This thread > value of third round pick.

 

Absolutely.  Have we ever had a thread about a third round pick go 60+?

I think it's genuine.  It's a gift.

I'm really hoping we'll have a good Cliff Pu thread in a few years.

Something something By-tor and the Snow Dog. Something Xanadu, something Cygnus X-1 Book II.

Dammit, you guys took all the good ones.

Why are we here?

Because there's beer.

Tap the keg. Tap the keg.

 

Why does sh*t happen?

Because sh*t happens.

Tap the keg. Tap the keg.

 

Jimmah, relax.

Don't get dizzy from the flax.

No Bruins hacks nor Blackhawk flacks.

No Babdicks in polyester slacks.

 

Just the facts.

Sabres are ready to kick some gluteus max.

 

It's a parallax, you dig.

You sit around, the small come to town.

Don't fall for no Blueshirt rig.

 

Your inaction caused Pi's reaction.

(Talk about random interaction.)

 

So who's afraid of a little lack of traction?

Jimmy didn't get no draft pick trade satisfaction?

 

Better run to your new (East Amherst) home now, boy.

A fact's a fact from the Falls to Holland.

 

What's the deal?

Sabres spun the wheel.

 

Sabres are hot. They took their shot.

Play w/ Eichel. He'll show he's not to be triffled.

 

The cards you're a holdin'.

If they turn cold, Columbus bound you could be strollin'.

 

Sabres' blue is golden.

TM favors the bold.

Joisey sucks, that's cold. (But true.)

 

Stop tossing off. Time to sh*t or get off the pot.

 

So go out there & line up with Jack & Kyle.

Rock the Mmarena.

Get busy.

 

Why are we here?

Because there's beer.

Tap the keg. Tap the keg.

With the Lawson and Dareus news today, if JV signs elsewhere, things are gonna get ugly.

Red Wings are out, Veesee says he wants to play closer to home.

If that's true it would eliminate Chicago, too.

And there it is, the reason he ditched Nashville

Yea, said he didn't wanna play in the southeast.

Buffalo is about 250 miles closer to Boston than Detroit. That and 25 cents will get you a gumball.

Also a hundred miles closer than Pittsburgh, for the record.

[LGR4GM]

He should just sign in Boston and be done with it.

Hope that's not the real reason. If so, there's only one logical landing spot. Uh, home. Why would 250 or 100 miles make any difference?

 

I think the real reason is that precious top six spot and big bucks down the road being an issue in Detroit. "Closer to home" is the breakup equivalent of, "It's not you, it's me."

What was the Lawson news?

[TrueBlueGED]

We should add a poll here for where we think he ends up.

He's getting hit with a game suspension for domestic violence.

Boston but Buffalo would be my 2nd guess

Car ride vs a plane ticket

 

Not expense, but time.

Don't underestimate captain jack plus we purposely drafted his best friend in rd 3 this year

[GrassValleyGreg]

I know posters are either in the "petulant little child" or "earned his right to choose" category (you're only two options), but Detroit too far away from home? Why would his management team let this go public? It's a 2 hour flight. There has to be 10+ flight options per day. You are an adult now Jimmy, a member of the workforce. You might have to go further east than the I-95 to earn your multi-mill salary.
