It's free agency, not negative Nancy day. Enjoy a decent humpday, occasionally check your Twitters for trade rumors, and chuckle at the ridiculous contracts offered. Lord knows we've seen enough.

Think it's probably the best we could get from an RFA Reinhart - at the least put wheels in motion towards the change in culture. He wasn't signing past RFA, why gamble until the deadline ... then what, they're looking at a guaranteed 20+ 1st rounder? Obviously could get more, could get less, but the risk/reward of keeping Samonsite on the roster for a possible deadline trade is questionable at best.

Thread is going off the rails, but in other news, I'm glad "John" is official. One step further, "The Other Johnny Hockey" (™ pending).

They would never!

I hate Vegas' social media.

[Sabres fans]: Well, [Buffalo], I just ... I underestimated you. [Buffalo]: Yeah, well, maybe next time you will estimate me.

They couldn't even keep the expansion draft under control

Just take all of 'em, easy

Well, damn... that's a healthy return. This draft is bonkers, so happy with any pick in the top 15. Thanks, Chuck, hope you just flipped the market for Samson and John (No, I do not care if he prefers "Jack"). Hah, apt metaphor, I'll take it.

Im sure HockeyBuzz will source it from me, expect an E4 tomorrow. /s

Samson and Risto for McDavid confirmed

I was never there besides a game day, and it was typically packed. Food was mediocre at best. Drinks were meh, not a great tap list. Enjoyed the restaurant at Harborcenter much more.. their smoked manhattans were good.

Optimistic note: Hammer parlays on the under and puck line rest of the year. I'll have like 30 season tickets.. wait.. no.

Im not on the fire Ralph train, yet. We've been burning through coaches more than we've scored goals. Something is structurally wrong with the organization.

I've lost all sense of optimism and can't even think of a ***** pun to describe my apathy. It's all psychological from here on out.

Same. I don't like their regular stuff, aside from mixers, but this is pretty damn good. Like the label says, its heavily vanilla, baking spice, and caramel to really turn it into more of a dessert whiskey... I havent tried with ice or adding a drop of water (usually like it neat, but might experiment), I think $60 or $70, It's worth it. The Woodford Double Oaked Private Selection Barrel from Premier (as opposed to the regular Double Oaked) on the other hand, I don't know what they chose as far as barreling - no info on the label, but it is the biggest oak bomb that I've tasted. Usually like oak in a whiskey, but this is like oak with hints of bourbon. Had some Uigeadail the other night; still may favorite obtainable whisk(e)y... aside from it jumping in price 20 bucks over the last year or so.

Hahah of course; Trying my best to get some sabres in the lineup, my lord is it tough right now.

I'm cold.

Agreed, I was only responding to the comment Skinner won't be here. We have no salary retention currently, I know there's nil chance we retain 50%, but for the sake of the initial comment, Skinner at 50% retention, is of value... we'd need to receive one hell of a sweetener carrying a 4.5m burden for 7 years. Realistically, I don't foresee a Skinner trade.

It's not a big deal lol... just expected Hall, albeit for a pretty arbitrary reasons, getting a chance in the SO.

I don't know how it's done without significant salary retention, not to mention his NMC. However, based on his usage, and little sign its changing... I dont think he'd be too upset waiving it.

Surprised Ralph didnt give Hall the chance to close it out against the Devils, but happy with a W, despite another OT winner.

didn't work this time, damnt

Callin it... Dahlin clapper in net..

well, primary assist, fine. that'll do
