5.75-$6m. Could there be a recency bias with some of the spacers? Not hating on Casey. I hope he is signed.

Krebs had a 90% xgf, 80% Fenwick, 70% Corsi in his 6 minutes last night (per Money Puck). On the season he is 4th on the team at D-zone shift start % while being one of only 7 players on the team with a corsi of 50% or better.
Not saying he can’t be better, but he isn’t going to generate much offensively playing where he is in the lineup and for the minutes he plays. He is not hurting us defensively.
5 minutes were 5v5, and the Corsi was 2 attempted shots for 1 against. He was 0-3 on the dot, although he has not been that bad throughout the year. Mostly starts in O-zone. Could have been his line mates, but I think the conventional wisdom that he is not bringing anything lately is accurate. Corsi, Fenwick, even high danger chances especially when paired with Z and KO are positive, but something is a miss.

4 years does do that for him. But, can't see him, who one has to assume presumes that he's part of this team's core, settling for a 4 year deal at below market when everybody else on the team that's part of the core that showed up after he did gets 7 or so year deals at / SLIGHTLY below market.
What are you using to define “market”? The comparable I see is Kempe in LA. He had his entry level slide one year followed by a three year bridge like Mitts. Kempe was $2m, Mitts was $2.5m. Kempe then signed a 4x $5.5m deal in July ‘22. Kempe had ~ 100 more games played in the same previous 6 years (year to year equivalents) with about the same PPG. He also potted 35 the final year before the extension. Mitts has peaked at 15 goals. Could he net 35, sure.
So more durability (over the course of six years) and greater goal scoring results by Kempe. And yet Mitts is somehow undervalued at $7M? Don’t see it the same. What is your comparable for a .52 PPG guy entering his final year of RFA with arbitration eligibility? -

Skinny always good to give one away during the PP

Run three lines in the third. Staple Krebs to the bench. Give Savoie a shift or two in Cozens place.
Mix up the lines. Rotate Cozens and Jost.
Cozens cannot be on the ice w/ PP1 to start the period.
Pray for good puck luck.

Lived in SoCal for almost 27 years and there is NOTHING close to a Sahlen. I literally have neighbors who ask me to bring a 3 lb bag back after I visit the family. We used to serve them for parties and the parents would rave about them. Especially served with webers mustard and Teds hot sauce. But with my kids in high school and the shear volume of kids over for a party, coupled with the inflationary cost of a 3 lb bag, N.F.W. they are getting their hands on my f-ing Sahlen hot dog 🌭 .
