Yep, I'm throwing my hat in the ring that he makes the team out of camp. Does management right now plan on him playing big minutes in Roch? Ya I think the Franson signing screams that. But McCabe was a man amongst boys in development camp and a damn good prospect. All he has to beat out is guys like Weber and Colo. I think he plays so well in training camp that they can't send him back. He's looked great in Buffalo the limited times he's been called up. I know it's crowded up there but it wouldn't be Pysyk trying to clear waivers it would be a guy like Colo/Donevan. To continue with my point, let's not forget McCabe was a relatively high draft pick and we are now 3 full years into his development. He was drafted after Grigo and Girgs in the 2012 draft. Since then he played 2 full seasons at U. of Wisconsin (putting up great numbers) and also a full year in Roch (looks like again, great numbers there for a rookie). With three full years under his belt I don't think him making this team is rushing him along. Guy has looked good everywhere he's played including winning a gold medal as team captain for USA's WJC team in 2013.

All right I'll throw out my pairings Pysyk - Risto Gorges - Bogosian McCabe - Franson Weber/Colo Similar to Blue, I think all of the D pairings play similar minutes and although I have Pysyk at the top, I don't think he's going to get 26 min a game. I would guess somewhere around 22 min for each of the top 2 pairings and 16 for the third.

Gutsy move but it looks like it paid off for you

Me too :cry: Less than a month and I can change it! -
I'm deep at RB so I was looking for a deal to make but unless Dez is involved I don't know how we could work anything out. I hate the look of my team but man, your team looks even worse :P

I'm back in to defend my title in Blue. I see a lot in Gold, you guys afraid of how I destroyed the Blue League last season? -
This. I know management likely wants him playing big minutes on Roch but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays well enough in camp to stick.
-
Not just that but a conference semi-finalist after knocking off the 'Nucks in the first round.
-
I'm sure it will end up being the right move.
-
Ya that's probably a good move. My sister-in-law rented her place for 3 years and decided to move back and live in the house. The place is a near write-off. Mold issues in the basement, junk everywhere, holes in several of the walls. A lot can go wrong with renting. Sorry to hear of your troubles, best of luck figuring out this (hopefully) last issue/expense.

Man that's frustrating. Having someone come out for $600 just to assess the situation is obviously a huge kick in the pants. That's why I was thinking if you took some cash off the price it would reduce the risk of there being exponential costs if something is structurally wrong. Personally, if I found out there may be something structurally wrong with the place but didn't want to back out from the sale, I would prefer to have my own guy in there to fix it to ensure warranties etc.

Slightly better list than this year if they all make it to UFA. I'm thinking that player will likely have to come through trade. We've already traded a few draft picks and prospects so I'm not sure what's still left in the cupboard to be moved.
-
Wow Bio, sorry about the bad news. Any chance you could just knock $1,000 off the price and have the new owner do the work?
-
Don't forget Reinhart. Unreal transformation from last year. Our depth up front is so good that guys like Larsson, Foligno and McGinn are going to fight for a spot in the top 9. Considering the average age, this forward group could be something special once they grow together. If Murray hits on Lehner and can eventually add a top Dman, we're looking pretty good in a year or two.
-
I would think it would be Pysyk moving over to the left. I remember him saying something about playing the left side for part of the year in Roch last season.
-
That's what she said :P
-
Oh I like this idea a lot. That's a fair response. By the way I'm well on board the Pysyk train. Pysyk looked like one of the teams best Dmen last year when called up. I still think he was sent back down due to the tank. But ofcourse a spin could be Murray wanting to give him a ton of minutes down in Roch.
-
Last I heard whoever was running it ('nobody' maybe?) isn't running it this year. Hopefully someone steps up. I have to defend my title!
-
No friggen kidding. I love the Sabrespace League because it's so damn competitive. I was able to get Thomas and Cobb fall to me as I think 5 QB went in the first two rounds. Plus, I find the difference between 10 and 12 team leagues make it much tougher. I normally do very well in my other league but last year (and the look of my team this year) I'm embarrassing myself in this one :doh: Ya, I flat out got lucky there. Everytime someone took a Drew Brees and Ben Roethlesburger in the early 2nd round my smile got wider.
-
That's a good way to start the long weekend :beer:

Yep, the guy is superhuman. I know he's 30 but the guy posted over 2,000 yards a year removed from tearing his ACL a couple of years ago. If he can come back from a devastating injury that quickly and play that well, I'm not concerned about his age at this point. Plus he was out of football for mostly all of last season so I'm hoping that saved a years worth of work on his body.
-
He's a bit of a risk at 2 but to me he has the largest upside. I like Bell a bit more, even with the two game suspension, but he was taken at 1. I thought long and hard between him and Lacy. I love Lacy and he has a higher floor but Peterson playing with a competent QB and in a Norv Turner offense just has so much potential that I feel he's the right pick.
-
Looking at everyone's draft after the fact I was actually surprised how good I thought your team turned out having done it via auto-draft. I've seen much worse. I had my other draft last night. 10 team league, standard scoring and I picked 2nd. Feel free to criticize. 2. Adrian Peterson 19. Demaryius Thomas 22. Randall Cobb 39. Frank Gore 42. Andre Ellington 59. Chris Ivory 62. Doug Martin 79. Tom Brady (should have my Bills fan card removed for this but there was literally no QB1 left) 82. Nelson Agholor 99. Ryan Mathews 102. Charles Johnson 119. Jordan Cameron 122. Danny Woodhead 139. Carolina Panthers DST 142. Steven Hauschka

I'm surprised they let you go through check out. Mini Pack has always been a min of 5 games.
-
What? I thought it was a 5 game minimum?
