That OT winner was a nothingburger from the point. Amazing that it went in.

I cannot help. I am convuse.

I think you're convusing naive incompetence with malevolence.

Who will score the last goal of the season if they trade Mitts?

You heard me. I put the d wherever I wanted in Reinhartd.

Exactly right. Look at Eich and Reino in the playoffs. Mitts will elevate in a similar fashion, I'm convinced of it. Getting rid of him when we're just entering our playoff window would be a poor move. Also, he provides high level forward depth even while he's contributing on the 3rd line. Lose 1C or 2C for a few games and the team doesn't miss a beat with Casey at the bat.

Yeah, and Dreinhart has really become a good 2-way forward.

(I miss those early, heady days when Redinhart was still fresh and clean and I used to insert the d where I wanted in the name of Rdeinhart.)

You were criticizing Levi because he's not huge and, quoting you now, "It's not a small goalies game anymore." So if you like big goalies, UPL must be your guy, right? The point I was making, if you're still not getting is there are big goalies that aren't that good and smaller goalies that are. Have you caught up yet?

There is SO a d in Reidnhart.

No way that contract ages well.

That's basically what Kevyn did in the Eichel trade. The price was 4 1st round equivs. He ended up getting Tuch, Krebs, Östlund and second rounder. Negotiation is a subtle art and you can't blame Briere for trying.

It's always sunny there, innit?

Don't worry, it's @Buffalonill. He doesn't know how to not be negative. He'll be at the Stanley Cup parade complaining how it's too sunny on the side of the street he's on. 😉

No, you're right.

Ah, you're thinking of Jesse's Girl. Jenny was sung by Tommy Tutone.

Since when has that ever constrained discussion on Sabrespace?

And I'm agreeing with your point.

If I were Dahlin I would insist on 8 years x $8,675,309 and change his goal song to Jenny.

Ah, so, UPL is definitely our guy then. Is that what you're saying? I would still say no to such a Power trade. Of course. That was GA's point.

In first run, those puppets were very strange.

You brainwashed lemming😛😀 If you look at everything Kevyn has said in general, and then the specifics of how he came to acquire Levi and his games in the NHL late in the season I think it is apparent that Kevyn is *not* trading Devon Levi. The sneak preview lived up to the billing and until the Sabres get a better look at what Levi brings there's no way they would move him. I'm not saying he's a guaranteed #1 goalie; I'm saying that he has a chance to be and a very good one at that, and Kevyn will do a full evaluation with extensive playing time for Levi before even considering pulling the plug on him.

PA summed up in a nutshell.

I think your last line is the answer.

I'm not against acquiring Hellebuyck per se, but I wouldn't trade Levi for him.
