Doohickie

There was a time when signing Klingberg would have been something. That time is past.

I think even with Cerberus in goal, the Sabres will make the playoffs. If they are in good position in the standings, maybe Kevyn does a deadline deal to get playoff experience in goal.

Yep, saw that and already deleted my post.

I ordered something yesterday afternoon and it hit my front porch 15 minutes ago.

Hall way worse than Eakin, if for no other reason than this.

Not for me it isn't.

Strbak is clearly #1.

Whatever are you talking about?

There is no way AI could be that perfectly terrible.

No qualifying offers for Asplund, Bjork.

In this case I thing it was true because Jerry Forton alluded to it too. It was actually nice to hear the interview with Forton; you can tell how passionate he is about scouting, and it brings back his interview where he talked about much things improved under Kevyn.

Or is that just a story he tells to make the player feel better?

Yeah, just found it. They traded the pick *and* Kozlov to the Thrashers for : 2002 2nd round pick (#31-Jeff Deslauriers) 2002 3rd round pick (#82-John Adams) Never heard of either one of them either.

What'd they do? Trade the pick?

Nope. Already forgotten. *goes back to the Home Improvement thread to see what @shrader is blathering on about* Oh, that? I thought it was an excellent remark! 😄

Oh I know Hasek wanted out but geeze the Sabres did it to themselves. Jim F-ing Slater? Dahell?

Jim Slater? I don't even know that name. The Sabres got fleeced.

How is wrong item the driver's fault (unless he's delivering to wrong address)?

Everyone is stealing @inkman's lines these days.

The grading I saw.... trying to remember who did it, gave the Sabres an A. (And gave the Leafs a D)

Thank you for your service

One thing I heard Forton say in his presser about Strback and McCarthy "mean, hard to play against kids." That's what I want to complement the higher end talent of Dahlin and Power, or filling out the bottom D pair: Mean and hard to play against. Forton was clearly very happy with the selections, like a kid in a candy store.

In the highlight reel I saw, I thought the same thing. At times it looked like he was toying with other players before blowing around them; that's a very Datsyukian trait. Stick handles like the puck is a yo-yo on a string.

Jerry Forton agreed with this take in his post-draft presser.

Holy crap, only three draft selections? Holy crap. That's no way to stock a pipeline. Toronto's gonna be in trouble in a few years.
