We are outraged?

I agree with this part 100%, and it is also why I am so flabbergasted by your insistence upon strictly limiting who you are willing to move to get the team winning right away. Your understanding that losing is driving players wanting to leave, and players refusing to come here, is incongruent with your stance on refusing to move certain players to drive immediate improvement.

Whatever, Trad-Boomer.

You are relying on hope that they get to the performance level needed to get in the playoffs. Where there is no evidence or data, there is only hope.

Hope is not a plan.

So, if the team we have can’t win, and you refuse to even consider moving the young players we aren’t winning with to obtain good older players that know how to win, how do you expect this team to start winning? Power off limits Benson off limits Quinn off limits Kulich off limits? Is Helenius off limits too? That pretty much leaves us no quality ammunition to trade for good experienced players. You are dooming us to repeat what already didn’t work.

Before Peterka’s wishes became public knowledge was he on your hell no list? Don’t say no to a trade until you see what’s coming back.

Did you get that impression from the pic above, or something else?

Was Peterka a hell no player for you?

You seem woke in a different direction. And leave that horse ***** out of an Ozzy tribute thread.

Another character from my generation gone.

Methinks you mischaracterized the actual comment. But you got your jab in.

I don’t think we read it differently. I think the two statements are different versions of the same thought. And at this level I am befuddled that it needs to be said in a draft room. Seems self evident to me, hence the this feels staged commentary.

Yeah, no entertainment value in these videos for me. How long am I supposed to be wide eyed about the future FFS? And Jarmo’s tiger stripe comment reminds me of the “do you want to be harder to play against” comment in one of these videos the year Risto and Zadorov were drafted. I swear its staged commentary for the video.

I think it is more unwilling than can’t. He’s building a team that is all 22-27.

In our first house, 25yrs ago, they changed our water meters and back billed us like $3k for underpayment. That hurt.

Apparently the Claret Jug has been filled with all Kinds of beverages from soda to wine to coffee. I couldn’t find any take on what it was filled with this time.

The “Before the Answer is in this Room speech” edition would be train wreck level entertainment.

I don’t know how anyone can still drum up enough curiosity to watch these. Then again, I don’t know how anyone can drum up enough curiosity to watch any media the team puts out. #jaded

I assume the flat management structure hasn’t changed.

Darien Lake’s lineups have been ***** for a few years too.

Lots of Canadians that used to go to those shows staying home. Artpark lineup wasn’t very good overall this year too. In years where Artpark’s lineup is pretty solid, I know I stay way more interested in their schedule. When they announced this season’s initial lineup in early Spring I yawned and stopped paying attention.

It was against the league’s interest for the team (and other teams) to tank like we did. They should have stepped in and saved the Sabres from themselves back then.

I was heavy into the hobby until about a decade ago. Enjoy. Its a black hole of time and empty calories LOL. I made a 15 gal brewery in my garage. Had 3 taps running in the house. And was buying barley in 50lb sacks. Toyed with business plans to open a brewery, but never had the courage to leave a very good job to do it. I brewed for about 15yrs, gained 40lbs, scalded the hair off my left leg permanently, and loved doing it. I started it because when I was 30 the local beer market was almost entirely macro lagers, and if I wanted something else I had to buy it. Today I have 3 breweries with 10 miles of me in a very rural area. Beer variety is everywhere, so I don’t have to make it anymore. And I’ve lost 25 of the 40lbs since I quit. Dive in feet first. Geek out on it. Learn the chemistry. Its a blast.
