Why yes, yes I am. There are several instances in this thread alone where rumor turns to completed deal soon thereafter.

Big whoop. You know how many rumors we've seen around here over the years that wind up being nothing? You know how many moves we've seen that have come out of nowhere with no rumors at all?

At the same time, distractions are distractions. He's just a headcase. I like the talent, and he does some nifty things.

Most of these guys mature out of it given time. Imagine if Tampa had actually traded Drouin?

the Kane deal was definitely a deadline deal. just because it didn't happen the day of doesn't mean it wasn't deadline influenced 

 

I don't think that's the case.  It was in the works for some time, IMO, and was just finalised sort of near the deadline.

Sure, but I am just pointing out the reality of most deadline trades. I can't remember a 'hockey trade' happening on any trade deadline day.

Yup. When people wax poetic about Regier's value in trades, they never seem to remember that one. We got freaking fleeced.

Except all the times when there is as evidenced several times in this thread.  I'm not saying there always are rumors, but quite often there are.  But don't let that get in the way of you being an .

 

There has been a huge void of anything Sabres related today for the most part, which was and is my original point.

I think what Thwomp! is saying not so much that where's smoke, there's fire, but rather, there isn't likely to be fire at all if there's no smoke.

Except, of course, we know that's not true. Based on, I don't know, the history of forever. Rumors have pretty much no bearing on anything actually happening.

No trades per WGR.

 

So.... no fire.

 

Completely understandable.  Everything is fine and dandy with the Sabres.  Stay the course!
