I'm not sure Arizona is in 'great' shape if the Cap does not move. They have $75M committed with only 9 Forwards signed. Not much you can get with $6M or about $1.5/player. Unless they offload other players they haven't the space to sign Hall. The shortened season might close the book on that trade as a swing and a miss. The Yotes are 5th from the bottom in the West, and will be in the lottery. So unless they win the lottery, they will be sending a high 1st round draft pick this year along with their 2021 3rd to NJ for what? Not including their prospects that were included.

One the greatest monologues in cinematic history. Well written, and performed even better. He won the 1988 Academy Award for that role. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

#2 - your take is in line with one Carl Icahn. Amazing what Wall Street will create for investments. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/13/icahn-reveals-his-biggest-short-position-amid-market-turmoil-commercial-real-estate.html

If Terry and Kim can make what appears to be a colossally poor decision as it pertains to game-day workers, why should we believe he is going pull the cord on the GM? He is literally the 6th wealthiest NHL owner and struggles to commit payments for hourly employees who are clearly suffering. Jeremy Jacobs is getting roasted in Boston (and rightfully so) for an equally insensitive and business first attitude. Probably not a coincidence they are friends. But the Pegula's beyond bad decision making as it pertains to part-time workers amid the pandemic seems par for the course. Exiting JB early would require forethought, awareness, and perception. In other words, opposite of what has recently manifested from the executive suites at the Harbor Center. I felt like a GM change was a 50/50 before the shortened season, and feel like it has fallen to 30/70 at this point.

Jim was great on and off the ice. A gentleman and great teacher of the game. I hope to thank Jim when my lottery numbers come in and #8 is selected as the Powerball.

Has anyone seen McMillions on HBO? As far as documentaries go this could have been done a lot better and edited down to about two hours, but the story is fascinating and the characters involved are engaging. It’s all about one guy who ran security for the Marketing company McDonalds used for Monopoly game in the 90’s, and how he was able to steal all the winning pieces ($100k to $1,000,000) and distribute to a network of friends and family.

Regardless of who is on your F3 line, if your penciling in MoJo or Kahun on your second line, we are not going to the playoffs for a 10th year. Especially with the current options you offered in net. MoJo needs to be on the third line with a hopefully mature and more polished Cozens. When the Sabres win the lottery, I can see a path for the new GM packaging MoJo in a trade as we would have a surplus at LW.

For those keeping score at home, we have Triumph and GA as defense attorneys for the defendant. Everyone else as prosecutors. Amirite?

If anything, RFK took a layer of toxicity away from Risto and will make more than a few GMs in need of a D-man consider something they might not have last summer. That said, he gone.

I can see this happening if it's a new GM, or J.B. returning for one more year. If it's a new GM, he (or she - cannot have the presumption of bias pervading my post) gets a free look for one year before committing anything long term, or trade as you suggest. And if Terry is on the fence about JB does he really allow/approve an 8 year extension?

When I was boy, Goalies didn't wear masks. They ate rubber, and had no teeth......and they liked it!

Cirelli with an awesome cross check of Chara. I’m on the bus to try and pry him out of TB.

This!

Just get it to a shoot out. Guaranteed W.

Agree to not rush him to the PK, especially this one. But the tandem of Dahlin and Miller should get a chance to be top pair over Risto and Montour at 5v5. If nothing else it’s a measuring stick on progress.

The Dahlin/Miller pairing is playing better together each game. Why are they not getting a chance to play as top pair? Does Kruger believe there is some other advantage of playing Dahlin against lower lines? I have no idea, but agreed a chance should be provided to another pairing.

LGR - Are you taking notes? School’s in, son. You should probably send a ? and move on. Great analysis.

Wayne is playing for a contract. Should I mention the intangible - motivation. He gets two points. If Ennis can score in his debut as an Oiler so can Simmonds with the Sabres. Memo to Carter.....

The dude missed 27 games total in 9 years in Buffalo. What's one level below Iron? Maybe in his later years where it was reported he was not in good physical condition and used his skill to get by you could question effort, but just b/c a player isn't skating around with his head on fire and hitting everything in sight does not mean there was no effort. Also with respect to your Reinhart comparison- When Thomas signed his contract in 2007 with an AAV of $7.14M, that was over 14% of the team cap. So you should feel good about a $7.5-$8M number for Sam as that would only be 9%.

You, a dissenter? Shut the front door. You cannot blame Thomas for the mistakes of Darcy at the end of his career or the restrictions imposed on the GM by ownership. He was a pure goal scorer. Questionable ethics as it pertains to gambling, but solid on the ice. Your an effort guy. Thomas brought his lunch pail to work each day. How can you not respect that?

If you are looking for a new #2, sure makes more sense. You carry a $2m cap hit for him in the A, no harm. If you need the space to sign a #1 the hit is only $916K. You pick up a $1M extra in 2020, and lose it in 2021. I don't think he's going to either, so it just mental *****.

Waiving worked for Bogo, and could work for Carter. But this July there are three top tier UFA's that will not be available in coming years. A buyout this June saves $1.8M in 20/21, with a hit of only $916K for the next two. I'm using that space to pursue Holtby, Markstom or Murray.

Why would you say it's stupid? Stupid would be to rolling into 2021 expecting different results from the ineffective duo currently minding net.
