@Doohickie reporting for duty! What did I miss?

Is Sheahan a better option that Krebs for winning right now? I haven't seen anything out of Sheahan to indicate he's the difference that when replacing Krebs will win games for the Sabres. He's. Just. Not. That. Good. At this point I'd rather see Cody Eakin over Riley Sheahan.

Your opinion differs with that of the management. Perhaps the way they see it is that they think he's learned all he can at the AHL level and will develop into a better product next season if he stays up this season, while Sheahan wouldn't even be here next season. And frankly I don't playing Sheahan over Krebs is going to help the Sabres win games. It's not like Sheahan was knocking it out of the park when he played with the Sabres this year.

...as long as he's not 90 miles away!

They probably won't appreciate that. I know my wife doesn't.

Maybe because they're a recent add to the field of prospective destinations (echo chamber effect), but pretty much all the Tweets about Chychrun today are talking about a trade to Buffalo.

The way this will end is a hockey pundit will state that a trade with another team is imminent and will leak the return, and then one of the Islanders, Kings, Blue Jackets or Sabres will pony up something very close to that and land Chychrun. Kind of like what Kevyn did to move Eichel.

I think it was his wife that's bent. It's like she has no idea how professional sports work.

1975 ... Yeah but... Punch is really, really, really old.

Dude, what are we gonna do with all that cap space? Also, his wife wasn't pleased about the AHL back at the beginning of the month.

I believe I saw an interview a while back and the point of Galileo, Figaro, Scaramouch and even Beelzebub was just to have operatic sounding words to sing; they were never intended to carry meaning in the main narrative.

...and even then they defy interpretation. 😛

Punch is old. He doesn't know about that new rock & roll that that kids listen to these days.

...a little less though. which was my point

After watching the Eichel trade play out, you know that any rumored trade returns are merely negotiating positions, not minimum acceptable offers.

He's taking over for Mickey Redmond as the color analyst on Red Wings games. e5

Well, nothing really matters. Nothing really matters to me. Anyway the wind blows.

None of it makes sense and the words don't matter. Just roll with it.

This season, not this game, but I think maybe yeah.

He takes too many bad penalties. Like stupid bad.

UPL first off the ice. This is is best, and perhaps last, chance to show he's NHL material.

I didn't. But do you really think that The Toronto organEYEzation even wants him? That playing for the Marlies is substantively better than playing for the Amerks? If you're talking about "close to home" and his home is his hometown of St. Catherines, TO is a little over an hour away; Rochester is an hour and a half. Do you think being a half hour closer is *that* important to him? Because I can't imagine him even having a shot of playing time with the Leafs unless they have a huge rash of injuries.

If this is the case we'll probably know within a week of the contract termination.
