The video was much better than my feeble attempt to recreate it.

You talkin about practice? Practice? Not a game, not a game. But practice??

:lol:

Great to hear LTS. How old is your son?

Toronto's going to win the Shart. I'd be shocked if it's anyone else. I'd like my cake and eat it too. I want the Sabres to play fairly well down the stretch to win a few more games. Not because these professional athletes need to learn how to win but because it will hopefully show potential UFA's (cough Yandle) that we are primed and ready for next season. Saying that, I hope they don't play themselves out of a top 7 pick. One more core piece could really go a long way.

That's awesome!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaa. Long weekend too :beer: :beer:

The Fan 590 out of Toronto runs a five min Stamkos watch every few days or if there is news. I got a chuckle when Gorges snubbed T.O. for Buffalo. If Stamkos were to sign here it would be unreal.

:w00t: This. 100 x this.

To me it's different when a non-Sabres fan comes on SS and throws out some pretty outrageous points. I can say my sister is acting like a slu, my brother can say my sister is acting like a slu but if Joe from down the street says that then he can just right off I don't know who's saying the Sabres easily won the trade or even won the trade period. But I don't think it's been as lop sided as you are pointing out either. It was more your point about Armia that had me shaking my head. The guy is destined for the 2nd line?? You can't even believe that can you?

Born in the Good ol U S of A as you know. So maybe one player. But even that was in 2007. He started working for Ottawa in 2007. I'm assuming he joined before the draft?

How on earth did you feel the need to 'stick up for yourself or your team'?? You're first post today was not in response to anything anyone else said that may have slighted you or your fanbase. You came on a Sabres message board gloating about a trade that you feel your team won when a) it's way too early to determine a winner and loser and b) made some outlandish predictions on players involved. That's the very definition of trolling. Also, who said that about Armia? He couldn't make the team. Pysyk was kept in Roch last year because of the tank. Not Armia.

:lol: This is excellent.

Same as draft thread. I'd be shocked if Murray would.

This years Carrion was always the Leafs to lose......

Ducky, I enjoyed reading your insight and perspective up until your last few posts. Seems like you are just trolling now. Hasn't seemed like your character up until this point. I don't watch Armia now that he's on the Jets but he was turning into a bust here and his 3 points in 20+ games sure doesn't scream top 6 forward.

I'm not disagreeing. But thought I read somewhere that Murray has never drafted a Russian player (while in Anaheim or Ott). Could be wrong on that though.

I like the sound of him but I usually skip right over Russian born players with the assumption Murray will never draft one.

I think as of right now the Fins have way too much upside to be in the discussion of taking Chychrun ahead of them. I think there's also very little chance Edmonton takes him in the top 3. Edmonton may look at trading down but I doubt they reach for him there. Two years ago we were thrilled to get Sam because we had good D prospects and zero C depth. Less than 2 years later our needs have completely swaped. In 2 more years they will swap again. That's why you take BPA and figure out the rest via trade or the free agent market. This is also where I'm at. A top 7 pick and I'm happy no matter which one we take. Edit - For me Nylander also belongs in the list of guys I'll be happy with.

Good lord what is going on here? Great to see Bailey with the big team. With Compher traded away and Hurley not looking anywhere close to the show, it's nice to see one of our 3 2013 2nd rounders get a shot.

Oh God, it's a good question but I'm not sure what it would take. If I dropped from 2 to 5 I would want atleast the other teams 2016 2nd, a 2017 1st (potentially lottery protected) and a decent roster player or prospect. Maybe if you added a lottery protected 2017 1st rounder I would consider your original deal.

I'm probably in this camp. The cap hit will end up being way too rich for my blood. Wasn't the guy playing 3rd line minutes last playoffs? I realize he's a good player but Jon Cooper comes across as a good coach to me and there was obviously something going on there during that playoff run. He's obviously a good player but anything near the league max? No thanks.

I think it's going to take more then that Hoss. To me there is a small drop between 1 and 2-3, a decent drop between 2-3 and 4-7, another decent drop to 8-10. If we win the lottery to pick 2nd then I wouldn't be thrilled with Murray trading down to 5 and receiving a 2nd round pick and a player equivalent to Ennis.

???? Great write-up Flagg. Glad you enjoyed the game. Always a fun time watching them live. Even during the previous 3 years.

I don't disagree. But Gorges has 2 years left on his deal (or is it only one?). So he's not exactly just a rental. With the way the Dman trade market seems to be potentially drying up I would think he has more trade value then McGinn.
