I’m sure its been asked before, but why do college lacrosse goalies have next to nothing in terms of padding/protection, but these indoor goalies look ridiculous with padding that makes them look like they weight 300 pounds?

It's not really a cap problem when you have the core of your young team locked up for years in what will be seen as very reasonable contracts.
…but it is a problem if said core is overpaid.

I said it last summer and I will say it now, KO & Girgs were a waste of two roster spots and $5mil in cap space. Now the question is, who does Adam bring in(and hopefully not promote from within) to replace them.

Did they finally run out of staff at the HarborCenter Kiddie Academy to promote?

He may have donned a Sabres sweater, even coached them for 15 years, but Ruff hasn’t been part of the Sabres for over 10 years. He’s your outsider or “breath of fresh air” and he’s the one who is the most important of them all. It just looks like he surrounded himself with people who know these players inside and out. That shouldn’t take away what type of coach Lindy is.
You don’t think KA knows the players, and if you wanted someone from the former coaching staff, he could have made due with 1 coach, not 3 or more.

Ellis, Wilford, Appert…organizational status quo. Expect more of the same in terms of the roster come this summer.

Isn’t Oloffson considered Sabres property until the day FA begins?

Walk into an M&T branch and need a customer service rep. Instead of getting someone in a cubicle, I get a staffer at a standing desk not even 3 feet from where others are waiting.
Sorry, but I don’t need others to hear about my finances.

The likelihood of a trade involving the Sabres pick is close to the three percent chance the team had to get Celebrini.
It is fun to think about the possibilities and I hope KA does his job and listens to offers and initiates some of his own. They have been drafting better in the last few years, imo. As others have said, the drafting of 18 year olds is a crapshoot and it gets tougher to find NHL talent the deeper you go.
Is Lindstrom the next Tocchet or PL Dubois?
Parekh could be Makar or DeAngelo.
Iginla could be the second coming or Dillon Dube.
Trading #11 for an established player would make a statement on multiple levels. It would certainly get my attention.
For a top 6 or even an above average 3C with term, it might have to be 11 + prospect(or Joker).

UFA in the NHL is fools gold. We need to trade prospects and picks for players.
Not for bottom 6 forwards. 3-4 new forwards not currently on the Sabres/Amerks/Jrs need to be brought in this summer.

There was also a deaf wrestler on Canadian wrestling. His name escapes me.

Canadian Pro wrestling was also a must.
Only a WNY geezer(and Ontario geezers) would remember Billy Red Lyons. 😊

Maybe I am nitpicking, but a “little bit more physicality and a little bit more grit”? 😂😂😂
How about replacing “little bit” with “ A LOT”.
Statements like this make me believe they will sign maybe one grit guy for the bottom 6, and then run it back with the same crap or promote from Rochester.
Prove me wrong KA.

Complaining about ailments and things not working anymore?
Yes!!! 😂

Maybe we should leave this as an open thread to discuss all “geezer” related issues? 😂😂😂

Are you there yet? I beat you by a few months. Pro tip: don't get a Medicare Advantage plan. Get A & B plus gap and prescription plans. You'll pay more now but but you're better off in the long run.
My options are limited because my retirement health insurance goes through the state…including the Medicare plans…but thx anyways.

I am down 23 pounds since January. I have been doing weight training, walking, golf, eliminating bad food, almost no sweets/deserts, and cutting way back on alcohol.
I am 65, retired for 3 years, and man do I feel great. Gonna keep it going.
Awesome!! You should be my inspiration.

It will be interesting to see if they sign any free agents. I'm cool waiting for the kids to mature into men, but I'd be happy if they over paid for several three year veterans who adds skill and toughness to the bottom six
Fixed your post. 😉

My neighbors across the street are building an extension on their house. They started the framing yesterday. During their break, the workers were laying down napping in my yard. I went outside and told them they were in the wrong yard and one responded “what did you say?”. I said it again and then got nothing but “no English”.
We stayed at a condo complex in Florida for a few weeks this winter. Wife had told me the ladies room bathroom in the pool area had an empty soap dispenser for several days. So the next morning I see one of the staff that cleaned the pool bathrooms daily. I said to him, “the ladies room bathroom…”, he cuts me off and replies…”no speak english” and walks away. 🖕🏻

After reading the two Athletic articles on this clown who owned the Coyotes, there is no way the NHL is ever going back to Phoenix with him as the owner….even if they have to fund(behind the scenes) a campaign to prevent a new arena from happening within this 5 year window.

I really feel KA will bring in ONE gritty player for the 4th line, promote the rest from within, and proclaim the problem is solved.
