I wouldn't care. Everyone on the roster has a price. If I ever buy the jersey of an active player then that there is a player I would actually be mad about them trading.

 

Can't foresee myself doing that with anyone on this roster. Not yet.

 

I've already invested in Reino.

All hoity-toity in your Numminen white-goathead.

 

(You have one of those, don't you? That's a goddamn amazing sweater if I'm remembering correctly)

It's actually a Numminen Winter Classic. He never wore it though because he had to have effing heart surgery.

 

I loved that dude. Wish he didn't have to get the axe with Lindy.

He's still the best defenseman I've ever seen in B&G (2005-now for reference)

And he was so much better before we got him.

So poised so smart.

Remember when he got suspended for having the temerity to suffer a life-threatening medical condition? Pure class, OSP.

Pilut seems like a solid edition. Needs to get stronger but ppl say he's smart and good.

[Iron Crotch]

Can I call him Pontius?

For those not religious, how about "Otto"?

I got the reference loud and clear.     Over. :P

[dudacek]

Roger that.

[LGR4GM]

Surely you must be joking.

I just want to wish Jason Botterill good luck.  We're all counting on you.

Maybe we can find a rugged 3rd pairing guy in a Turkish prison.

Surely, you can't be serious.

Also, the Otto Pilot getting oral was, when I saw it, one of the funniest movie gags ever

There he is! Was wondering if it would be you. I googled it after I posted and noticed my error.

 

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

[Tondas]

Seems like we all picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[DarthEbriate]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop doing Death Sticks. Wait! Wrong idiom!

 

I like the signing now that it’s been made legal. Put on 10# and be a solid 5/6 who can be on a second power play? But I think he plays almost the entire season in the AHL. Post trade deadline callup possibly.

Maybe he was promised a roster spot to sign?  Have to see the contract.  If it's a one-way deal, I could see him in Rochester to begin with.  At least he gets paid the big bucks regardless.  But, would he sign a two-way deal?  Did the Sabres have to compete for his services?

Face it, Kent. You didn't throw up in front of Dean Wormer, you threw up on Dean Wormer. ;)

True. And hopefully yes.

But I would rather see him get a top-pair role in Rochester and adjust to the ice, than to do the Antipin and get 6/7/8 treatment... particularly if he’s good.

 

Per his highlights it looks like he can get his shot through from the point. So that’s him and Risto and... Nelson if he makes the roster to start.
