Eleven

I think Savoie's late assignment to the Amerks last month is an ill omen for my side of the bet.

You told me at the time that I'd have to remind you. It's in Savoie's draft day thread along with a lot of other stuff that I'd be happy to be wrong about.

76 goals SMH.

Added.

Mogilny left out again. Why is he not considered worthy?

Who's involved and what are their positions?

Does anyone know what time and whether it is televised? And Mogilny better make it this time.

West Lorne?

Nah I can't usurp the winner's privilege like that! It's your bet.

Have you identified the charity?

1. @Eleven v. @SDS, $50. Whether Matthew Savoie will play more than 100 NHL games by June 2026. SDS: Yes. Eleven: No. Winner: None yet but not looking good for me. 2. @Buffalonill v. @LGR4GM, $100. Whether the Sabres will finish bottom-5 in 2022-23. BuffaloNill: Yes. Liger: No. Winner: Liger. 3. @French Collection v. me, $0. Over/under for Ryan Graves's new contract, $5.5 million. Frenchy: No. Me: Yes. Winner: None yet. 4. @irregularly irregularv. BuffaloNill. $100. Over/under 77.5 for Sabres point total in 2022-23. Irregular: Over. Nill: Under. Winner: Irregular.

I don't think Swayman is going to be the goalie that the Bruins move.

Well apparently I'm Mr. Big Spender. (Seriously, I would have preferred neither at this price, but this was my absolute limit.)

Ever walk away from a house because it was just $10K too much? Or a car because it was $2K too much? Yes.

I don't think you're too far off base. If the price tag read 3.0, I'd be kicking and screaming. But I'd be kicking and screaming if Okposo's price tag was 3.0, too.

Tell him that to his face and find out. 2.5 is a lot but it's also a lot for certain other players.

Very interesting. I didn't know (or don't remember, more likely) that he was trying to package those picks for anything or anyone...but it was a good aim that he had, it seems. 2d round picks are not worth much IMO, so good try on his part.

Have you been ... fondling him?

Getting rid of Sabredance as the skate-out music was the first bad choice. Getting rid of Street Fighting Man was the second one.

Happy to have him.

I don't know that it needs one of these tacky twitter movie posters that unfortunately have become common lately, but this is a very good signing.

Gotta sign Kassian immediately. And then maybe trade him for Hodgson.

All right, let's not get carried away, here. Is OEL really THAT bad?

I think you perceived a cause-and-effect that I didn't intend. Maybe it's my writing. I do NOT think that Granato's lack (in MY mind not yours) of solid tactical decision-making is a RESULT of him being a "development coach." I DO think that he's been a good development coach and needs work and/or outside help on tactics if he's going to be the right coach for the future.

Yeah I'm talking like league minimum cheap and taking a spot away from the likes of Clague just on the small, small chance OEL turns it around. In other words, the SabreSpace western scouts tell me not to go after the guy with any seriousness at all & since I have very little experience watching him, I'll trust them.
