It's almost like a 24 year old dman is near retirement.

What did Samson ever do? I find him the one ex Sabres that I enjoy watching / cheering for

Sorry. Just needed to reply to someone saying half the population of Canada would vote for Trump.

The easiest way to explain it to Americans is that our Conservative Party aligns closely to the Democratic Party. The liberal party would be considered left of the Democratic Party, while the NDP is considered socialist and has a fair following in pockets of Canada. Especially in bigger cities yes we do have far right leaning people here too They call themselves the "fringe", drive pick up trucks with ***** Trudeau slapped on them. Not sure the% they would represent but I think it would be fairly small I will say, as a Canadian , I'm pissed at Trump (though I've always hated him). You have to remember the "worst trade agreement" he has ever seen was done by him during his last term. Also important is that the US does not subsidize Canada. When he says Subsidies, he means trade deficit. And there is a trade deficit because due to energy supplied to the US. He says subsidy because he knows it will rile up his base, thinking that the US is giving us money to survive. anyways. Sorry for politics. back to hockey. Go Canada! And the Sabres players! oh I will say I hate the booing of the athem. Both countries have fought many wars together and have lost a lot of young men in the process. Never should the Athem or the flag be disrespected by either country. chant "***** trump" all you want but don't boo the athem and sorry for the long post

I don't think anyone thinks he will use military power to invade us but he we certainly use economic force.

This is 100% true. Tariffs are one thing but talking about Canada becoming the 51st state has a lot of us riled up Build up that trade value!!!

Sorry but he would get 20% of the vote at most he is extremely disliked by Canadians in general.

What exactly is it? You mean keeping a 22 year old dman who is 9th in 5v5 scoring by defencemen in the entire league? 6th in points per 60 giving up on him would be lunacy The kid is way ahead of the curve offensively There is no doubt his D game will improve just as it does for every 22 year old defender Home run post!

Again, you are living in a dreamworld IMHO my whole point is that you can not get backs defensive defender, at least not a proven one, because the Sabres are on every players no trade list better to work with Power to get him to the point that he is an avg defender He is already very good in translation and offence also, if you are trading Power What's the plan ? Seperate Dahlin and Byram? Who plays with them? You bring one guy back in the Power deal, but you need two

Changed to thumbs up. We are 100% in agreement

I'm listening...... as for Soucy, you are saying that the Sabres should go out and add a defender that was so well liked in Vancouver that they went out at traded for someone to replace him? I really don't have an opinion on Soucy, you trade Power away from him and how much better are you now? And how much better are you in 2 / 3 years when hits 24 /25 years of age

Soucy 12 team no trade Borgen UFA at end of year Yes I would have liked the Sabres to make a move on Fabbro but let's be honest - for a team to give up on a player , that's a pretty big indictment

How do you plan to get around his 12 team no trade list ? until I see the Sabres acquire a player who could have vetoed a trade, I'll assume they are everyone's No Trade List

Ok. I'll bite . Give me an RHD and. LHD to fill out the top 4

I think the point is that vet dmen are unavailable to the Sabres (let alone 2) because no one is accepting a trade to them

Here is the Greatest point anyone can make. It was from Lance Lylowski of the Buffalo News "if you trade Power or Byram, good luck trying to get a vet defenceman back to replace them, as they are on every players no trade list" I would contend , you already need another top 4 dman l, so trading either Power or Byram would require 2 new guys Good Luck with that add the to defence, don't deplete it! They already have a lack of depth and talent on D, would would you deplete it further ?

I have no idea what the hell most of what this post is saying "crip walking"?

I know bands like AC/DC , GnR, Metallica and Foo Fighters are still selling out stadiums. why not a rock show featuring these bands ? wrong demographics for advertisers I guess 🤷‍♂️

Power was signed to that contract for what he will be at 25 /26 years of age, not 22 what are they paying Jokiharju? Samuelsson? I think Cozens days are numbered. Plenty of money to keep all 3 and add another high end RHD

I have to think anyone who is over 40 is wondering what the hell has happened to music. im a huge rock / metal fan but can also appreciate the pop music of the 70s /80s and 90s

This will land on Beane, he takes very little criticism but the time is NOW. Pay the price to add an elite pass rusher. Get it done. Huge difference when you can hurry up any qb but particularly Mahomes.

This is a good post BUT with the salary cap going way up, no longer valid. keep all 3 and ADD to the D , don't deplete!

Can we put to bed the argument that Dahlin and Byram can't be a top pair defence pair to bed ?

UPL always seems to struggle after a lay off. This 2 week break isn't going to do him any good

Go Team!
