But we do know you like... The Clash and... Barron, lol.?

What's that?

My guess would be closer to October, even on Columbus Day (is that a thing still?).

Don't believe that for one minute, maybe a real small percentage. Remember how families weren't being allowed to see dying or even dead relatives? Healthcare workers were constantly tested and temps taken before every entry into the building? I know that up until recently at one nursing home that a visitor would sit outside and talk to a patient through an open window, that started in phase 3. Prior to that no visitors allowed.

IMO I think Adams will do well in most of the business side of things but could maybe use help in some areas that Dudley might excel in. Adams is similar to Duds in slot of ways, from beginning as a player all the way up the food chain in management, different only in experience. Adams pretty much ran the Harbor Center and in doing so was hands on in many aspects including teaching and evaluating young players. Where I think he could use Rick's expertise is in area such as dealing with other GM's and agents and his way of scouting. I'm sure Dudley can ease him into how to deal with each GM or agent. How to negotiate a trade or contract. Showing him what he looks for when scouting a player, the ins and outs and behind the scenes type of things that experience gives you. More of an advisor/ teacher, rather than making decisions just someone to say "well, I did it this way and it worked 90% of the time". "Your way might work on Waddell or JBot but don't try that on Yzerman."

Maybe because he also rigged the "no goal".

That's why the sarcasm.

He played in the DEL for Munchen this year, only 10gms but had 7 assists. Maybe he's available.

So, Eichel is a 1st liner but only 43.7% FO. Roy career FO% was 48.9% and he 2nd or 3rd liner, got it. : Sarcasm at it's best : I would say good 2nd liner.

I'm also not talking about this year. I don't expect Cozens and Lundell to step in and produce those numbers in year one. We also don't know yet if Mitts/ Tage have/will develop accordingly. But, like some others, I don't think we are that far from competing.

What, no VO, Skinner, Sam?

This is where I hope we get to again some day and compete/contend. Those days were exciting Sabres hockey.

And Roy was what? A center? In '06-'07 our top seven forwards were all over 55pts and Stafford was pacing at 54 (41g/27pts) and Kotalik was pacing about 46. That's 9 forwards and 4 of them were Briere, Drury, Roy and Hecht. I assume Hecht was laying wing.

Weren't Vanek, Roy, and Poms 3rd line early on? I think all 3 were at or over 50pts. Isn't that where we would ideally like to be or are we settling like we usually do? Just trying to be optimistic.

You have made a wrong "ass umption" because I never said there was any. I only said I hope he would be our 3C. If that makes him the ONLY 3C with that status it would be to our advantage. So yes, I did answer your question. And that is YOUR "idea" of what was said and not WHAT I said.

I said I would "hope" based on Cozens being better than a 50pt guy. Don't we want a 2C better than 50pts?

So you think he'll be better than Larsson as soon as he steps on the ice? I would hope that 50 pt player would be our eventual 3C and Cozens our better 2C.

I'm for what ever works. Having options and changing it up on the fly would keep the opposition on their heels.

I was looking at it more like...would the baseball go farther if pitched slower. I really didn't think it would matter much and was more of the mindset that it would take away that one-timer that we rely on too much. I'm definitely up for some creativity. Sometimes I'd like to see what the players would do if the coach let be more instinctive.

Sure I do....

Sorry, I thought your post was a clue.lol

They both like Star Wars?

You expect them to wear a mask? They can't (or won't) even follow the arrows for traffic flow in the stores. Or in the parking lot.

I always loved his ability to pick passes out of the air and figured his lacrosse activity had helped him. Great fore-checker.
