That's huge news if true. For the cap it would be nice if his ELC slid one more year but the biggest reason for my comment was the expansion draft. Good to hear (read).

Was hoping he took the PTO to play in Roch the rest of the year. Don't blame him one bit for burning a year off the ELC though. Very excited for him.

Wow, so he's not even burning a year of his elc? Great news. Your move next Casey.

Was starting to look very iffy on him signing. He's a nice prospect. Well done JBott.

Sabres can burn a year of ELC is only benefit I can see.

Wow that’s a statement. Completely agree with his lack of shooting. He has a top 5 shot in the nhl IMO. He needs to shoot more. But damn I’ve had so much fun watching. Since his return I’ve only turned the game on to watch him. As others have said I’m in the he’s not untouchable but would have to be a huge haul to trade camp.

Good point. Will be watching their playoff run closely.

Thanks for the short read. Surprised it says NHL arrival as next season. Boy is this a big offseason for Nylander. I, like some, have written off the idea of Nylander being a very impactful top 6 forward. But kid has mad skill. If he can figure out how to dramatically improve his all around game, it would be huge. He will be someone I will watch very closely when training camp opens in September.

I unfortunately missed this one. Sounds like they played well. The team has really turned the corner over the past month and a half or so. I'm predicting atleast 13 points in their remaining 10 games. Wouldn't be surprised if it's more.

Ya that’s basically blasphemy. I’ll blame autocorrect but really no excuse......

Not saying it’s impossible but in most years it’s the teams with the star qb who go the furthest. If these three qb have major flaws then so be it but without a top 15 qb were spinning in circles like we have since Jim Kelley.

Qb in football is completely different than any other position in sports. Kane isn’t a qb. ROR isn’t a qb. It’s apples and oranges. Now if these guys have major flaws then sure I’m hesitant to trade away all the draft capital as well. But if you are putting your career on the line believing a certain guy can be the guy then you go for it. Even if the bills are really good and deep, how far can AJ Mccarron get them?

To be honest I would trade the farm too. But it takes 2 to tango. If I was a jets fan I would be thrilled with what their front office did. Cost a ton to move up 3 spots but they’re guaranteed a potential franchise qb.

I didn’t say it was a reasonable price they paid (because it was a huge price) but it still screwed over the bills. Indy was the logical choice to trade with and now its out. I just don’t see the giants moving out of 2. Therefore the next logical trade partner might be Tampa bay at 7 but what’s the point if the big 3 and likely 4 are off the board by then? This. But I don’t see how it happens now unless we trade the farm AND ny giants agree to trade back.

Wow wasn't it 90 something percent chance they were gonna be in the tourney?

That jets trade hurt bad.

I'm sure if there is any chance borgen signs it's to get a shot late in the season with the big club and burn a year of his elc. How is his college team? When is the earliest we could sign him?

that's funny!

Other than bitching about losing the draft lottery what do we have left to discuss on this board?!

I’ll be shocked if the big 3 are not all gone by pick 7. No Allen isn’t one of the big 3.

Call up O'Regan....do it....

Lmao. This.

Great night, thanks all. Extra thanks to taro (well taro son) giving me a lift back to the hotel. Very much appreciated. We will have to meet up again next year!!

Lmao. Sending out an sos to ubkev, woody, possibly a third person I'm too drunk to think of. Where u guys at?

He's in
