You have ESPN+. You get all kinds of stuff with ESPN+, but one thing you don't get is basic cable ESPN (and I think ESPN2). You have to log on with a service provider that has ESPN as part of their package. It's bizarre. (So when I watch ESPN+ on Roku, I have two different sign-ons: My ESPN+ sign-on and my Spectrum sign-on.

Honestly I think he just wanted a time out and challenged for the helluvit.

Yeah. Do ya really wanna be Toronto? (My wish is that the Sabres win a Cup before the Leafs win a playoff series 😛 )

....knowing who to keep and who to get rid of from the previous regimes.

3 minutes left

BIG third period for the Baby Sabres!

Savoie with #2 on the POOOOOOWWWWWWEEEERRR PLAAAAYYYYYY!

I scooped @Brawndo! 😄

Savoie from Kisakov!

Start of the third, Baby Sabres on the Power Play.

Sorry if I puked on the thread. It just seemed to be a discussion that recurs with some regularity but it's also an unanswerable question because no one really knows what was discussed behind closed doors.

I see a Muel-type player.

Well this game is competitive, huh....? Perhaps, but that ship has sailed. When RJ was sick and they thought he wouldn't return, they went out and did a search and DD was the anointed result.

Weissbach!

He did say the Sabres reached out to him immediately after the draft. He'd be a nice depth piece for goal. And you never know when a goalie will blossom. Watching on the sly while I work from home 😄

Ah, there's the video.

The link from Sabres.com that I posted above is working (with my VPN here in Texas). So far just a graphic but you can hear the stadium sound/music.

Obviously not: Perennial contender is the goal. However I look at the prospects challenge and think there are more NHL players in the system than there will be available roster spots on the Sabres team and realize that some of these prospects will eventually be moved for players that will help the Sabres become contenders. Some of these kids will be used as trade capital to fill in the missing pieces.

I still think they have a secret "personality type" metric that puts priority on having highly motivated, self-driven, leadership qualities as one of the pillars of what they are selecting for. They might not always select the most talented player if it appears that their personality type won't fit in with the culture Kevyn is trying to build. Not until Hinostroza moves on, but yeah, the team has real players and only one or two placeholders.
