They should be and one of them should be gone, and if it's both (because waivers), well, it's both. I don't want to derail and I've argued this enough other places though.
Sort of but when it's phrased like that (as it is in the original tweet), it makes it seem like the 1st is early. What Montreal gave up--two 1/3 chances at an NHL player--isn't much. I don't know about the prospect. But Newhook is a roster player and is more valuable than those picks.
You have to be kidding.
There might be correlation, but there can't be cause-and-effect. I don't think people aren't watching second-round NHL playoff games because they're concentrating on a Pittsburgh Pirates series against the Cincinnati Reds in early May.
Yeah, I DO know who you mean, and no, it's not him. Maybe about 500 (EDIT that's games played as a Sabre). He's one of the Iks and not the one who had a wicked slapshot aimed at the 200 level.
No, I had meant Mike. I deleted it almost as soon as I posted it because I remembered that the Sabres didn't draft him.
Great call on Ray, @shrader, BTW
