"The definition of insanity is typing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

Fixed for hockeybuzz.

Kylington was 4? I never saw that. But wow.

Depending on who you ask you'll get a vastly different answer for this but imo he got screwed by his current team

Whaley has been quoted as being interested in going after a RB in lieu of signing Spiller for some time. It was a position of weakness this year, said the 26th ranked run offense. Why are you ignoring this?

I am not ignoring it.
Why are you trying to ignore that we had the worst offensive line in the league last season which is why a RB was the last thing that we needed before you fix the offensive line?
Incognito was a start but certainly did not fix our problems on that line.
Richardson,Kouandjio were a train wreck last season.
Urbik and Pears were the worst starting guard combo in the entire league last season.
I don't blame the backs one bit running behind that line.
That line was an embarrassment at run blocking.

Refuting rumor with a rumor?

Many sites had it
McDavid
Eichel
Hanafin
Kylington
Strome

Now it would've been up to what team had the pick on their needs but that was where it was at prior to the season started.

Seeing him in the mid 20's now, has me not wanting to move the other 1st. You could walk away with one generational player and one that was a notch below.

Yeah the two forwards and the two defensemen.

Kylington's knee injury has had him falling for a while now.

Heh wow. I don't really trust the rankings prior to the beginning of the season, but they seem to ever hardly change once the mid terms come out. If a guy continues to drop, it might be a bad sign. I understand he's been a bit underwhelming in recent weeks.

His falling reminds me of when Pulkkinen fell to rd 4 in 2010. Prior to his injury he was talked about as a top 5 pick.

I am not ignoring it.

Incognito was a start but certainly did not fix our problems on that line.

I mentioned previously that we've had a terrible line for years yet Freddie somehow succeeded two years ago and Spiller a year before that. I blame the backs more than the line, which, yes, has been atrocious

Right. Not saying you're wrong, I'm sure he's a great player. If he's available by the time we pick again, he just may be the BPA.

Matt Cassel is the new guy. Wow.

The #Bills have traded for Minnesota QB Matt Cassel they announce. There's that other move.

QB play has a bigger impact on the effectiveness of an offensive line than anything else.

Matt Cassel is the new guy. Wow.

ohhhhboy

Matt Cassel is the new guy. Wow.
- Slump Buster

On par with Orton.

Not the greatest move but not terrible if he can stay healthy.

I'm going to wait on the analysis of this one. Is he better than..ugh... McCrowny

UGH!

The Bills have agreed to a deal sending undisclosed picks to MIN for QB Matt Cassel. Wow

some Dumb GM will take him thinking oh poop next milan lucic etc ..

all these GMs fall in love with big 6'4 guys i just don't get it
- gerbe75pts

Isn't that the truth, Rasumussen was the next coming as well. That didn't turn out to well.

He better be the back up I will be so pissed if that's our QB

4.75 cap hit.

We sent (frank)ing picks wtf ugh ugh ugh

- gerbe75pts

I'd be shocked if he isn't the starter. I doubt EJ beats him out and there is no way we would get another quasi-starter to sign here to compete with two other guys.

Bills just traded for Matt Cassel too
