Couldn't it be a mixture? Those coaches and/or GMs and/or players at that point in history were not good enough? I think the reasons for underperformance are more nuanced than are discussed. Counterpoint though, the direction of the franchise must, surely, be guided by the owners who are the common denominator in all this. And, perhaps, we have seen in remarks from KA that the whole culture must change and this season we could see evidence when he has "his" guys in place.

We have a saying over here that seems apt... he has deep pockets and short arms.

That would be some serious dark ***** if KA convinced Skinner to waive the NMC then got seattle to take him. Wouldn't be against it to be honest.

How do we feel about giraffopusses?

Gawd, the forward crop makes for depressing reading, eh?

If we do pick Power, and if he plays well enough for a call up at seasons end. How many games does he (or any other similarly positioned prospect) get before a year of ELC is burned?

Reading more about it, it seems to have happened a few days ago.

No. It was suggested by Michel Platini to celebrate 60 years of the Euro Championships but got postponed from last summer due to COVID.

Tierney got injured in warm ups. We didn't play well. Oh well onto England on Friday! Should be fun (My in-laws are English so I fully expect text abuse if we are horrible).

Disappointing to go in 1 down. Relying too much on Andy Robertson on the left. We need a bit more creativity on the opposite side.

Lunchtime spent getting the class sorted: Mon eh Scotlaaaaaaaand!

Reinhart to Ottawa for Brady?

My boss emailed all staff in our school to let us know we can down tools and watch the Scotland game tomorrow. That was nice of him.

F that guy

I liked what I saw from Comtois at the worlds. Would love him and Zegras in any trade involving eichel.

This year doesn't count. And it only applies to moving up through the lottery, not being last and getting 1oa.

I had custard bao buns tonight. They were fantastic.

I really hope habs and Isles make the final. It'll be funny to see the talking heads loose their ***** when there's 6 goals in the whole series 😂

It's not just you 😂 F*ck Hall

Or perhaps he likes a different player better and their stat nerds agree with him? FWIW I would pass on Power for Beniers.

Very good analysis of the draft from a Sabres perspective by Will Scouch on xBuffalo podcast. https://www.expectedbuffalo.com/buffalo-sabres-expected-podcast/ Really outlines the reasons I would prefer Beniers to Power.

We are all going to be so disappointed this summer aren't we.

Zegras and comtois in some sort of package for Eichel gets my attention.

I don't get the impression Power plays a heavy game despite his size. The reports on Beniers all comment on what a great worker, 2 way player he is. That appeals to me. I voted Beniers.

Me too
