This has been far from universally true. But the environment here is definitely not conducive to showing off a players best side.

Usually experienced people, Amiright? Of course experienced isn't the be all, end all. It does provide a track record you can use to evaluate though. For every Yzerman there is a GMTM. The less experience, the greater the risk of an incorrect evaluation. If I am an inexperienced NHL owner I want experienced people below me that know when I am going to make a misstep and have the clout that experience brings to shut me down before I do it.

Would Scandy playing for Buffalo even be in a situation where he could show 2nd rd pick worth? In Montreal he sure could. Just a thought.

I'm swimming against the current here. The picks aren't interesting to me at all. Let's let this group of kids learn how to win. I'm thinking its about time we treat this team like we treated the 03-04 Sabres. Give them some reinforcements, leave the season with a bang, come into next season flying. ***** the picks.

The track record for D2 centers in recent years has been poor. Grigorenko, fail, Girgensons, fail at C, Sam, fail at C, Mitts, fail at C. Sue me if I reflexively want to see this kid further developed before throwing that kind of responsibility at him.

Ah yes. The infamous vote of confidence .

I know all that and none of it changes the thought I was expressing. I was speaking of year D2 regardless of when they showed up here.

We all are.

I thought Cozens was a 2nd line wing for WJC? I don’t think there is any reliable way of projecting if he’ll be NHL ready next season until he’s actually playing against NHLers in camp. And I really don’t feel comfortable with yet another center prospect on the NHL roster in D2 year. The only one thats worked for is Jack.

I’ve seen media reports indicating that children are less susceptible to the worst effects of the virus, but I haven’t seen or looked for anything backing that up. And certainly nothing saying children are not being affected at all.

Someone I was talking to over the weekend mentioned that. Ugh. She lost to the biggest ***** head in all of politics. What benefit could she possibly bring to the ticket? And when are the two parties going to stop trotting out retirement age candidates?

If I'm reading Swamp correctly, his point was that the flu has killed way more people than Coronavirus but folks that don't bother to get a flu shot are fretting Coronavirus. That was my take anyway.

College drink food. Think of everything you’d order at a burger joint and pile it up on one messy plate and top it off with a meat hot sauce. Burgers or dogs, mac salad, fries, etc all in a pile on a plate.

NJ using cheap Chinese knockoffs in game. Awesome.

Hutton seems to do better when he doesn't have competition looking over his shoulder.

From Mark Spector on Twitter.... Really amazing to see Draisaitl perform on a team with one first line, a 3rd and two 4ths. He was a tour de force on this road trip, and has 10 pts in the 4 games McDavis has missed. Carrying EDM.

A defenseman trade that Jbott wasn’t in on? No way.

It sure seems that there wasn't much to get for what we had. Hard to believe that couldn't have been better managed.

After viewing all the replies on twitter it was the only reaction I could have.

Just what we need. A thread with replies just like the twitter replies.

Cheektovegas and my Godson gets some screen time.

Yes, I’d consider his views if he were presenting him/herself as a scientific specialist, or presenting legit scientific data of someone else’s origin. But I see nothing of the sort here and given the site it is more than reasonable to assume that none is forthcoming.

What does this even mean?

Real science requires peer review, which does entail consensus. We'll disagree on the lieklihood of sincerity on that site.
