I would give Pavs $19.5m. Doesn’t matter to me how it’s broken up. He’s shown little signs of slowing down and he’s the exact type of player Buffalo needs. There’s nobody else I would prefer in FA.

Hockey outlet on Niagara Falls boulevard in Wheatfield used to do it as well. Not sure how close you are to that though.

Man I’ve been wrong an awful lot lately.

It’s absolutely a serious question. Do most people know who she is? Also a serious question. Looking to gauge my apparent ignorance.

Olofsson plays his off-wing. Why is it so often reported that he’s a LW?

Who is Hailey Wickenheiser and why is she a lock?

If Casey smokes weed and chews tobacco the only thing that would make him is a hockey player.

In baseball where you’re playing on that particular day decides your tax level. I would assume hockey is similar. But I don’t believe bonus payouts are applied like this.

Friendlier tax state as well

I’d put a large sum that the Sabres did. Ask anyone who played youth hockey late 90s/early 2000s, they’ll tell you the Sabres jerseys were among the most popular all over the country. Granted, that’s goatheadless, but whatever.

If the general population voted Subban the most overrated, I might be inclined to agree with you. I would even say that I agree with you that there may be nefarious reasons behind talking heads calling out his character. But I have a terribly hard time believing that NHL players consider him overrated because he’s black. Also, like I said originally, the NHL is by far the second most diverse sport in NA. Just because most of them are white doesn’t mean it isn’t diverse. The biggest issue the NHL has for getting black and brown players is primarily based in socioeconomic factors, not racism. I hate how quickly people are to jump to racism. I would be interested to read what Jordan Samuel-Thomas has to say on the subject. He’s written a lot about race for the athletic. I’m sure he has something in the area. No he was right on the money

Just read and article and watched the video. It’s absolutely disgusting, but I didn’t see anyone attack the umpire.

It must be nefarious reasons by 30 other GMs.

Glad to see a ref take such a slight to what sounds like an absolutely disgusting display of tummy sticks.

Nobody criticized his dumb pick comments. It wasn’t until he said it was a lazy pick where he was questioned. I agree it was a dumb pick. Plenty do. But there is zero justification to call it a lazy pick. He seemingly didn’t like that others saw it that way and left.

Storming off is what was obnoxious. People wanted him to elaborate on the vague lazy comment and when he did and was challenged on it, he left saying he wouldn’t contribute to the draft anymore. I think he just takes himself too seriously in this respect.

I don’t like the pick, but I understand there’s things going on I don’t know about so I’m not going to pout about it. I don’t like the RoR trade, but I understand there’s things going on I don’t know about so I’m not going to pout about it. Complaining is one thing. I complained about the pick. Being reactionary is one thing. The first post I made about it was booooooo. But having all the answers for everything and then having things go the other way and criticizing in vague, non-constructive ways is obnoxious. Doesn’t matter if it’s about KP, RoR, or pick #31.

There comes a point every year where you seem to start ***** a bit too much. Your insight into prospects is valuable and appreciated, but what seems to be personal offense in obnoxious.

That’s your opinion. If if was worth more value you would be paid professionally to give it. You have no knowledge of their draft board or what was going on in their war room.

Hopefully not in the “party his way out of town” type way and more of the “lead his team to a Stanley Cup” type way. Granted, those things aren’t mutually exclusive, it all depends on the front office.

I disagree with the pick but I also disagree with this. Obviously they’ve done a fair share of scouting, enough to trust their own evaluations over those of many other scouts. A lazy pick would have been grabbing the highest rates CSS* ranked player and calling it a day. *insert preferred rankings here

The team I was hoping whose lap either would fall in.

And Kaliyev received top 15 grades and Brink is a stud a la DeBrincat v

Can someone tell me why I shouldn’t be pissed they didn’t take Kaliyev or Brink?

I can’t believe I let myself get my hopes up
