There are no players on the current roster, or anywhere in the Sabre's system, who were drafted more than 5 years ago by Buffalo. They're essentially an expansion team heading into year #5 of existence.

No live stream, only audio on WGR...

Interesting. I like it.

sacrilege!

He seems to lay an egg in game 1 every once in a while, then has an MVP type season. I expect no different this year.

40 goal season playing Jack's wing... in 2020-21.

it's from golfing too much, and i'm addicted to it, so i'm trying to dial back, but life is too short haha i'll try stretching and whatnot, it's not completely debilitating, really only notice it on my back swing when golfing, but it's been almost a month now and only slight improvement.

J. Winston seemed to have fixed it. He had the same issue Darnold has... long loopy motion due to a heavy baseball background. https://www.fanragsports.com/nfl/improved-mechanics-allowing-jameis-winston-reach-next-level/

If he can fix it tho? http://www.ocregister.com/2017/07/02/usc-qb-sam-darnold-retooling-throwing-motion/

tennis elbow won't go away

Goooood article on Darnold... https://www.thebuffalostar.com/2017/09/bills-2018-qb-watch-part-i-sam-darnold/

Princeton grad.... I've met him a few times out here both on and off the ice. He's a very intelligent articulate guy... not your typical meathead goon.

Just get rid of the challenge aspect and automatically review all goals (for offsides, high stick, etc) upstairs. Should be quick and easy with today's tech.

The typical strategy I've used over the years is to pick the favored home team with the largest point spread. This week it's the Bills. That said, I picked the Steelers.

Is anybody gonna go give Will Butcher a warm Buffalo welcome tomorrow night?

No, like rakish said, 1p ET Sunday is the deadline. If you want to pick the Thur game, you need to submit the pick before kickoff.

The Hockey News in general has been lacking the past few years (I'm a long time subscriber), but this article is spot on.

I foresee him getting 6-10 min/gm on a 4th line with Moulson and Girgensons.

Rudolph or bust.

A defensively skilled center who can offload ROR so he's not completely worn out by Christmas (due to his vegan diet induced anemia).

WITH A TITLE HUNT IN MIND, PI2000 RACKS UP PASS CATCHERS Draft Grade: A+ Proj Record: 11-3 Proj Finish: 2

IMO the worst case is he re-injures the ankle and misses the majority of the season after needing surgery to repair torn tendons that didn't completely heal the first time around. The team finishes bottom 5 in the league again. JBOT presents a low-ball offer or a bridge deal. Eichel refuses, accepts an offer sheet for $7.8mil/yr from LVK, and JBOT refuses to match because of health concerns and needing to sign Sam Reinhart who did well in Eichel's abscence. The compensation from LVK is a first, second and third round pick in 2019. LVK finishes dead last in 2018-19 but BUF losses the 1st overall pick in the lottery to TOR who selects generational talent Jack Hughes... paired with Auston Matthews they win multiple Cups... no wait..... scratch that... Hughes replaces a disheveled Auston Matthews who is dealt to LVK for a gimpy Jack Eichel who resurrects his game leading TOR to multiple Cups alongside Jack Hughes and Co. BUF finishes second last in the league, wins the lottery in a weak draft moving up from 2 to 1 to select a middling defensive prospect.

Interesting quote from the article... "Player stats in hockey can only be analyzed within the team." ...this is why I came up the team relative +/-, which is a reflection of how much a player helps or hurts the team within the context of the team's overall performance. That said, Risto, while logging a -9 +/-, had a +7 TRpm this past season.

Personally I blame Paul Hamilton as the only reason Jack isn't signed yet.
