NAF

I will say he definitely hit the nail on the head with regards to what went wrong this season.

I'm the biggest Mittelstadt hater on earth but he has legitimately been the Sabres best player through these first 14 games.

I talked to him inbetween periods and he thought so.

Aaaaand Savoie hurts the same shoulder he had surgery on last year. Awesome.

He seems like a good dude but IMO he doesn't really provide any information that, as die hard fans, we don't already know.

Novikov looking good.

They usually stream it on Twitter, Facebook, and the Sabres website.

Seems like Benson has a bit of that Skinner-esque 10-2 skating style. Strong on his edges, probably helps him when working around the net. I like it.

Do you ever have anything positive to say or is it just constant negativity in the form of gibberish and incomplete sentences? What would you have done then? Adams was definitely working the phones trying to make a move...

Eichel not getting Conn Smythe is a small victory.

I think considering the plethora of mid level forward talent in this organization it makes sense to trade up if Michkov falls. He isn't getting past Washington, so it'd have to be with someone before that.

Lets just sign Derek Roy and trade him for Malkin

He has a contract in the KHL. He cannot come over next year.

The only one of these teams I'm really worried about is Ottawa. This year was the beginning of the end for Pitt and Wash. At this point Wash is in limbo until Ovechkin beats Gretzky's record and retires. They need to tear it down. The same goes for Pitt. Neither team has anything in the way of prospects. Detroit tried to fill holes with UFAs and it clearly didn't work -- they also don't have the same level of prospects/young players as Buf or Ott. I will admit though that Yzerman is a great GM and they shouldn't be ignored.

I'm at the point where I roll my eyes when I hear Wawrow. Seems like an okay guy but he asks these long and convoluted questions that often make no sense. As a reporter your job is to be as specific as possible to get exact answers.
