This is better. Carolina's 134 was wrapping to the next line. I nudged it over a space above.
-
I'm not sure if it's too wide, but it's basically unreadable. Keep up the great work though, many of us rely on up to minute CHL standings on our phones.
-
This season, there is no middle ground allowed in gunning for the Shart. You must be near the top of your game or go home. Hope GMTM realizes this.
-
Yep. Good game to recall Hackett and see what he has. Plus, Myers should get more time to heal.
-
Sabres with a Shart statement game going. We're doing our part.
-
I see nothing incongruent with loving Buffalo sports and wanting to win the CHL championship. How can a true Sabres fan not want the spoils that accompany the Shart?
-
Exactly. Ship him out.
-
I like this Myers-less version of the Sabres. Ship him out for Larkin and if we whiff on McEichel, we can still get Hanifin. It's a lose-lose situation!
-
Indeed. Sabres pick up 2 points and Edm with overtime win. I'll take it! Looks like Enroth is starting to catch fire again too. Looks like Kim had a serious talk with him.
-
That is quite awesome. Even better if you see him sending a wink up to GMTM and Neuvirth ripping off his mask to reveal Leino under there.
-
Enroth's best value is being off this team. Do anything that's possible to get him off the team, even if it means cutting him for being 5 minutes late to practice. Who cares what we "get back" for him from another team, we'll be gaining a McEichel, Strom, or Hanifin.
-
I guess "duds" was too strong of a word. I don't think they're busts, it's just Edm has accomplished nothing by having them. I'm sure they would flourish on decent teams, but it's just not happening in their current situation. That's why I'm not exactly convinced McEichel is suddenly going to cure all ills there. You place him on their current roster and they're still not going to playoffs. As for a trade with Buffalo, I would still not trade Girgs+Risto/Zads/Myers+all 3 firsts for McEichel. That would effectively gut our team.
-
EDM is in such a sorry state that one player, be it McDavid or Eichel, is not going to turn it around. They have been drafting top-6 forwards 1st overall forever and look where that has gotten them. Who would have thought all of the 1sts would have been duds? That team doesn't even need a makeover, it needs a complete facelift, from the top down. Trading the 1st/2nd overall for a complete haul of promising players, then taking Hanifin would likely do the job. Just take a look at the Lindros trade. The Sabres have the assets to pull it off, but I wouldn't even want them giving up so much to get McEichel.
-
If McEichel goes anywhere besides Buffalo, I want him going to EDM. He'll be great there, but he still won't accomplish much there. That's my biggest worry about losing him, having to play against him in the playoffs every year.
-
They really should sell off some assets to try to keep Grigs and Armia up. I think their time has come and it wouldn't be detrimental to their development if they stayed. It would pay dividends next year.
-
I have a better idea. Let's tank, keep all those players, plus add McEichel. Who's with me?
-
Really? I'm starting the rumor now: Enroth+Myers for Mantha.
-
I got 2 words for you: Darcy Regier. Don't under estimate the influence that weasel has down in that hell hole.
-
Interesting there's a flu-like illness ripping through the locker room. I can just see it know: Terry: you know Joe, I don't like where this season's heading. Joe: oh, don't worry boss, I got just the thing to derail this.
-
Tank on. Show them no mercy.
-
Good news. Hackett can assume the role as Tank Commander. They should have him play 16 games just to make sure he satisfies all requirements.
-
If it meant something bigger for me career-wise or a sizeable raise, I'd be all for it. This happens to everyday people all the time. A tank should be seen as an investment or saving for retirement, painful at first, but paying off dividends in the future. Or, what is says to me is that you need both. You grab you generational talent, and if he's surrounded by a decent supportive environment, the sky's the limit. If not, it can easily go either way. And, besides, all this talk has nothing to do with McEichel, as they are a completely different can of worms than just a 1st round pick. For example, no one's going to confuse Reinhart with McDavid.
-
But where do you draw the line? There's an extremely fine line, some say none at all, between management trying to tank and management selling off all assets in a "rebuilding" mode. But the later seems to completely acceptable in sports and sometimes even desired. Is selling off your older but valuable players the same as tanking? Then there's the Andrew Luck argument. Do you think you can find a single fan in the Indy area who wishes they won a game or 2 instead of getting Luck? Are they all not true fans?
-
If that guy, Nelson, ever wants to coach in the NHL, he'd better win and win quickly. If he doesn't agree, one conversation with Rolston might change his mind. This may be his only chance to shine. I think MacT just wants first-hand knowledge of who to dump.
-
That's fantastic news! There's no way an interim coach is going to take it laying down. Should put some wind in the Sabres sails, but I think at this moment Darcy is making a Dr Evil laugh down in Mexico.
