People have declared ROR mentally weak all year. i don’t want mentally strong players (or at least what people mean when they say this) I want talented players we don’t drive out of Buffalo

We thought so highly of Thompson that we traded a conn smythe winner and took on two cap dumps

It’s ok. I only want players with the personality of golden retrievers on this team.

The favourite is significant ice time for the Sabres - hope springs eternal ?

Yeah, thankfully as Skinner is now a 40 goal scorer, this team doesn't need any 30 goal scorers

This forum endlessly pitches addition by subtraction, and all it ever leads to is a worse product. Ignoring cap space, Risto will be a solid second pairing D man on any team. People describe him as though he is barely an NHL player, yet for some reason about 8 different NHL coaches have seen fit to use him as their go to D-man

Expansion isn't a trade right? So a NMC is a no go, but a NTC would be fine? Same as how you can send a player to the minors on a NTC

What is the COR/Nylander story?

Who are the other three pushed by the Sabres PR?

Not sure what other Nylander threads are around, but thought I would put this in one:

I think I want Cozens or Boldy

The only answers we will accept are cookie cutter positive ones. Any other thought must be punished. Plus, some people are just glass half empty folk - doesn't mean they won't try as hard etc.

8x8 is more money than 7x9

If St. Louis win, ROR gets the Conn Smythe right? he is currently their top point scorer, has had four points to take STL from 2-1 down to 3-2 up and been a beast defensively. what a relief we got rid of his cancerous presence

All the mocks have us taking Dach or Caulfield

So is it a foregone conclusion that Risto is gone?

Has anyone had an in-person hearing and got less than 5 games? I know it is technically possible but I can't recall it every happening. He got a three game suspension last year and has something like five suspensions in six years. Comfortably 5+. I would say 6. It removes him from the playoffs and maybe a few games next year. But I could also see a 10+ to really send a message to him to change his act.

And fans wonder why players give cookie cutter answers...

Ever had that boss that alway gives you the company line and management speak even when things are *****? Ever had that boss that calls a spade a spade and treats you like an intelligent person who is aware of the situation? I know which one I prefer as my leader

On Nov 8 I am in A18 row 7. On Nov 9 I am in B10... but I also have two tickets (near but not together) in B8 if anyone wants to buy them off me

Risto is not a third pairing guy even on a good team. At worst he is a number 4, but more like a number 3 on a good team. Risto's mistakes stand out in part because he is played so much

Probably seeking hospital intervention after 4 hours

Tickets released

Monday even! (for some reason I thought 27th was Wed) Edit: No i was right the first time. I'm too psyched to focus

Boom. I am so there. Booking flights tonight. Reminder set on my phone for Wednesday
