Yes, they used a mornal buyout on Gerbe. Maybe Stafford. Doubtful on Myers. To my eyes, Leino has looked fairly good at getting and keeping the puck on the boards, and other than being tripped the other night, hasn't been a liability. He's a bit overpaid but not so much that he needs to be gone. Although if he gets hurt again before the end of the season, I think the team should declare him Timmy and buy him out. -
Either Chz had one of those blackout Margarita nights or it wasn't open yesterday so might as well open it today. But really, what do we Sabres fans have to complain about?
-
I suppose it could come to something like, "the last suspension was 10 games, so the next is 15." without the arbitrator, or "well the last was reduced to 7, so the next is 10", but that would require there be more rhyme and reason coming out of the NHL offices for that to make sense. Not that I'm saying implying there's a Buffalo bias, just a star bias of which Buffalo has none.
-
At $$710, $100 on Buffalo, why not.

You know, I was going to put in the "except in really odd circumstances", like having a twin brother and having said that they're a package deal. :) Every year people talk about the first overall getting traded, and yet we only have one example of it happening. Even this year, with Colorado loaded up with high picks from previous year they still went first.
-
I don't need no advanced stats like winning %. Points are the only thing that matters. :)
-
You had me up to here. There are almost *no* examples of trading the first overall (any?), and especially in a draft that is reportedly rather weak. The Sabres should be trading for 2015 picks, even though that puts them a year further down the road for the rebuild.

Hockey Valhalla?

Winning %? We're not even last in points. I'm really excited about my yearly Sabres/Flyers game this year!
-
Hmm, I just looked at the prediction thread and apparently I said the Sabres will manage 81 points there. I'm guessing we'll go an unheard of 20-21-41. :)

My guess would be that what was a couple page romantic anecdote in the book became a major part of the movie. Gotta give the average[0] girls that get forced to watch the movie something. It's like that one scene in Titanic in reverse. [0] As opposed to the hockey-loving ladies of Sabrespace!

I work for a gov't contractor. Luckily, I don't work directly for a program so I'm still working. There are fewer cars in the parking lot the last couple weeks, though. If this were to drag on funding for my department would eventually be cut (to save the fat cats).

OFF TOPIC Will the Bills and Sabres Shuffle Out of Buffalo?
MattPie replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Aud Club
Make it dome, downtown, designed for mixed football/hockey use. :) -
I thought the movie was amusing, even if it kinda followed the romantic comedy blueprint.
-
Ah. Well I'm actually working my way thru "The Vicomte de Braglonne" right now. It's a continuation of the Three Musketeers story, which will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. I can't say I particularly recommend this book, but the series isn't bad.
-
Until you don't clean up! :)
-
Woo! Although I'd love see them take all those picks and put them directly into the AHL. They might as well learn the pro game right away. ;)
-
If the Sabres come in dead last, the worst they can do is 2nd overall.

At $860, $150 on Isles.

Well, yeah. But that's the same thing some people will say about Yak. think of it this way, would you trade a somewhat struggling 1st-overall for a UFA goaltender and struggling defenceman (Myers)? I say: maybe. I still have hope that rookie-Myers is still in there somewhere, and it'd suck to see him filled out in the 2017 SCF vs. Edmonton.
-
I think I'm at 860, right? (660, bet 480 on Chicago).
-
480 on Chicago. I think I'm at 660.

I read this on vacation earlier this year, it worked for me: http://www.amazon.com/Reamde-A-Novel-Neal-Stephenson/dp/0062191497/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381610583&sr=8-1&keywords=reamde

Yeah, I'm pretty going all in on Chicago this time around. Why not?
