Well, let's be fully transparent then. He may very well score 50 in Edmonton, only, it won't be because he's Jeff Skinner. If it does happen it will be specifically because of team mates McDavid and Draisaitl. The likelihood he'd pot 50 in Buffalo was near non-existent. Look at the bright side, if he does net 50, at least it's in the Western Conference.

I understand. But I'll stand by what Anaheim would want. I try to keep in focus on the situation, Anaheim is under no pressure to move Zegras if they feel they aren't getting the deal they want.

Maybe, but if it was a lesser price, he'd of been traded. Again, if the rumors are true.

Don't drink the water from the ancient bathing houses. I saw acts of pure sexual aggression there when I visited in 92, it was akin to a backyard hot tube in Tennessee at a post mudd bogging binge drinking event. Otherwise, enjoy.

Offense is a high price, higher than an inconsistent 2 way. 200 foot game. The price will be high in stocked up young roster talent currently as well as potential in the pipe line. Think Cozens, Peterka, Quinn type roster talent then add 1 of the big 3 in the pipe line, Kulich, Oster/Rosen or a mix of Wahlburg and another. Will that be definitive? No, but the Ducks will want a lot given their decision to go complete rebuild. So the question is correct. What is the price?

I have a confession to make. I am responsible for Skinners departure, now here me out...... Being fully aware of the new upgrades at the arena, as well as the inflationary rise in annual yatch buffing costs, when combined with my plea to Terry for a snow cone making machine to be deployed to Deadhorse, Alaska, to help eliviate the suffering of the townsfolk there where climate alteration has spiked an upward temperature trend from 10F to 14F over the past 15 years, causing parched throats to become a serious concern. While my heart was in the right place to try and help Terry feel some stress reduction in his consciousness, an asset had to be sacrificed. I remember Terry saying he felt better about the yatchs appearance, but it was the snowcone maker that pushed the cost to Skinners contract. There, I don't know about ya'll, but I feel better getting this burden off Terry's mind. Hope everyone is having a great summer, and remember, if Deadhorse Alaska is on your list of places to visit this summer, be sure and stop by the Snowcone Maker Machine, I hear Coconut flavor is in abundance but don't ask for the Franks Hot Sauce flavor, the locals are rumored to be hoarding it. And......I like this contract for Jeff's replacement, 2 yrs @ 1.4 mil allows the yatch buffing to continue.

I'm on course to clear 130k gross this year, but ya, I sacrifice the time to do so.

I work for a Canadian Corp. Here in Niagara Falls, NY. As a matter of fact, I'm pulling 76 hrs this week, 84 next week, 68 the following week. It's the way the corporate world works in today's era I'm afraid, "Lean Manufacturing".

Sorry to hear this NS.

34g 64a Benson breaks out, terrorizing the league with new linemates that strikes panic and fear in to opponents. No less than 9 league starting goaltenders commit funds to long term therapy. Buffalo 47 wins, 9ot losses, 26 losses

Yep, what's done is done, and cannot be undone, therefor we are done.

Note I didn't say he hired him develop talent, I said he used him to develop talent. Granato was known as a very respected development coach, are we denying this now? Given the age of the roster, yes, it is my opinion it was a wise move.

I respectfully disagree. The first 2 seasons with Adams had him reshaping the roster, primarily with very young talent. The next 2 seasons, he used Granato to develop the talent. Wise move given Granato's acumen for such. Now, the young talent is coming of prime age or just under. Adams isn't acting out of desperation, he's acting out of need, primarily the need of the roster to get the kids to the next lvl, the playoffs. These kids aren't playing season after season in a vacuum, they're progressing, with experience, with age, so is the roster. IMHO.

While I do agree with your sentiment here LG, I'm po'd at Pegula for not buying it.

Wasn't it reported that we did inquire but he refused to sign an extension? Or was that just fans thinking that's what happened? @Brawndo, @Thorny.

Signed his ELC today.

I have a bunch

Well it was one hell of a show. There were some changes. The wind prevented my plans to recreate the assembly room, but as with every day on the pond, it died down around 8pm as the earth cooled a little in our neck of the colonies. I did dawn my George Washington costume and got 1 party attendee to be my boat rowing continental soldier. We set off across the lake and proceeded to hand supplies of patron to the parties on the opposite bank. We had tons of people out watching, laughing, smiling and of course, videoing the entire episode. The Ole costume doesn't fit quite the way it used to, but we made do. And it was fun for all, that's what it's all about, having the balls to put yourself out there and give others something to rally around, just like those in July of 1776 did 👍 And the mortar barrage was.......simply put, a vast success. I do love this country so much. Not because I'm a veteran, not because of a few drinks on a day in July, but because I am fully aware of the trials, tribulations and sacrifices of generations past, both the good, and not so good, to get us to join together. So thank you Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock, Sherman, Dickinson and the rest........we are them that stand on your shoulders. E Plurabus Unum Happy Independence Day!

Give in to the dark side, join the Empire and let us rule the insanity of the organization together 😈

Savoie could be great, he could be good, he could be meh. McLeod could be good, he could be meh. We get it, overpay. I guess we'll have to assume Kevyn and Lindy have a plan of attack. I'll tell you this much, I feel much better with an NHL proven, experienced coach working with Adams as opposed to the last bunch.

Now you got a problem with moms? Oh the humanity.........

I think we can put this rumor to bed. Kevyn Adams spending futures assets for current need.......just like we all pleaded with him to do. Way to go Kevyn!!! Keep pushing forward.... It's on onwards and upwards to the playoffs for this Sabres team!!!! Let's Go Kevyn! Let's Go Kevyn!!

He's quick as can be, what's his issue, stick handling? accuracy?

Ryan McLeod is considered the 2nd fastest player in the league. Definitely a top 6 player......
