Weave

We are doing Amerks games again when this kid hits the A. Just making the show in any form is doing more than fine for a 3rd rounder.

Omg please, he has to make it.

I don’t know why this concept isn’t self evident to more people.

There are a number of elephants in that particular room.

Owen Power 2.0?

@krakensabr56390 listen to this one. He follows the rule religiously.

It only feels differently because the Sabres aren’t actively participating.

Thorny’s sarcasm game has gotten so good this went unchallenged.

I think Byram instantly becomes there #1PP quarterback.

Pominville

@inkman watch some YouTube vids of Kesserling. The kid can throw a little bit.

I think they are waiting for February 30.

Technically, Norris replaces Cozens offense (yeah, I know). As of now, someone like Benson or Quinn will need to replace JJs offense.

Agreed. The seemingly inevitable Byram deal should tell us alot about whether KA is just continuing to nibble around the edges, or if he is super cereal this time.

During the tank years I was pretty adamant that a GM that waited until trade deadline to move players they did not expect to re-sign was a negligent Gm because they waited until value was minimized to make the move. I like this deal because KA moved JJP while his value was still high. I don’t like this move because it feels like we didn’t get equal value in return. This is an attempt to change the type of play on the ice. I think the team needs that desperately. Is it enough? Probably not, especially when we now have to overcome the loss of JJs offense. No easy task as currently it requires the current roster to perform above their past performances. I will withhold judgement until after Byram is moved.

And which of these two have games better suited to playoffs and the grind to get there?

4 out of 5 dentists agree.

I just need something that excites me. The pick needs to be something that gives me a “concept of” type of player to drool over for a couple of years, or the pick needs to be traded for someone that gives me hope for ‘25-‘26. Cheeses, Im not even asking for much at this point.

76. Tied with Selanne that season.

Hawerchuck, Andrechuck, Audette, Ledyard, Svoboda. I don’t think we fully appreciated what we had.

There were alot of rumors swirling about Russian mafia shaking down NHL players. I recall Bure being linked to the Russian mob. I always assumed that Mogilny’s fear of flying was related to threats on his life. I know there was speculation it was related to him not wanting to be a Sabre, or not wanting to be under Bowman. I thought fear of the Russian mob was the more likely circumstance.
