Wow that's tough to read, as I'm sure it was to write. My boy is five, my parents recently moved out to the country and bought a 4 wheeler. This story resonates. Life ain't fair sometimes is it?

Right? Man, it's been awhile since I've been this fired up. The teams quality of play over the past few years haven't stopped me from buying tickets but dumb decisions like this get me closer to thinking about it. I'm sure the team starts winning and everyone comes out again but to me this is alienating the die hearts that carry u through tough times. I'm pissed off right now. I let the poor Sabres customer support guy know that too. I'm also keenly aware the sth are also almost all die hearts as well.....

Really? Yep it's true. Saturday will only be for STH. Way to alienate the fanbase that has still purchased thousands of dollars on mini-packs the previous 8 years with the last 5 being when the team was . I can appreciate the STH have paid more watching this garbage but are you friggen kidding me?? After years of going to this thing, making it a tradition for my family. Absolute garbage.

Little bit earlier than normal. I guess the tournament is the best thing to see. Maybe I'll make the trip down for the day.

I agree, don't think he'll be there either. Hope not. Really bad attitude. People around on these boards ridicule Jack for coasting during line changes. This guy is on a whole other level for that. Sure he has good offensive numbers but he's a bum defensively and has a horrendous attitude problem. I keep an eye on Guelph from time to time and he hasn't impressed me much any of the games I watched.

I'm in Tampa October 14-17th. Never seen that arena. Come on early season Florida trip!

I have zero interest for Merkley at 32.

:lol:

Yep, to all the other fathers out there, enjoy the day. My plans involve a water balloon fight with my two little guys. Life couldn't be better.

No faith in JBots?

Yep. I'll be there ;)

As long as Hickey signs this is a nice little deal. Only time I watched Hickey was in Wjc and he was pretty good in that tourney iirc.

Oh lord, don't bring ur hf fight over here.

Oh lord smell. That’s what you went on? Sabrespace deserves more......

Speaking of which. Are we going to get your rankings rakish or have I missed it?

There is absolutely no proof of this being remotely true.

Very true. Anybody read the book freakenomics? The month you are born does have an impact on development from an early age. It's especially the undersized guys that fall under the radar.

Am I the last Ullmark fan left? Guy has looked pretty good as a Sabre when called up and is coming off an AHL all Star season. He was drafted and developed and appears to be progressing nicely. What am I missing?

Bad attitude and can't play D. He probably won't be there at 32 but even if he is I would pass.

Yes please to priority 1 and 5 in particular.

If Carlson goes from the Caps to Buffalo then it's because we severely overpaid. I don't know how we can afford this. It's true we would be losing Risto's contract but in theory the guy coming back at forward would likely have a decent cap hit.

Pi with another bold prediction. I think upgrading the wingers and finding a goalie have to be the top 2. For the record, I'm cool with Ullmark splitting time with a vet as a transition year. I don't need JBOTT to trade for one.

He's getting up there in age now but I've always loved Grabner's game. Assuming he still has that speed left, he would be a very nice depth signing on a short term contract.

That right there will probably be the second biggest factor for his point total. I really wonder what Phil does with the lineup. Casey tends to play the half wall and likes to QB the pp in a very similar way to Eichel. So I could easily see him taking Eichel's spot on the PP2. Then again, kid has unreal vision so maybe Phil loads him on that top unit and tries to get them back to #1 in the NHL again.

Me too. When the season ended I was ready to make some big changes and ROR is about the biggest tradable asset they have. But now that time has passed and the dust has settled, it would be a huge loss moving him. It had been years since we have had this centre depth. All I've heard is Noah Hanifan has been rather disappointing thus far in his career no?
