Welcome to the board. Speaking of God, I hope to God you are right.

Given how terrible the Sabres have been drafting. you could have fooled me.

The underlined reads like a plot of a bad romantic comedy.

Good for him.

Is that anything like "Marklar"?

Maybe we can keep Reinhart with $7M? That's where I am absolutely willing to go.

To quote the old "Bugs Bunny - Road Runner Hour": Daffy Duck: Last week, you said I could host next week. Bugs Bunny: Right. But this isn't 'next week'. Daffy Duck: Your dog gone tooth it isn't. This is 'this week' and 'next week' is uh, is, uh, hmm. (Daffy heads off the stage.) This week was 'next week' last week, so that makes 'this week' 'last week' next week...

Where would you get that idea? Honestly, I find that broad generalisation very hurtful. Just because I am not Christian does not mean I am anti-Christian.

Cascading @LGR4GM's original and @PerreaultForever's response. Waitaminnit, waitaminnit, waitaminnit. If you are arguing that the teams is built wrong as a response to Dahlin being neutered by Kruger, are you arguing some variation that Dahlin is part of the improper building? It sure looks that way.

For those with more information, is it possible that both the Sabres and Jack Eichel have a change of heart if his neck is actually healing slowly, but not fast enough for him, and the Sabres get a coach that he's excited about? Or is it already bust? It looks like they both considered this last year, so I imagine it is already beyond repair. Oddly, with no one in the arenas most of the year, last off-season was the prime time to trade Jack Eichel because it would not have affected attendance.

I did a bit of this when I was trying to form an opinion on whom to protect with the defencemen. That's why I would expose Ristolainen: virtually every available defenceman of his calibre will be cheaper and everyone in his price range who could be available is better. There literally is no good reason for Seattle to take him.

I have seen a lot of this over the years, in particular with actors. More infamously, depending on duration and severity, this could be Penn State all over again.

I am also going to check some important people I remember: Joe Crozier, Frank Christie, Jim Pizzutelli, Pat Hannigan, etc. Mods, can we have this pinned? I think it is important that we remember these people from years gone by. Younger fans can learn a bit about them and we older fans can reminisce. Anyone else remember Hannu Virta?

Research mathematician. A paradoxical reaction to Paxil nixed that.

I was asked the same thing when I interviewed for my current job. "You have done literally everything in the tech stack multiple times for multiple years in multiple types of infrastructure. Why aren't you a manager?" "I liked what I was already doing at the time better." Seems obvious to me.

The natural question to ask, then, is why did they do that?

I will start at some point. I am curious as to who is around. We also would need to keep up each season.

Jean Guy Talbot is 88

This one?

I have one from my Dad's village that was used against the Mughals after the martyrdom of Guru Arjun in 1606.

Oh, boy! Geekdom! Actually, the multiverse model of Max Tegmark and Brian Greene is that it is theoretically possible that every possible outcome leads to its own reality. For those who are interested, the levels of multiverse are: 1. Our universe is extended to other copies with different Hubble Volumes. A quick look-up says this comes from the assumption that the universe is uniform and isotropic in its properties. In this case, imagine a large volume with little bubble universes inside of it. 2. Other universes exist with different physical constants (speed of light, Maxwell-Boltzman constant, the universal gravitational constant, etc.). So an alternate reality has light travelling faster and you weigh less with the same mass. 3. The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. This takes the idea of randomness at the quantum level and says that the different universes above arise from the different variations of what this randomness does. So in all realities, No Goal happens, but in some, Jay McKee never gets the staph infection and the Sabres win the Cup in 2006. 4. What @pi2000 cited is called "the ultimate ensemble." We then can go into the question of whether there are countably infinite or uncountably infinite universes. (IMHO, if we have that every choice leads to a new reality, then the number has to be uncountably infinite by a Cantor diagonalisation argument.)

Just wondering: Considering that teams were asking about Eichel before the season, shouldn't GMKA already have had a feel for what the minimum people would offer for Eichel from a rookie GM they were trying to fleece? And if someone made a genuine offer, then he would have a standard against which to measure offers now, right? The reason I ask is that I don't think that GMKA asking for a half dozen pieces with a lot of high-end prospects came out of nowhere. Someone probably offered a roster player, a couple of decent but long-range prospects, a cap dump, and a couple of picks last off-season. Probably one or two teams offered a top prospect as well. I imagine a team offered two very good, but not top, prospects. He probably stitched all that together, threw out the chaff, turned the quality up to 11, and made that his starting point.

Does someone have a history of the Land of Fa somewhere? I can find little clips on YouTube, but it has a history everyone should know on a Buffalo sports board.

The sky-high asking price might also be a message from GMKA to Eichel: you may want out and I may want you out, but there is no King of the Land of Fa's version of the Queen Elizabeth Way that he will be pressured into a deal by the Eichel camp. I personally figure if he gets 5 or more pieces that at least 1 will be a conditional first based on Eichel's games played and such.
