Good 5v3 kill, then Pitt scored on a rather random play.

Frankly I wouldn’t even say the first two games indicate anything when it comes to Kulich making the team. They may have him play the 2 Czech games as long as he plays well enough and then send him down once they get back to Buffalo.

Kulich looks like he really wants the Sabres to take him to Czechia to play in front of his family and friends

Well acquiring all 3 isn’t exactly something that happens in hockey

Kadri and Weegar are interesting candidates; Andersson would likely be a bit rich for my taste based on the present roster makeup

How exactly does bringing up their issues solve them? I'd rather not drive myself batty over every grievance with the team. Yes the Sabres have issues; anyone with eyes can see that. But turning every possible thread into a rant and raving thread about the evil Pegulas and KA's subservience to them is unnecessary. Endless doom & gloom is unnecessary and frankly rather depressing. I want the Sabres to make the playoffs and understand they have a myriad of issues but rather than endlessly harp on the "Why it's impossible?" can't we just ask "Why it could happen?" We can only rehash the same grievances so many times before they become a nuisance in of themselves and unless you happen to have 3 billion laying around; we can't do anything to fix many of the grievances but we can reduce the sheer level of darkness that permeates the forum.

I honestly hope Byram knocks our socks off this year not only for the team's success but to end the endless Mitts talk.

A portion of the team is in town, not exactly how many. We do know that many are skating however.

Where are you seeing this exactly?

He'd get close to max if not max; unsure where that lands next season.

My guess is arguing on semantics is the way most forum posters try to deal with a tragedy.

Utterly tragic, gives me serious depression since I'm about the same age as him. I hope the bastard that hit them is thrown in jail and the key is thrown away. Drunk driving is stupid enough on its own but to do so when there are 50 other options; its absurd. That's what it sounds like

Hopefully eventually all the teams make one and then the NHL just wraps them altogether for easy access. To fool with lines visually To enjoy the management side of the game like a Be a GM mode in NHL games To scratch the "What-if" itch

Hence why I combined Skinner with Girgs About 40g + 35a If Quinn can get 24g 22 a that means Zucker only needs 16g and 13a to even it out. Plus Zucker and Quinn are both better at defensive hockey than Skinner while less than Girgs in a sense thus better spreading the talent.

While neither will truly equal Skinner's production on their own; I'd say Quinn + Zucker should be more effective generally than Skinner + Girgensons.

For the 1st part, it’s actually still up on the air if he was injured originally. He literally played his last game in Colorado. I do agree though on the money part though

My guess is a prospect and the Vegas' 1st

Frankly I doubt Adams wanted him anywhere near the players. After all he was dealt to Colorado for a UFA even though he had ok numbers that previous year. Supposedly he was a malcontent.

I definitely believe the potential is there, also it’s Lafferty on the 4th line, where’d Fogarty come from lol. Id adjust the goals a bit but I can easily predict 260 GF barring catastrophic injuries to key players

Feels that this either an Eichel-esc situation with a disagreement over a surgery, another scenario potentially Johansen's injury being called into question by the Flyers' brass (he's actively delaying his surgery with rehab to prevent needing to go to the AHL) or the Flyers are just trying to get out of the contract early.

That could certainly be it as well

I just don't believe we could have signed him at 5.75. But never discussing it with him seems to either be concerning on Adams side or misinformed by Mitts side. Because you could interpret it as both the literal they never talked or agent speak as we never discussed the preferred ask or to the agent's desire. (Adams offered 5.25mil and the agent wanted 7mil. Adams never came close to the ask and thus the agent felt they never actually "talked" a new contract) The latter is what I choose to believe because the former doesn't make a lick of sense for someone supposedly turning over every stone to solve issues. Otherwise that's just idiotic because even if you want to get a cheaper alternative for any reason; talking doesn't cost a dime.

With Colorado, which has different circumstances than Buffalo; if he demands 7mil there he likely gets a 2 year deal and a trade possibly. Not to mention it isn't impossible to imagine that he was willing to come down on his ask to stay on a winning team.

Come on SJS you should of stuck it to them harder than that
