No it does not. St Louis won the Cup.

Bernard Docker makes Spence less relevant but I'd kick the tires.

2 years. I'm glad Krebs will block him from the NHL. He could be a 2nd line center someday with the right dev path.

We'll trade an old MSG hot dog, no bun, this subway card we found with no money on, and a 7th round pick in 2057 for Jack Eichel. Asking for anything else is unreasonable. - every f-ing nyr fan that summer and half the media

No he doesn't. He's a defensive liability. The 2024/25 Sabres wouldn't be better with Mittelstadt. Personally I think all the hang wringing over Mittelstadt is nonsense. He played 1 good stretch here and was otherwise worse than McLeod. We're in agreement.

Both teams didn't lose the Mitts Byram trade. That's illogical on its face.

Are you arguing we should have kept Savoie? Also, I'd argue McLeod did make the Sabres better. Trading Mitts wasn't a colossal error.

So he's not another undersized finesse player? Who knew? Who. Knew.

Fascism. I noticed all the conservatives who were doing victory laps here in February have vanished. Listen to what this woman was saying.

You're missing a key element. Does Casey Mittelstadt on the Sabres make them better? I'd argue no. So yes we can be mad that Mitts wasn't traded for something we need, but if Byram gets us that, that's good.

They won't. And Buffalo still won the trade. Byram is worth more than 3/4 of Charlie Coyle with a prospect and a 2nd adding up to the other 1/4.

This is Caleb Desnoyers who most consider an excellent 2way forward that will probably go in the 3-6 range: this is Carter Bear who almost no one even talks about as a top 10 pick... because ppl don't evaluate players like Bear correctly:

Adams won the Mitts trade. Mittelstadt is worth less than Byram as we sit here today. It's like winning the Jokiharju for Nylander trade, sure Joker wasn't great but he was better than Nylander. Byram's gonna give us more when traded than Mitts have Colorado.

This kids is why you draft Carter Bear. Also Zach Benson hasn't even played his 20yr old season yet. Those defensive metrics are insane.

So... Florida is a wagon.

Ever since the Eichel stuff, I've found the Rangers to be annoying. I also think Drury is a gm you can outmatch.

Smith has sublime skating. He has decision making issues but he's got good size and plays physical. He works hard all over the ice and I don't think his offensive game has even scratched the surface. Outside of needing to refine his overall game, there's a ton to like in his package. At 6'4" 199lbs, there's a potential top pairing defender there.

Osburn is underrated. As long as Buffalo keeps their 2nd and 3rd, they'll have a bunch of lhd options.

I think 1st round picks won't have a ton of value in this draft for trades. There's too many available and I think this draft is viewed as just okay.

No

We haven't won a playoff series since 2007. So yes, it's not gotten us much.

But all the futures they traded to win. Versus all the 1st rounders Adams has used to get Buffalo to... no where.

There's multiple reports he had to approve of Jokiharju for a 4th trade. Pegula is not involved enough to know hockey but still thinks he should chime in on a trade of a 3rd pairing defender.

Vegas didn't.

Needed a new umbrella base, old one was just getting kinda gross and we got a bigger umbrella. I wanted something heavier cuz it is windy. Both lowes and home depot succcccckkkkk. They have a crappy and limited in store selection. The only one weighted enough was absurdly priced. Finally the employee help... I get it you have a smart phone but I can look it up on my phone, so no you doing it isn't helpful. Instead of going and leaving with a stand I got the pleasure of ordering it and now I get to wait 3-5 days which is a weak complaint but you're a giant box store and you only have 3 models, in the entire place, everything else is online? So annoying.
