Also, ***** should not be censored.

Agreed. When he was hired, KA didn't seem to have the same draft prowess or player management experience as TM or JB, but it was repeated over and over that he was a high-character individual who could maybe elevate the off ice culture of the organization top-down. When a professional like Jerry Forton, who's been in the off-ice part of the game for 26 years and with the Sabres for nine years, gets that emotional on camera regarding the organization KA has been able to build, it screams volumes about how inspired and motivated these professionals are and how they've bought in to that culture and KA's leadership. They're ready to go to war to see Buffalo win a championship and they believe he can lead them there.

Didn't realize this was bumped. I think I got pretty close four years later.

1) What is your favorite Bond movie? Tied between Skyfall, Dr. No, and Goldfinger. All three excellent for very different reasons. Also shout out to Moonraker, which is grossly underrated. 2) What is the best Bond movie? Many say From Russia with Love. I say Dr. No. 3) Who is/was the best James Bond? I used to say Roger Moore, as that's who I grew up with, but the movies and campy humor just don't hold up as much now. Connery is timeless. Worst: Lazenby by a mile. 4) Who is/was the best villan? Modern Blofeld is the most menacing because he's the best written. I also adored Christopher Walken as Max Zorn, Scaramunga, and Jaws. Old school Blofeld was hilarious due to the intentional similarities to Howard Hughes. 5) Who is the hottest co-star? Ursula Andress, Barbara Bach, and Jill St. John. Shout out to Grace Jones who continues to be a pioneer in the modeling and ***** communities. 6) What was the best stunt in a Bond film? The car jumping the corkscrew bridge in Man with the Golden Gun. 7) What is the best gadget in a Bond film? Gun and a radio. Worst: the invisible car in Die Another Day. Most hilarious: the jet pack and the Moonraker laser. Edit: 8.) Best song - it does not have to be the theme song. Tied: Know My Name by Chris Cornell and License to Kill by Gladys Knight. 9) Best character name other then Octopussy. ***** Galore (Goldfinger) and Holly Goodhead (Moonraker). 10) Worst Bond Film? On Her Majesty's Secret Service, not close.

I'm on board with this. 28 would be a risk. 41 is not nearly the same risk. They gambled, won, got the best goalie in the draft, and filled an organizational need. Like Portillo and Levi, I look forward to watching him develop.

Cap recapture is such a weird thing. Player signs with Team X, gets traded to Team Y years later, retires from Team Y years after that, and Team X eats a stiff cap penalty. I suppose the lesson is don't frontload contracts.

John Chayka is Meghan Chayka's brother.

She's also a baller pioneer in hockey analytics. Might well be a GM someday.

It was her. She's from Lincoln, ON (Niagara region) and rolls in the Mafia.

You just watched EDM pay a team three picks to take him.

Yikes, Bystedt is a reach too.

Lambert, Firkus, or Beck.

Lol traded up to pick Rinzel.

TOR trades Mrazek and 25 to CHI for 38

Trade up to take Lambert.

U18 usage in the SHL (playing against men) is sometimes real weird. I wouldn't read into this much.

Nashville is proud to select from the Quebec Nordiques Joseph Sakic.

Alright, Patrick Kane trade announcement time. Let's go.

Alright, Vancouver, let's go. We're going to make you look like a bitch, just like 1970.
