Foligno-Reinhart-Gionta could be a good line. Wouldn't put up too many points but I think it's a good line to start his NHL career with and perhaps it can help Foligno's game as well.

Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere...

Bob Suter, a member of the ''Miracle On Ice'' team that won the Olympic gold medal in 1980 and the father of Minnesota Wild star Ryan Suter, died Tuesday at the age of 57.

Edit: Reported 18 hours ago so maybe it was mentioned somewhere.

I think Gionta will be key to developing all the talent we have coming up the next few years . He may be a step slower . But Murray brought him in for his character. The C goes on his chest this year I hope.

I saw that yesterday. Not sure if anyone mentioned it on here. Pretty sad as he was only 57. That's how old my mom is. I would be devastated if something happened to her.

Where did you see this? Everything I read said they are not voting on the policy, and I have gordon on all my teams, because I thought he was going to win his appeal.

his 25+ goal seasons are pretty much long gone, but he had 18 last year and the choices at rw are staff, stew or....Flynn...

*shrugs*

- Michael Pachla

18 goals is a top-6 forward on the Sabres - sadly.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that the standards in the league's new drug policy will apply to players retroactively. In other words, Broncos WR Wes Welker will be allowed to play as soon as the policy is in place. The players are expected to vote on the policy "in the next few days." That gives Welker a chance to play in this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. We'll continue to track this situation, but Welker needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues. Check yours to see if he was dropped. As for Browns WR Josh Gordon, his situation is "more complicated," according to Rapoport. 2014 suspensions will fall under the new policy, but Gordon's occurred in the 2013 league year. "Wait and see on him," Rapoport says.

Good, I don't have Gordon in any of my leagues.

I did have Ray Rice in one though, so I got that to look forward to

I'm in the same boat as you. Lucky for me, I have Forte and Morris as well and Rice was my #3. I picked up Carlos Hyde. Figure he's gonna steal some goal line work from Gore. Gore also has had injury issues in the past, so if that happens, I'll be in good shape.

Fantasy football eases the pain of being a Bills fan.

1st step is admitting the problem.

2nd step is doing something to change the issue.................

Step 3 not listening to people on the internet......

I've never understood all the hate against the Bills yet the love for the Sabres...they have won the same amount of Championships (that matter). The Bills have more players in the HOF than the Sabres (sure ones a murderer/convicted felon) and in fact a Sabres had an owner that went to prison as well. Both teams are my city's team. They are MY team I might not like how crappy they have been but they are still my team.

Sabres had more success recently.

Bills organization is/was a joke and they were barely in the NFL.

Ugh, that guy.

I see Gio playing top 6 then gradually moving his way down to the third line full-time by the end of this deal. Ideally he'd start moving between them as soon as the end of this season, certainly by next. Armia, Grigorenko, etc. start eating his offensive zone starts, etc. Methinks Gio knows the score and would be fine with it. Esp if his jersey sells well and has one of the first three letters in the alphabet stitched onto it.

The Bills have more conference championships than the Sabres though I mean people want to bag on them it doesn't make sense. The early 90's were the best stretch any organization in this city had. The Sabres were good for 2 years and mediocre/terrible since. I just don't understand the hate for one crappy franchise and the love for basically the same crappy franchise of a different sport.
