LOL you are dying on this hill today😀 No one is defending Eakin. This came about because someone suggested suddenly turning Butcher into a forward and have him replace Eakin for the rest of the season. That is not a good idea. Eakin at least adds face offs where Butcher would add nothing. They need to move on from Eakin but he is here for now.

Once a week. And there a lot more benefits to the college lifestyle at that point in their lives.

That is a nice haul.

Name one thing removing Eakin from the lineup and replacing him with Will Butcher at forward would improve

Nope. Eakin has played better with Okposo and Girgs and is the centre thad can actually win a draw.

Canucks beat Vegas 5-1. Martinez is back playing for Vegas and Lehner played net.

Yeah Kings have the shiny silver helmets, Vegas have the shiny gold ones. Not a fan of either.

During the Northeastern game Buccigross mentioned that Levi should stay in school instead of riding the buses in the AHL next year. Many thought it was a one off comment but I wonder if that is kind of a mantra going around the college hockey world nowadays and more players will want to stay around to develop in the college environment.

Who is Holmstrom? A guy they signed on a ATO? They need to release him immediately.

Karmanos: “Wow some fans online are going crazy over the Levi returning to college situation.” Adams: “Hold My Beer!”

http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Mock-Draft/ Interesting Mock. The swing for the fences First Round. Mateychuk is a LHD but is a good dman and would more importantly continue Buffalo’s long history of “chuk”s.😀 This is the first draft in a long time that I have no idea how it is going to play out.

Mitts was lighting it up to end last year and looked like he was blossoming. He got destroyed by injuries this season but looks like he is back to that end of last season level. Major Knock on Wood, but if he can have a healthy season next year I fully expect a major breakout.

The only thing better then that win tonight is watching the Leafs blow a 5-1 lead in Florida. This team keeps putting bricks in the wall. Still sloppy in their zone at times which is leading to goals. Got to clean that up. Love that Mitts line scored, Tage’s Scored and Cozens scored. Spread the scoring throughout the lineup.

This has nothing to do with what is best for his development. This has to do with a section of fans who have “Jilted Lover Syndrome” over Cal Petersen and are triggered that those feelings might be bubbling again inside them.

My problem isn’t that Levi is returning for one more year of college. My problem is we won’t be able to talk about anything he does next season because it will be sabotaged by the “None of it matters, he is not signing here, it is Cal Peterson 2.0” crowd.

Erik Portillo has a chance to lead his team to a Frozen Four tournament championship. The kid is criminally underrated by Sabres fans. He is the MVP and best player on an All Star team and allows them to play their run and gun style like Fuhr did for the Oilers in the 80s. 6’6 and the vocal leader of his team. Kid has a bright future and we need to show him some love. Here is hoping for a Frozen Four Championship and then the Twin Towers, Power and Portillo joining the Sabres soon after.

Uh he didn’t win anything this year. His best friend he has played with since they were 5 is playing at NE. He never got to play in the Beanpot tournament. The season ended on his giveaway. His motivations maybe more then just making Sabres fans happy.

Based on what?

My God

Unless this guy is paying Burakowsky $15 million a year that lineup doesn’t get them to the cap floor. Going into next year with Anderson-UPL is a major failure. Anderson is shot. Get a real starting goalie. We have no idea of UPL will be any good or not.

I have said before that I had no problem with Murray's Moves, it was the execution that was the problem. Everyone cried over Lehner coming for a first because that first would have been Samsonov. Well, Caps are ready to cut bait with Samsonov. Getting a young 2 way centre, a young scoring winger who is tough, a tough top4 RHD and a starting goalie we’re big moves. They were just the wrong character to be impactful and pull the team together.

In the 1994 draft the Buffalo Sabres made a very interesting pick: Round 11 Pick 277 Shayne Wright 😁
