Weave

Beat me to it.

Where are all of the pics of all of these beautiful women?

It's 2 or 3 years old now, and AHL news. Links are tough to come by. I suspect alot of it was archived.

Try searching using Rochester D&C as keywords as well. I seem to recall there was some newspaper coverage of the shenanigans. Whether it was TBN or D&C, I don't remember. But the situation did get media coverage. The coverage was light on details, and heavy on presumption if I remember correctly. Gist of it was, COR was not a good host or good mentor to Nylander and appears to have went out of his way to make things quite miserable.

Always BPA for me. In 2 years our needs may look quite different than they do today.

FYI, I will be plagiarizing this line in the future. Me too. Frazier and Lilith are textbook Chet and Muffy to me. And well played it was.

A 25 yr old that hasn’t really had a good sniff in the NHL yet? I don’t think equivalencies work when you’re at an age where you’ve pretty much maxxed out your development. I would def not assume this guy would be a bottom 6 improvement.

I'm not on board with that. The guys with 1st line talent and Lucic/Neely size are rare birds. I'm sure the next one we see will find time with his teams #1 center.

Will do.

So, what is Sam's next contract worth now?

I hit Irish Mafia for the first time a few weeks ago on our way to Keuka Lake. Nice beers and decent food. Won't be the last time I'm there, for sure.

In his prime he still could be. At 30, he doesn't have the wheels. or the hands. The problem wasn't his skill set. The problemwas his skill set had the same trajectory as Moulson's.

I took that statement as, they are getting every opportunity in training camp to make the roster at the start of the season. Completely agree with you on Smith. He's classic AAAA in my opinion.

This guy. I like this guy.

I've said it before. These contracts are the price every team needs to pay to compete in June. Every title winning team has bad contracts. It comes with having to retain high end talent. The only teams that don't ahve these contracts are teams that don't have veteran high end players. Buffalo now needs to finish the job and collect the rest of the talent. Otherwise this is wasted.

I like the cut of your jib.

I'm still cooking up the ROR crow.

That is my only benchmark. I don't care how he gets there.

Those terms were inevitable. Personally, I don't care about the money or years. It's up to the GM to figure out a way to work with it. I just want to see the on ice performance.

I think the second half swoon with Jbott sitting on his hands while the season faded away is killing us here. Thisis about a combo of money and the right situation, and I have to think that the Sabres right now are a situation that requires more money. The Sabres are toxic. I know we hated hearing ROR state it in a round about way, but it’s the truth. If Buffalo maintained a middle of the pack record in the second half, my money would have been on Skinner being already signed.

It is really good stuff. My only fault with it is that it is on the light side at 80 proof. I really think bourbon shines at 94-107 proof. I’ve been hitting on a bottle of Thomas Handy. Barrel proof rye. It’s a bit too lively at barrel proof, but a touch of water and it turns into daddy’s candy.

NB, govt doesn’t regulate healthcare at the federal level, but they did use the Interstate Commerce Clause to mandate everyone had it. And that was my point.

I new it was one of the cheap bastage western Canada defensemen.

There is something to be said for putting yourself in a position to pick your preference instead of picking from what's left. And there is plenty of data to suggest that, although it appears that 3-9 are pretty similar in any given draft, there is actual evidence that 4 (as an example) is statistically likely to be more successful that 9 (for example). In the NHL draft, moving up makes a hell of alot more sense than moving back.

Which is pretty much a Patrick Sharpe role.
