Broken Ankles

If Terry waits just two more weeks, do you know how many more of these he can buy???

Good insight. Of course they would not consider a suspension. $5k is nothing to him.

This might have legs. I laughed out loud when I read this yesterday. Not sure who is the creator but thanks.

Friedman reported last night that Carolina is close to an extension with Rod.

Plus the rules on moving up a maximum of 10 positions helps their chances for a top 2.

Why do you assume # 4? You think another team will finish below Buffalo?

How in the F is that not a penalty against Reinhardt?

Scoop there it is....

At what point does he get healthy scratched? This cannot continue. Liability.

Gretchen is to Inkman as Fetch is to "ball-slapping".

Not sure his missed break away deserves it’s own thread. But, his poor metrics, invisible man like contributions, overall suckatude and the fact he is signed through 2022 and should be a leading candidate for a June buyout, dat deserves its own thread. #ihatecodyeakin.

I see your 16, and raise you 27 (PP).

Can you parlay with the "spread"? If you give the Sabres 1.5 goals, you can get Pitt -$130. This way you avoid the over/under. I saw you won last night, but relying on the Sabres to score 2 or more is tough. And if Linus starts, he could keep it close. Linus could be an all-star and they still lose by two.

Pittsburgh is -350 tonight. Glad to see Buffalo getting the respect they deserve with the Vegas oddsmakers. Mums Wilt If Linus cant start, it's...

Sounds like a lot of our current roster.

Angelo also interfered with Risto, but of course no call.

Much Why

And the same could be said for Joki. Who is more valued by the rest of the league come April? A higher priced vet with one year to UFA or a cost controlled RFA? If you are hell-bent on keeping Mitts and committed to 7/3 then trade the one with greater returns. Bias aside, I think the larger return is Risto. But know that if it’s Risto who is traded, you had better get size and experience elsewhere. A top 4 of Dahlin/Borgen/Bryson/Joki is just a recipe for disaster. If JB is still enthralled with Joki, as a concept or a roster player, then see if you can work out a deal to have Seattle take him as a package. The Sabres get something in return, and this allows you pry either Foote or Cernak from Tampa. That’s a real ‘Sophie’s Choice’ of defensemen. Not the off-off Broadway version we are watching at Studio Arena.

I can see KA open to trading Risto, but there is no chance Risto is exposed before Joki or Borgen. I’d actually prefer Borgen be protected before Joki. I think some like the “concept of Joki” , instead of the guy who can’t win puck battles, or clear the front of the net, or exit the d-zone. Replacement level in almost every game this season.

This. Sunken Cost principle.

Carter Hart had similar numbers in the AHL with fewer games. About .500 win %, 3.05 GAA, .902 save %. Drafted in same round. Started 18 months earlier. He’s ready......and @pi2000 said he will allow it, so there’s that.

After tonight’s win against Philly, the NJ Devils are closer to a playoff position (8 points) than falling below the Sabres for last place (12 points).
