Looking at the history of Sabres “veteran presence” acquisitions that were overpaid to get them, can you blame those posters? This certainly appeared a repeat of that.

Clearly for some that answer isn’t 13 years.

Reimer has a better GSAx and GSAx/60 than either UPL or Levi. Not sure who that says more about.

Pretty sure the three game win streak didn’t happen until February

Well-deserved too.

See, this is what I should have done; however, 16 year old overly confident first time solo ice fisher me decided he knew better.

I kept a pike once from ice fishing as a kid and I pretty much ruined it trying to clean it. This was the days before YouTube and I was trying to figure it out myself on the fly. Not my proudest moment. That being said, it tasted alright cooked up as a fish taco, but I'll admit it wasn't the best-tasting fish for that and I decided it wasn't worth it to try and keep any others after that. Why are you supposed to throw the bigger cats back? Is that just the fishery rule to encourage a healthy population? I've never been particularly fond of catfish which is unfortunate as we have them in absolute abundance here in Texas. At the lake five minutes from my house, I believe the daily limit is 25 channel cats with no minimum length (although there is a cap on the number of fish over 20 or 24 inches you can possess, but I don't remember the specifics). Flathead cats have a minimum length, but I don't even know what it is since, again, not a huge fan of catfish. I just go for the striped bass and crappie.

The youth-only deer season opens Saturday. Our nine year old is going out for his first season. We got him a youth-sized single shot 300BLK and I put a suppressor and Leupold scope on it. He’s been out target shooting with it a bunch and it’s pretty darn accurate. He should be good inside 150 yards which is perfect since there are no shots past about 120 yards where we are hunting. He can harvest up to two deer: a doe and buck or two does. So hopefully next Sunday I’m posting a nice success story. Side note: he really wanted to try hunting with a muzzleloader because that’s how I like to hunt. Part of the reason we got him the single shot rifle that we did is there is an identical inline muzzleloader from the same company, so maybe next year he can try that. We’ll see if he enjoys this season or not.

Sammy sits. Gilbert goes in. Let him know he’s going in to energize the bench and let him do his role.

No, the bottom line is Adams hasn’t proven himself as a GM and this is yet another questionable move.

Levi gets a paper transaction to Rochester and you recall a forward. If you need him, let Reimer sit as the backup. If not, you don’t have to do anything except send him down and reactivate Levi (if you want Levi on the bench). I’m only complaining because it’s poor roster management by Adams when he had flexibility. I’d prefer Levi in the NHL than Reimer many times over, but I’d rather have both in the Org instead of losing one for nothing.

We just put NAK on IR. He could have held Reimer for another week. Or done a paper transaction with Levi. This is poor roster management.

At least it’s a pleasant surprise either way.

Can we just decline penalties?

Flawless strategy.
