My point was Kane and Hamilton have the same personal issues, or so it seems Get that from the museum story?

Apparently Statsny is a pretty hot commodity right now. Makes sense for teams that are out on Tavares and don't wanna pay for O'Reilly Montreal is one of the teams to reportedly offer him something https://twitter.com/GinoRedaTSN/status/1011381818887634944

Dougie Hamilton, 2 teams have already given up on him too. Say what you want about his numbers and everything else, but that's two franchises so far. Evander Kane, he's got two under his belt too. Let's see how long he lasts with the Sharks

Any idea why not?

In two seasons the guy, at 27, has a whopping 15 points, total.

@PierreVLeBrun Michal Kempny's strong playoffs with the Cup champions translating into lots of interest, 7-8 teams have already called for the UFA blue-liner. The Capitals also remain in the mix and are the only team, of course, who can sign him now before the market opens Sunday

@PierreVLeBrun The expectation is that Joe Thornton is staying put in San Jose. No hurry to get his deal done, what his contract looks like depends on who else the Sharks can add (hint, hint). To be clear, the Sharks absolutely have room to sign John Tavares and keep Thornton, too.

I'm guessing you didn't grow up around any Dolphins fans? When they had Ricky Williams? Or every argument coming back to 4 SB losses in a row? How about the 10 kids with Marino jerseys, or the fact that Ace Ventura made a movie with him directly mocking Norwood?

Eh I'm with Flagg. I really don't hate the Flyers that much Toronto Boston Toronto Toronto Toronto ... Edmonton Ottawa Montreal

@Matt_Bove Few quick notes — Plan is to start Pilut in ROC. Botterill still hoping to get a deal done with Wilson, despite no offer. He’s had constant communication with Reinhart’s agent. I’ll post interviews shortly @WKBW

By the way, has anyone else realized how screwed the Lightning are after next season? UFAs: 1) Kucherov: 100pts $4.8M 2) Point: 66pts for $680k 3) Gourde: 64pts for $1M 4) McDonagh 5) Stralman 6) Girardi 7) Coburn So half their defense and 3 of their highest point producers will hit FA status of some kind. The forwards especially will need to be paid; they're going from about $7M in cap hits for 3 top 6 guys to probably around $18M or so.

17. There looks to be a pre-July 1 price and post-July 1 price on Ryan O’Reilly. He is due a $7.5 million bonus, and that’s affecting what the Sabres can get. If Buffalo pays, it probably makes sense to keep him, except that the offers may improve. St. Louis was circling, and it’s possible that morphs into something bigger. The Blues might want Vladimir Sobotka to be part of the package, too. I could see the Sharks being a possibility if they don’t get Tavares.

Well, can't wait to draft top 5 again

He said he's going home for the summer. Does that mean he won't be at development camp?

#1

Well that was an insanely boring presser. No Housley, and about the only interesting thing was he wants to play Toronto the most and he's wearing 26

Rip continues the good ol' tradition of assigning players their numbers. We, and Rasmus, has no idea what his number is

The games he's looking forward to the most? Against Toronto

The deadline to qualify RFAs is today at 5pm. That list includes Reinhart, O'Regan, Bailey, Baptiste, Wilson, Smith, Malone, Antipin, and Kasdorf https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1011239113557766144

God our wings are absolutely nauseating. Every time someone posts this lineup I wanna trade RoR for wingers

Meh, extremely underwhelmed honestly

It does look like Royal, but that makes no sense outside of having it as our 3rd jersey this year. The jersey he donned when drafted was the one we've seen for the lats few years

Don't do this to us IKP. We can't handle more jersey teases
