Weave

It’s easier to disregard the idea if you assume failure in the player acquired. There is a whole continuum of results between ROR and Frolik.

For just a thought exercise...... Tampa would make an interesting trade partner for moving Jack if it weren’t for all those NMCs. We have Jack, who would command multiple high end players coming back, and cap space. Tampa has serious cap issues and a surplus of high end talent and they cannot afford to keep all of them. It would be a 3-4 to 1 deal and might actually result in a win-win. No I’m not going to propose anything. I have no emotional investment in the idea. Just posting a thought bubble that if Jack were to ever move, this is how it might happen and Buffalo not lose out on the deal.

When 1/3 of the country still thinks its a hoax.....

I’m for moving the pick for the right player coming back. I’ll worry about depth in our development system only after we’ve got a full roster of decent NHL players on the ice. We've seen what happens when we don’t have players to slot into key positions. We end up playing kids that aren’t ready like Casey and Tage. So I’m hoping the team prioritizes filling key holes like 2C and goal and then fill the developmental system.

Craig Button put out his first draft prediction. Buffalo selects Holtz.

How long before a fan on a message board has the screen name “That Pledge Smell”?

IT’S NOT A RUMOR! #Arnold

Pedantic take... neither of these threads are trade rumor threads. They are nothing more than someone’s fantasy idea for a trade. This is like calling wookie’s trade proposals rumors.

Agreed. If anything, VO is the LW that needs a gifted passer.

Except new areas of the country are approaching ICU capacity just like NYC in March. Controls are going to be needed for a fair bit of time yet.

I agree that people traveling to open places from hotspots are a problem. I disagree that you can do it considerately. Putting someone else at unnecessary risk is pretty inconsiderate. I had to travel for business last week. I did everything according to local rules and some to an even higher standard. But If I didn’t have to go, I wouldn’t have. The considerate thing to do would be stay home. Alas, the economy is more important I guess. We’re all frustrated. Too many people everywhere not giving this virus the respect they should.

It’s a virus. And a rather easy one to spread. It’s not like your area was going to remain an island of Covid free paradise for long. Clowns? Harsh. Possibly accurate. But harsh. Is Neo a clown for coming up north right now?

I'd be curious to see the comparison of quality/location of shots between those two seasons.

Can't really tell from that pick. Could be a milk snake. Did the splotches have a black outline? Looks like too dark an outline to be a copperhead. Pretty small range for them in NY too. Water snakes can sometimes be colored like that and are usually very aggressive. Head shape and the banding outline are usually the give aways.

You guys need to look for the arrow on the gas gauge before you pull up to a pump.

It wasn't a criminal trial. Preponderance of the evidence, not without reasonable doubt.

After Ralph's comments earlier this month about players who don't like the role they've been asked to play, I'm fairly convinced he wasn't going to reward Skinner because Skinner was playing the game he wanted to play, not the one Ralph wanted him to play.

Our office and manufacturing areas are almost fully packed up and shipped out. For sale sign in front of the building this AM. Very soon we’ll be making a move we didn’t want to make.

My wife just went through the process last week. Small town in WNY. 5 days for results. You say you can get results in a couple of hours. Has that been tested? IOW, did you or someone close to you go there and get results that quickly? Or is it just a statement out there? Because supposedly around here we can get results overnight, but the hospital won’t test you without multiple specific symptoms and urgent care is 5 days for results.

Neo, you’re over thinking it. The same request was presented to Woody when it was NY in the crosshairs and he wanted to travel out of NY. Its a pandemic. We’re all missing people that the time is not now to see.

Didn't Mittlestadt slip quite a few spots past his projection in the draft? That would indicate to me that those end of season tournaments are not weighed more heavily than what led up to them.

We heard the same about Evander Kane, and now we are hearing it about Skinner too. I can‘t really nail down the distinction because I’m not at all emotionally invested in it. Congratulations on being my first ignore. That language has no business in adult conversations.

I think you are misreading those folks. I think Dudacek’s read is more accurate. A few folks think he’s not the type of player that they think will help the team win, but acknowledge that he is a top 6 talent. If anything, I think the argument has been that he shouldn’t get 1st line money. Im trying to find a comparable for these people. Maybe not Satan. Roy? Is that the comparison? Talented. Not someone you spend core money on. I don’t know. I don’t hold that view. I want to see a playoff push before I pull that trigger.

Which is an entirely different statement.

And it worked well for them overall. They’ve been awful good for an awfully long time now.
