    Agreed. It's bad asset management to let them walk for nothing if they're worth something. And if they're going to walk, we're going to have to find alternative solutions. But I'm not sure we should be turning them out solely for tank's sake.

    It's a tough balance. We need to finish last this year, yet want to finish far from last next year. You could trade out just about any skater on this roster and replace them with either a younger one that sucks now but will be better soon or a veteran via trade or free agency in the off season. But the goalies... I don't know if the kids could perform to Enroth's level next year if Enroth were to be moved. While he has shown to be a threat to the tank, he's also shown is potential to be a useful asset next season. Several us have joked that a great way to tank would be to flip out the two UFA goalies for picks, but after the laughter subsided, it seemed no one had the chutzpah to potentially vex the next season(s) like that.

    There's a gross-ass picture of it if you seek it out.

    By the way, that was a lovely article by Jeremy White. He basically dares other CHL teams to get on our level, but mocks them for not having the guts or brains to do it fast enough. He praises the 'Bres for committing to the tank well before any other team was comfortable doing so, potentially giving us the advantage we needed to run away with this thing.

    I feel like UA jerseys would look weird. Like a cartoonishly obvious lack of heritage. And I'm not happy with Nike after the fugly Team USA jerseys in Sochi. Maybe it's a chance to fix the 3rd.

    I was indifferent about this game until Montreal decided to be little all night. They tried to take liberties with a desperate nothing-to-lose team, and took an embarrassing home loss when that team showed uncommon resiliency. Myers was targeted early (that was an elbow to the head), but he stood up, cleaned up, and fought back. The turning point in his game, oddly enough, was using his stick to literally lift Gallagher off the ice by his nuts. That's what got Gallagher pissy, but Myers was already done putting up with his , and especially wasn't going to do it after the final whistle.

    Pro level analysis: It depends.

    Hahaha, if you play well enough, someone will move you the hell out of here.

    Not super surprising. Word was that Murray was looking for Larkin, Sheahan/Jurco, and a 1st. Larkin's (15th overall) been playing great at UM this season with 30 points in 21 games, Sheahan (21st overall) has been gradually developing, Jurco (35th overall) has showed more promise with a point per game last year in the A. In other words, the assets that were asking for started to show their potential ability at higher levels, likely increasing their price. That said, Detroit has worked their way well back into the playoff hunt, and may be more desperate or willing to surrender assets to settle their blue line.

    But now Meszaros can sleep at night.

    Maybe it's him.

    Not sure about tonight. Maybe another loss, as Price is hot. We do have a home stand of STL, DAL, NYI, OTT, and PHI coming up after this one. We have enough to hate to squeeze out three points there somewhere I think.

    They've turned tanking into a tax-deductable charitable venture.

    It's a grueling death march we slog, but we must endure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9hNNXMfBIs

    We must drive the horde of mongrels to the top of the graph!

    Our season pace is currently only one point lower than last year. Hang in there baby!

    Oh, I know. But at the moment, I choose to ignore that.

    So in five picks, you could pull something like: Perrault, Girgensens, Andreychuk, McKee, and Tallinder. That's about a third of an NHL team. On a Cup-winning team, that's a franchise player, two top six guys (maybe Z is 3rd line, maybe), a top-pair shutdown D, and a #3 D.
  22. IKnowPhysics
    Selected Sabres draft picks near these positions: 1/2: Sam Reinhart, Pierre Turgeon, Gilbert Perrault 15ish: Zemgus Girgensens, Jay McKee, Brad May, Calle Johansson, Ric Seilig, Larry Playfair 16ish: Nikita Zadorov, Dimitri Kalinin, Marty Biron, Dave Andreychuk 31ish: Brendan Lemiuex, JT Compher, Derek Roy, Cory Sarich, Jason Dawe, Benoit Hogue, Danny Gare 45ish: Eric Cornel, Justin Bailey, Jake McCabe, Jhonas Enroth, Hank Tallinder, Curtis Brown

    It keeps slipping my mind that we have more than one first round draft pick. I haven't even begun to think about what we should do there. We, and by we, I mean everyone, including the entire team's god damned win-loss record, have been so focused on McEichel. If the standings are an indication, and they're not, we also have the 24th and 28th picks (and 31st and 54th). 1 or 2 overall and five of the top 54ish! If the Blues and Islanders drop the first rounds, we could have, roughly: 1/2, 15, 16, 31, and 45. My tank is so hard right now.

    Exactly right, but only this bolded part. Wherever he plays, he'll mature off ice as he plays, regardless of whether he plays in the AHL or NHL. He'll encounter adversity, overcome it, and he'll likely be better for it. He learned a lesson about conditioning and addressed it. He's learned a lesson about time management(?) and I expect, after a talk with the bosses, he'll learn from that too. I'm only concerning myself about which league he plays in based on his level of play and whether or not the league is good for the development of his game. But that right there is a pretty good reason to miss practice.

    He'd have to clear waivers.
