Bob McKenzie retweeted Bill Hoppe ‏@BillHoppeNHL 8m8 minutes ago Murray also said the Sabres have signed Jason Akeson. Another legit forward for Rochester.

Yeah Bluewater, ON, which is or is near his hometown.

That's fine. My Mom's dentist was the father in law of Mike Peca and would know stuff, when knowing stuff about Mike Peca was a thing to know.

By the way, I've been monitoring flight plans for the PegulaJet all day. It left from BNIA around 10am to pick someone up or drop someone off at Savannah/Hilton Head around noon/1pm today and returned to BNIA around 3pm. My guess: someone's golfing this morning and they got picked up to return in time for the press conference. CoughTerrycough. Also possibly ROR; no word on his whereabouts.

What's the source? Not who, per se, but can you characterize what their contact is or how they know? I mean, I totally believe that he's genuinely happy to be here. He wouldn't have the the goofy vine if he wasn't. Just curious.

Developing players go to development camp.

Paul Hamilton retweeted Craig Custance ‏@CraigCustance 2m2 minutes ago Johnny Oduya sitting on a very good offer but veteran defenseman will be patient in his decision-making today.

He'll be a future Scrooge McDuck.

Well, the Habs DID go out and acquire Zack Kassian.

#Lidstrom #NotReally

Maybe the past three years.

Still some names out there that would make a big difference for us. Not many of the players of the type we need have been taken off the list.

Yeah, $7.5M aav doesn't make much sense... $7.300M makes more sense, based on the compensation.

Has received or has signed?

Yeah, that's nice. Countdown until the first Eichel face tattoo on a fan?

And that's about as big a smile as you'll get from GMTM:

Oh these next 20 years are going to be so sweet.

This is a weird new trend: Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 6m6 minutes ago As @mirtle said, first-round pick the Leafs got from Pitt is lottery-protected. If Pens miss the playoffs, first-rounder becomes 2017 pick Haha, BURN PENGUINS BURN: Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 1m1 minute ago Kessel all along was No. 1 target for Penguins even though they did try on Ryan O'Reilly last week and Brandon Saad yesterday...

I mentioned Fasching because we have prospect depth at RW and he's about the quality of player that NYR would command. Larsson could be useful on the big squad this year, and he had a hell of a run last year, finishing with 13 points in his last 17 games. Though, I won't argue hypotheticals in an "actual" thread too much.

A middle-ish prospect (like Fasching, et al) and a 2nd rounder. He'd be a great plug into the current top four, a good, young AND veteran presence at 28, with one year left on his contract.

"You'll get nothing and like it!"

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC 7m7 minutes ago The one-way deal simply assures Cal O'Reilly is well paid, and can be a depth player for the #Sabres. Has cleared waivers past 3 N.A. years.

Keeping Ryan happy aside, that's actually a nice pickup for Rochester. Cal puts up points in the A.

Bob's being a comedian: Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m1 minute ago O'Reilly signs with BUF. Two year deal at $700K per. One way deal. That's CAL O'Reilly, Ryan's older brother. Guess we know who's next.
