Perhaps, but he's exactly the kind of player everyone was kvetching about on locker cleanout day- not self-motivated, only plays when he feels like it.

This line made me laugh out loud. We didn't trade one of our best players to Greenway. Honestly I'm starting to see Byram like Risto: Great highlights with poor hockey sense the rest of the time.

I'm not ready to say that yet.

When Mitts came up he was the 98 pound weakling in this ad. He's become the Hero of the Beach as he's gotten older.

Eh. I think Mitts his plenty edgy and getting edgier as he gets older.

I always thought moving Mitts was a mistake. You can see my reaction early in this thread. I came around to Byram after the first few games, but now I'm cool on him again. He's certainly no savior. Hopefully Lindy can get the best out of him. But I said when Mitts was still with the team, I thought he might be our best forward come playoff time. I think the argument for trading him is that they've already got two long term, high dollar (although reasonably priced) contracts for centers and didn't think Mitts would be happy with what the offer was going to be. I think not even engaging him in contract talks (as has been reported) was a huge mistake. Maybe he would have accepted a similar 7x7 deal. If so, would that mess up signing other players such as JJP and Quinn? I dunno. But I felt that investing all we did in Mitts, then trading him for a D that may or may not be high end was... imprudent at best. Still I'm waiting to see how it works out. Hmm?

The larger optics are will the Sabres win hockey games. By the end of the summer no one will remember Kevyn's "double digits" statement except people here on the forum.

"You mean there was no deep fat, no steak nor cream pies nor hot fudge?" "Those were thought to be unhealthy. Precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true."

Except Benson is a passer and Skinner a shooter. And Benson plays good D. Benson has a ways to go in penalty differential tho haha Except Benson is decidedly not Skinner in any way.

Because he's an upstate NYer

Sounds like it's best not to risk it.

Sorry, I was... uhhh... having a moment.

Al Green is a national treasure. Love that guy. Actually, if you want late night performances, check out this Jack White jam session. I think he would probably but one of the best concerts ever. He's very talented plus he surrounds himself with incredible talent.

My son took that picture. He got some really good ones. He rented some $4000 lens or something for the day.

Yeah, I thought about giving someone else a franchise and letting him sell the naming rights to the new owner for something stupid like a hundred mill. In short, yes. The former owner, Meruelo, owns the rights to the Coyotes name and logos.

Interesting point. I don't know the details, but it seems like the Meruelo deal is kind of like what happened to the Cleveland Browns... the team moved, but the franchise was deactivated and stayed in Cleveland. The old team was assigned to a new franchise, the Baltimore Ravens. So when the Browns started up again in Cleveland, all the franchise records stayed with them.

Yeah it seems odd that the NHL let him keep the Coyotes name and logo, and I believe also he has franchise rights in Arizona for the next 5 years if there's an expansion. If he was so awful, why nut just cut ties with him altogether? The only thing I can think of is that by offering those things agreed not to fight the sale.

It's cabin fever time. We're all stuck in here together... just waiting....

Of course he doesn't. But when you said, ...you made it sound personal. That's all I was reacting to.

At this point, probably. Maybe I need to take a break from this place until something actually happens with the team. Assistant coaches, anything. Have a good night.

Yeah but they're not "eating babies" mean, are they?

He's going on and on and on about. We get it: He thinks Kevyn lied to HIM. Personally. And he doesn't like it. Can we move on now? To be honest, the real problem is that there's very little going on in Sabreland. Okay, Lindy was hired. But there will be few, if any, roster changes before the playoffs are done and we're all ready to start next season.

When I first saw it a few months ago I played it over about 10 times. He really nails the Morrison impersonation.... like uncannily so.
