  1. Kevyn? Is that you?
  2. EP draft guide drops next week. I always recommend it.
  3. Bear still sits above Martin for me. I just see more manipulation in Bears offensive game and also his checking game. I think that will bode well for him. Martin does have better hitting and I don't discount that, it's truly a skill. Idk, I still see these guys as really good value at 9 and the attitude we need more of.
  4. Braeden Cootes is a poor man's Bear/Martin. High motor and defensive detail, probably better skating but the higher end offensive skills aren't there and Bear and Martin are better.
  5. In all seriousness, adding a goalie this offseason is paramount. You could add 3 new defenders and get the team to play better defense but the soft whale ***** goals will sink the season none the less. I don't love this roster, but I don't hate it either.
  6. Something Buffalo must get better at: cycle creation
  7. We need to talk about Cootes.
  8. You got Josh Allen to sign with the Sabres?!? Dude that's awesome
  9. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5318571-trump-memorial-day-message-biden-administration/ This is some unhinged dictator stuff. It's an open attack on the co-equal branch of Government (the Judicial). At some point we'll start seeing violence against non Maga Government officials. Trumps language here is to that end. If any other president sent this message, all decent ppl would condemn it but in trump world, this is just another Monday. Completely classless in regardless to what Memorial Day means.
  10. Lol what nonsense was that. Was Marino drinking?
  11. Speaking of size:
  12. Keep seeing Mrtka mocked to Buffalo and I keep disliking it. He's not bad but he's more of the same of what we have. He's a space eating rhd with good gaps and a good stick. His physical play is between idk Byram and Dahlin 2 years ago? So average. His passing and skating are nice. He just looks like a 3/4 defender and you can draft that later in the 1st and into the 2nd regularly. It's about maximizing the talent you get so I'd lean elsewhere before Mrtka. I think there's a very real chance Buffalo picks him. I wouldn't hate it, but it would feel safe and cautious while trying to fill a rhd void than truly getting the best talent.
  13. You keep equating size with toughness and acting like it's 1995 and I'll keep calling *****. It's as simple as that. Enforcers are dead. Tkachuk isn't that and neither is anyone else you listed. Also Marchand had played 0 nhl games at Benson's age. I love that your critique is Benson smiling, that's the dumbest thing I've heard. Buffalo needs more gritty talent, I agree. The size part is just useless bs about how it Buffalo was bigger they'd be better.
  14. Really quickly, I want you to look up Bennetts size and Marchands and get back to me.
  15. Kevyn Adams is an unimaginative loser who espouses a losing excuse filled narrative to explain his incompetence and complacency.
  16. My point isn't to crap on Florida, the point is that different players will value different things.
  17. Yea and I lived in Georgia so I'm well aware of the differences. Couldn't pay me to live in Florida though.
  18. I think the most likely scenario is Buffalo starts ok and then upl sucks in November and Adams is fired before Christmas.
  19. I haven't even mentioned the public school, insurance, or government in Florida. Gotta tell ya, if I'm a Canadian hockey player with a wife and want a family, ain't doing that in Florida even if their facilities are the best on the planet. The problem with these arguments is they assume almost all players value X the same when we know they don't.
  20. You know what else can sway decisions? Family. Housing. Things that happen away from golf carts. I think it's ludicrous to say needing a golf cart to drive around facilities is somehow some magic benefit. Fun fact, the University of Georgia built their new field house and weight lifting facilities on top of each other so they weren't wasting time being bused around. Anyways... Buffalo has good facilities. They have 3 ice rinks next to each other. The Players have a lounge area. They have expanded recovery areas. Is it the best in the league? No, but it's better than quite a few places. If it was so ***** why would anyone sign here ever? Okposo, Hall, Moulson, Ehrhoff, Zucker, Dahlin, Thompson? Eichel? Why sign here if it's so ***** compared to Florida?
  21. Smith is interesting. I don't agree he's a type we don't have. Still, you're trading at worst a 35pt top 4 defender for a lesser defender, and a B level prospect. I think Utah would have to add. I also think offers for Byram might be higher. Recent trades make me think he's worth 3 assets. Decent roster player, good prospect, sweetener.
