I think we all agree we got a good return for Poms. I still believe Vanek can get a good return this summer anything beyond that his value drops. A 7mil cap hit can be hard to swallow but for one year isnt too bad especially on teams that have a ton of cap space plus he does not have any NTC or NMC to limit trade options. Here's to a Oiler Sabres cup final in the future

Would be awesome. I have always seen buffalo as an American edmonton. Blue collar hard working city that loves hockey.

at that point Id love to have the choice. My big thing is just like the bills I want the gm whoever it be whos making the real call to say im going after this guy who I think is best.

The Sabres always take who they deem best at their spot. That's why they took Grigorenko. They didn't think they had a shot at him. They couldn't believe he fell that far.

It's also why we've been defense heavy at the draft over the last 5 years or so. Just liked a lot of those guys better. The really didn't want to take a defenseman the year they took Pysyk, but said they couldn't pass him up.

I'd love to see them do something aggressive for once though and if they do fall outside of the top 5 make a move to get in it.

Dubnyk has been solid. Has a 920 save percentage last time I checked. He can still let a few softies in but he hasn't been the problem for us by any means. I wanted bishop as well. Apparently we just missed out.

But is he the answer? I dont see it, on paper the team looks so good

We are jealous of your young talent. We can't seem to figure out how to lose enough to get a top 3 pick. The last 2 games should have been sure losses against playoff teams, but we win.

with me at work you have highs and lows at work... like today I came in turn on the comp put hockey buzz, what if sports, my scottrade account, on the screen and just sat around shot the shiz and drank coffee

I've been buried at work the last 2 weeks or so. Just when I think I might catch a break, more gets piled on me.

Makes the days go by fast though.

but i really wanted forsburg one spot ahead of us but hey im anti russian and love the both picks as a whole.

I dont care if we trade every 2014 pick to get the two guys we want this year. Ofcourse then told that hurts the rebuild.... but does it ?

What do you do?

I handle loan documents for a bank. Gotta keep track of the collateral docs and insurance and stuff like that.

I won't post it because of the vulgerness but if u want some "after hours" laughs. Look on youtube for the 7th Floor Crew rap by former Miami Canes...

A rap these future nflers made as freshman.. beason, greg olsen, traveros gooden...

I used to work for Time Warner. Switched jobs back in the Fall. I'm looking forward to warm temperatures more than ever because I now have a great work schedule.

When I worked 2nd shift I would come on after work sometimes, but there never seemed to be much going on.

I don't either. It's certainly frustrating though.

Our record against the Southeast is what is going to keep us out of the playoffs.

We have 7 of the final 10 at home?

I'm excited about the future of this team, the young guns that are starting to rise up are really showing some heart out there. Who knows, this recovery period might not take as long as originally expected.

I hate to say it, but we have a legit shot at the 8th seed. 4 points back with even games played.
