I was there for that. Everyone was mystified and confusion quickly turned to anger for Bruins fans. Hillllllarrrrious. Didn't quite outdo the Eli Manning trade announcement though. Everything was swell until after the trade announcement started at 8:49 until the full terms at 9:17... Crowd: YEAAHHHHHHH [and their 1st and 3rd round picks in next year's draft] AWWWWBOOOOOOOOOO

Flaccid. Must win.

Note that Skinner's never scored more than 63 points in a season, but he's been averaging 28 goals per season over the last five. I think he's due for a raise over his current $5.75M AAV, and he would attract significant attention on the open market. I think anything less than $6.5M would be favorable to the Sabres. $8M would account for his open-market value and very likely keep him here with an offer he'd be foolish to turn down. Not many LWs make more than $8M. Highest paid LWs: Ovechkin $9.54M Benn $9.5M Parise $7.5M Bobby Ryan $7.25M Evander Kane $7M JVR $7M Gaudreau $6.75M Kovalchuk $6.25M Marchand $6.1M $56M/7 years = $8M AAV. That would keep him without a doubt. $49M/7 years = $7M AAV. That'd be fair to both parties. $45M/7 years = $6.42M AAV. That'd be great value for the Sabres, still keep Skinner in lofty company, but could be easily matched or overpaid on the open market.

After the past few years, I am absolutely, 100.00% alright with this. This is what progress looks like.

Bulls ranked #25 in the AP Poll after that road win over #13 WVU. First time being ranked in the program's history. https://collegebasketball.ap.org/poll/2019/2?fbclid=IwAR3jcjS0b7ksxQjlpOyF8cbxlFAWNyxt5V_SQ7NWZriL4gWcHM_u4LCRRE4 There are a LOT of historically good schools that got votes but didn't make the cut.

Troof.

Trade him.

I like the Cincinnati style chili down here, but let's be serious, no amount of chili and cheese is going to make these dogs hold a ***** candle to Ted's. I want Ted's.

Marnell with the EN to make it 4-1 Cyclones with 2:31 to go.

Wideman feeds Vail for a breakaway and he puts it backhand five for a short to make it 3-1. At 4:20 into the 3rd. Nice.

Pascal Aquin ties it up on a rebound. Vaive gets the go-ahead about 30 seconds later with a sweet tip from a sharp-angle shot to make it 2-1 late in the 2nd.

He skates like a cinder block tumbles down a freeway embankment. Seems likeable though.

1-0 Nailers after 1 on an Ottawa bounce off the backboards for a big rebound. Glotov by far the best skating ability down here. Vaive wearing the C.

Chili and chili dogs are like Cincinnati's only regional ethnic food. I feel that if they didn't already have the appropriate infrastructure, they would have killed everything in the Ohio River years ago.

Justin Vaive is down here too. He's a 6'6" monster.

Just pounded four Skyline chili dogs and two cans of High Life during warmups. Absolutely nothin'. Must win.

I'm in Cincinnati for work, and apparently it's $1 Beer Night tonight at US Bank Arena. We have Jonas Johansson and Vasily Glotov, who else is down here?

I'm usually too large to fit in the ear canal.

All Star MVP Captain John Scott.

Arizona is single-party consent. Uber driver knew; is legal in AZ.

We certainly still have issues, especially with depth. But time might address them, so if we can keep our heads above water, we might be alright.

Re: Toffoli, I doubt a team that's old and slow is seeking to trade away young and fast. We can always improve the D and bottom six for the right price though.
