So sad. And it was 100% preventable, especially in this day and age. It's not like driving while inebriated is a new thing that nobody understands. Prayers for the Gaudreau family at this tragic and painful time.

Anchorage boy. Things are more expensive up here and momma has a lifestyle to maintain. He's gonna get paid but not $10M a year. At least not yet.

Be careful Thorny. You are very close to stepping into a big steaming pile of painful truth with statements like that.

I wanted to vote "Not good enough", but I'm hopeful that Lindy is the difference maker. Still seeing what might be a playoff roster and the move from DG to Lindy will be the catalyst to get there.

Nick Deslauriers would like to meet you out back in the alley in 5 minutes.

I believe that is not at all an issue. Sabres don't make the playoffs this coming season and KA is back to managing the ice rink in Salamanca.

Liger, I think your career change is calling.....

Why am I having visions of a thick piece of Spam with a side of dry white toast?

That's the beauty of Beane's work. Josh is paid. The O line should be solid and there are lots of lower cost skill players in their offense. Brady will send them to the line of scrimmage every play with the defense having to defend against the run and the pass, from sideline to sideline and all the way to the endzone. None of that nonsense where everyone in the stadium knows what play is called. Let the other teams worry about the bubbles. We got Josh and as long as Josh stays healthy and focused I'm liking the chances this coming season.

Flip-down 2X magnifiers are your friend. I've used them for years and doubt I could tie a Palomar knot without them.

I'm certain you are capable of getting a kick ass power play system in place. Get your resume over to KA first thing Monday morning. Otherwise, doors will open and opportunities will present themselves. Best of luck and keep your head up.

How many years before Demidov is allowed to leave for the NHL?

Reading between the lines, it seems as though KA wanted to fire Granato during the season but Terry said no. Instead, KA had time to think about it and to make a plan. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but it doesn't give me a good feeling. All of Adam's previous plans have worked out so well after all. Maybe the added heat from his own job being on the line will be the catalyst needed to improve upon his previous decision making process.

As always, all we can do is wait and see. It would make sense that this is GMKA's last chance at a coach that gets them to the playoffs and keeps them there for a number of years. Maybe next to the last chance if things are not working in the early season and another change needs to be made. That seat has to be blazing hot.

This is me being hopeful that Cozens issues this year were all injury related. He was trending to be that reliable 2-way C that put up 30 goals. He can't be asked to be the sacrificial "enforcer". I hope he gets healthy and smarter this summer because the Sabres really need his game to return and improve. That said a steady and experienced 3C who can take face-offs and the clone of Angry Larry to fill the spot at 4C are my biggest requests. Shuffle anyone not name Dahlin, Power, or Byram, plus some picks or prospects or bottom 6 guys for the 4th D that helps Power achieve the next level(s) is a nice idea too.
