He said as much on the Greg Tompsett Sports Show. Ottawa made an offer, Buffalo made an offer and they picked Ottawa with no opportunity for Buffalo to counter.

The team is playing pretty well and home games are still pretty empty, I doubt giving the fan base a jolt is worth departing from the plan for KA. We're going to be paying Power and Dahlin big contracts, how many guys you want to give 7M+ on D to?

8 posts in before getting an ignore, that's an accomplishment. This post seems to reveal a lot about your character.

That would seem to play against what the coach wants to do though - develop players they draft. Article in the Athletic said he'd prioritize development over playoffs this season.

Somebody took a page out of his buddy Dion's book in communicating directly to the fans. Nice letter.

I don't really understand this. So the NHL draft is really such a crapshoot that you can draft a foreign kid and he can just basically ignore you for 2 years, go play in college or a lower league and just become a UFA if over 20 or go back into the draft if under 20? Looks like the rules for USA players are a little more onerous, but basically they would just need to finish college and wait a few months, right? What is the motivation for anyone to sign with the team that drafted them?

When he wasn't drinking he would ask for a glass of apple juice just to keep up appearances.

Thanks everyone!

Hi all. This is the first season in YEARS that I have been consistently watching Sabres games again. Following my yearly purge of all Bills-related follows on twitter when they inevitably break my heart I've decided I want to start following hockey twitter more. Can you recommend some accounts that would help me both with general hockey knowledge and more Sabres-related content? Thanks!

Sabres have been pretty good since I started following the team again. This is normal right?

https://hockeyanswered.com/how-the-nhl-entry-draft-works-a-complete-guide/ This is where I got my limited info from. Don't they have 2 years to sign a pro contract or they go back into the draft if they are under 20 or become UFAs if they are over? I'm not pretending to be informed. I'm just confused by the NHL draft system, which I just started trying to understand.

Why would any 18 year old sign with the team that drafts them if they can just go to college for 2 years and then sign with whomever they want? The structure of these contracts is weird.

of course. I was upset til I saw him without a hat and realized he looks like a spinster from the dust-bowl during the great depression

Hoping for Lekkerimaki

Ok this is nice. Happy with this one.

That guy just wasted 2 minutes of my life.

I have no reason to be as excited as I am right now. Someone tell me whether I should be happy or outraged at our pick and I will react accordingly.

This French this is such a time waste

I've only ever been to college hockey in person. Is there tailgating or something of the sort for NHL games?

1 point is the magic number for Dallas right? Vegas is only still in it if Dallas loses and Vegas wins?

So Vegas would need Dallas and Nashville to lose out and they would need to win out right?
