The Jokeman

That was before we added Ellis. That said sorry Levi you're stuck here unless we get a really great offer or he proves he's not a NHL goalie.

1)If he can stay healthy his numbers should get better 2)He's 24 which is still young in NHL years 3)IF he does get more playing time with 2nd line players realistically his stats could go up because has better talent around him. 4)False hope for all of the above.

Fire up more Tuch to Toronto rumors. Yet if I'm the Sabres I don't entertain it at all.

Greenway and Norris.

At the same time they also have to see if Ellis worth a NHL roster spot long term. I move UPL as his long term future here to me looks bleak.

UPL similar to Ullmark in that sense. Sad to say I think UPL likely going to get moved this season. Hopefully we get something of value you for him see a NHL caliber player back and maybe a 3rd round draft pick.

I'm assuming you meant current players? Tough call for sure. I love Tuch and loved Mogilny yet not sure how much longer the former be with us. Ironically Peca goat head only Sabres jersey I own. I'll say Tuch but Doan and Quinn on my short list too.

Yeah it's real and get the feeling of being old.

There's the Jarmo connection an at 24 this kid has a chance to only get better. Yet to me his middle forward that best suited for 3rd line but looking for 2nd line minutes. Maybe with the Zucker injury we might add him but Columbus not looking for picks and not sure we have players to give.

Maybe it's the hair but are we sure, he's a he?

It depends on the compensation, if we get a bottom pair Dman and top 6 forward back I'd take it. As I'll admit think Power is the poster child (next to Cozens) of guys who got paid way to early in their careers and have hurt this team more than helped.

Is Trent Frederic not a forward?

See if can get Trent Federick and Stuart Skinner from them. Yet it's likely a pipe dream.

I get we got Ellis late and he still has to get accolated to the team but I'd hope he gets in sooner than later. As Lyon has been solid but not spectacular thus far which makes him a fine backup but if we're counting him on 50-60 games to me that's a mistake.

Welp either KA has made a brilliant move and we have a goalie to pair with Levi for the next 3-4 seasons to see if one can became our #1 or we just tanked the coming season. Tough to say

Keep him as far away from Buffalo for at least two more seasons.

Ideally he's a 2C but on this squad he gets top billing as nobody else good enough unless keep Thompson there.

I messed up, I just assumed Ulf and Kjell were brothers.

HIs father and uncle played in the NHL, he should have good genes and learned something from them. Note I said should.

I'm shaking my head at the entire list. Yet the cascada song? How in the HE double hockey sticks did that even make it. I'll admit I submitted the chorus to Cuz at least it's up to date and admit it's catchy as all heck and seems that it seems everyone I've run into enjoys it.

The only way we'd win the lottery is if we were discussing relocating to a smaller market like or someplace the NHL doesn't want to go. Hamilton comes to mind but as bad as we've been we're not going anywhere unless Terry sold the team to a bunch of Canadian investors.

Yeah he should go right next to Ben Bishop and Steven Reinprecht.

I'll agree with you on this Benson take.

Fine but we didn't replace him IMO.

See JJP. But I know I know you feel we won't miss his production.
