Different trade. But just you wait until Stiven Sardarian hits.

I don't believe so. Not any more than Pilut will find his way to our blue line as anything more than (deep) depth defense.

Go Nads!

As an aside, there is a bar that is vaguely Buffalo-themed here (as it looks like an "old men's tavern from Buffalo") called Nickel City. In speaking to people drinking there, most have never heard Buffalo called "Nickel City."

It's a long story*, but it's kind of like Nickel City is to Buffalo, a nickname the city picked up along the way. *A quick summary is that a 19th century Dallas lawyer said (tongue-in-cheek) that Fort Worth was such a sleepy little city that a panther came up from the Trinity River and fell asleep on a downtown street. Fort Worth ran with it and started calling themselves Panther City. You can find all the details here.

I have to admit that I've lost momentum. I need to get the urgency back.

Our local Fort Worth team, the Panther City Lacrosse Club, made the playoffs for the first time in their second year. The only thing they got out of round one is experience, losing to Calgary 12-9.

Yes. I didn't know that. Now I do. Anyway, let's get Grzelcyk because I want to here Rayzor try to pronounce that.

Oh.... I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. A common condition when Bissonnette is on.

Three of the four studio guys picked a Panther to score the OT winner.

I still have his jersey.

Paywall.

I don't want him because we have players capable of all those things on the current roster, and he's not capable of any of those things anymore.

What's wrong with Helle and Levi as 1A and 1B, 50-50 if Levi is in fact ready?

A Buffalo Trace Godfather.

I have never seen a more apt analogy. I was think something along the lines of hiring Abe Simpson as a mercenary to fight in the Ukraine but I like yours better.

The first 6 or so seconds from where this is cued up illustrates where Kane is going in his career. The rest is just funny to watch.

I disagree. I think Kulich will be on the Sabres roster this season; if not in the beginning of the season, by Christmas.

Yes, and Kevyn has been adamant about not blocking the young talent. The only way I can see them picking up Kane would be if Okie, Girgs and Hinostroza, and maybe even Jost, are gone next year. Of course not.

I think I'm gonna wait on the backsplash until I get the cabinets done at the other end of the room... that way we can put most of our stuff away in their permanent locations. We're going to replace the corner pantry cabinet and the bookshelf with more IKEA cabinets.

I haven't posted any updates in a while. The one end of the kitchen is functionally done except for the tile backsplash and some trim pieces. The most noticeable thing I did since that pic is the toe kicks under the cabinets.

That's more than I paid for all of my IKEA: Cabinets and countertops.

Everything old is new again.

Cozens centering them would be an intimidating line. Heavy and talented. It will be interesting which prospects make the jump and how they affect line makeup though. Maybe you leave Cozens between JJ and Quinn and have Mitts between Greenway and a promoted young buck. I dunno... let's see. If the rookie is a center I think it could work really well with Mitts because Mitts can take faceoffs and cover defensively if need be while the youngin' finds his NHL legs.
