I-90 W

Just got home from work looks like a good game.

True that could be good, ROR on Jack's lw.

True but I would imagine whichever line he's on, Jack or Sam's, we would want them taking the faceoff eventually. Unless we had him on the second line and have Sam centering and ROR taking all of the faceoffs.

Rags in 7 Pittsburgh in 5 Nashville in 5 Anaheim in 6

I'd be tempted too, and honestly ROR will be on wing eventually anyway and Sam #2 C. Just hard taking ROR off faceoffs. Still though, that #1 pick would be major trade bait and we are very strong at center as it is.

"Chief amateur scout Jeff Crisp is overseeing that portion of Buffalo's hockey department on an interim basis". http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/19250897/buffalo-sabres-sign-devante-stephens-entry-level-contract

That will be good for the downtown area near the arena. Labatt actually makes a surprisingly good NA that not a lot of people know about.

If we win the draft lottery, we definitly better trade it for a top 4 dman.

I just wish there was a way to legally stream MSG for the regular season, if there was I wouldn't have to have directv.

I was surprised when TM was let go, but no I don't think tpegs overreacted. My guess is that TM couldn't adequately defend himself in relation to how last season ended, and that the exit interviews of the players played a part in it too. Most importantly, if TM wanted to still stand by DB, that alone is solid enough reason to relieve him of his duties. LaFontaine hired TM, and TM hired DB. Tpegs even stated that he regrets not being involved enough in the hiring process. Unfortunately, that seems to have soured him on the having a POHO now.

Eh I didn't even know that ESPN even covered hockey at all at this point. I only watch it durring college football season.

Lehner needs to be resigned. We have a team save percentage of .920 in spite of the fact that we have the most shots allowed in the league.

That is good, though it's delayed another year now. I thought Shia LaBeouf was going to take over, if he's abandoning the role that will cause me to dislike him even more so than I already do. It is both an honor and a commitment for him to take over the role, it's a prestigious and iconic opportunity. He was great in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I'd like to see Botterill get a chance here as GM. I admire the longevity of Pitts success and I've read that tpegs likes him. Honestly though I'm more focused on the HC than the GM.

Youngest GM in nhl history, supposedly a analytics guru. Arizona thinks he's a prodigy. Doesn't really have a lot of experience though and isn't a we'll proven GM yet.

Rangers got rid of him, and now the flyers probably want to as well. He was a frequent healthy scratch and a liability. He seems pretty inconsistent.

Not sure (Im a NYG fan) but from what I've gathered on here is that he was responsible for scheduling a few Bills home games in toronto a few years back. I think the people on here think he's a puppet master making decisions behing the scenes. They could be right for all I know, but my understanding is that he runs the bills badly.

Got my attention for sure, will definitely be watching team Russia now in the tournament to scout him.

That was pure, unadulterated savagery.

Same here, and it's not an unrealistic scenario. I think there is wiggle room for a good trade for a top 4 dman this summer.

Really hope this is true.

Jack 0.93 ROR 0.76 Okposo 0.69 Kane 0.61 Sam 0.59 #5 ppg for Sabres, #139 league wide.

I agree that top 8 in both conferences and re seed from there was the best way. I really don't understand why they changed it with the division realignment; let rivalries happen naturally. Also I wish the league would revert back to East vs West all star games.

Agreed but im really curious to see how Carrier will develop next season with more minutes.

Agreed but we could tweak it/ sweeten the pot. There is some foundation here to go on. If (big if) we won 3rd overall pick would you trade it straight up for him? How about if we added a prospect too?
