This roster definitely has the potential to win the Jack Adams.

Maple syrup is a hugely undervalued condiment outside of the breakfast arena. Try grilled cheese with a sharp cheddar and maple syrup drizzled in the middle.

LET'S DO THIS.

Over at happy hour at Buffalo Fire Department, a bar/restaurant in Torrance, CA owned by a Buffalo firefighter expat turned chef. As always at Buffalo places, good beer and good chow.

BREAKING NEWS: BUFFALO SABRES ACQUIRE F AX MACHINE

He was RFA, but didn't receive a qualifying offer from Nashville, so he ends up on the UFA list. Weird.

TJ Brennan signed to Toronto, 1/$600k. Didn't even know he had been traded from Florida to Nashville for Bobby Butler back in June.

Looks like Ruff was a summer intern last year, then graduated, then came on again for a what I'm guessing is a one year internship. Not sure he, or Beamish, is running anything. Probably just assistants in the scouting office, with a few other duties around the organization. He's worked other places, too, so he could be very qualified. Sounds like great way to get into the sport, career-wise.

Regier said that would probably be the case that many teams wouldn't be willing to give up assets in a trade until they determined if they could get UFAs Maybe the market has cooled a little on Miller (or maybe not), but with many of the UFAs signed, the market for Vanek should still be hot. Maybe Darcy had it right, and his patience through the draft will yield better return.

I don't know that signing any of these guys would be part of moving in the right direction for us, but I'm willing to hear arguments.

I chuckled.

I like Briere (a little), but I hope he goes full Scott Gomez just to ###### with the Canadiennes.

Yeah, I checked out the list on cap geek, but couldn't decide what would fit well. Maybe Pietrangelo, but that'd require surrendering a 1st.

Are there any RFAs we should offer sheet? May not want to give up picks, but the cap reduction could make the playing field very interesting.

Good call. Trade two of our top three scorers for Boston's sixth, who had 22 points in 43 regular season games. Not that any part of trading for a UFA made any sense.

The Jor-El to Stafford's Superman?

Acquire Marty Biron.

True of any trade ever. In this instance, Carolina got a top four D, Buffalo got a RH D and a high 2nd round pick. I think that works for both teams. So why ###### on Regier for making trades like this- or remark that he doesn't?

What do you call the Sekera trade?

Absolutely. Then tack on the fact that A-B was bought by InBev.

New goal: I want all former Badgers for Sabres defensemen. Gilbert, Drewiske, McBain, McCabe, McDonagh, Schultz, Gardiner, and Suter, with assistant coach Brian Rafalski.
