No--if everyone is required to wear a mask, no one is discriminated against. On top of that, from what I've come to understand over the last seven months, whether you're at risk for increased sensitivity to the virus (or its symptoms) has nothing to do with whether you carry and can spread the virus.

Worth thinking about.

It also discriminates against the less resilient. We're either all in it together or we're not.

Puerto Rico is one of my favorite places, but I can't imagine being able to enjoy myself there right now, wearing a mask and distancing and are the craps tables even open?

I'm thinking about next year's team, but definitely not three or four years down the road, when some of these guys MIGHT actually matter.

Are we supposed to eat that raw?

No more goalies named Carter, please.

He had very little impact in WNY tho.

Oh, he would have to be part of a package, no doubt. Or *maybe* one of those situations where some team needs to clear cap space.

The latter.

The first part is right on. I feel like the team doesn't have time for the second part. Keep it to the virus thread please.

It's too soon for a Steve Barnes joke, isn't it...

It's paywalled. Who does ESPN have the Sabres taking?

This is a near certainty. It is very likely that I will be one of these people.

Who at the Sun? Is it Bruce Garrioch?

You're ticking a lot of boxes with this analysis.

Yeah that's the explanation I needed. I didn't exactly think Miracle Max was involved.

Bellroy wallets this morning. I haven't shopped for a wallet in a very long time, but I will say that their style appeals to me.

I'll be sixty by the time the team contends if they take several of those guys. Jack will be out of contract. Come on, my man. Do you WANT to be traded to Winnipeg?

Couldn't agree more. If Ukka, a/k/a Blue Swede, isn't ready by then, he won't ever be. And, speaking to that, the Sabres do need to draft or trade for a goalie prospect, probably even two.

1. Rossi 2. Trade 3. Trade 4. Trade 5. Trade I think I'm done with the Russian goalie. The team needs players who can play right now, or, at the very least, can play in Rochester now and in the NHL in 2021-22. Time marches on. There are six seasons left on Jack's deal, and I want to see him win a Cup and win it here. If the Sabres don't become actual contenders within two seasons, that's unlikely to happen.

I thought that might be what you meant, but Trump isn't exactly svelte, either, and his diet is most assuredly worse than Christie's.

What is Christie's health issue that Trump doesn't share? I don't remember that much about Christie's personal life.

That is an interesting wrinkle indeed.
