It's annoying watching Mike Smith play so well. A week sooner and the Yotes would be out of reach.

The American/Canadian thing is so dumb and irrelevant.

Pominville grew up in Canada and is "American"
Myers grew up in Texas and is "Canadian"


There is no difference

Arizona have already been told they are getting the Number 1 pick.

Alrighty here goes nothing. Apparently he hated Myers. I mean hate. Called him a giant wussy. When media asked him about him he said he loved him and didn't want to trade him just to drive up the price. When asked more about the trade he said he didn't trade a 1st for myers. He traded bogosion for myers and a 1st for Kane. Also said Nolan has no idea what he is doing and is canned after the year. He said there was one occasion he walked into Murray's office and asked if he should bench Zadarov for Strachan. Murray just nodded and said do what you feel is best cause he doesn't want to make it feel like Murray is pulling the strings. He said he is happy he is the coach now though because that will bring him McEichel. He knew he was going to sell off Neuvirth three weeks ago and just remained quiet to drive up price but had multiple offers come deadline time. Then he realizes certain players like Hodgson aren't meant to be on the 4th line but since Teddy doesn't know what he is doing it only helps us get top pick so he is happy with it. We also have already spoken to Mike Babcock's agent (no clue how that happens) and he is looking at us, Leafs and reupping at Detroit for next year. Also the reason Lafontaine left was not because of the Miller deal it was because he hired Murray with the assumption he can learn the way to be the GM from Murray and take over in two years which would have been this offseason but no one else thought he should so he quit. Murray said he pleaded his case and won to Pegula. Also said he plans on using his other 1st and prospects to get Ryan O'Reilly in the draft is number one priority because the draft positions will already be done by then. And lastly he has McDavid at a hard #1 and Eichel at #2 because of nationality and skill. Really hates U.S. players. Said there is are only a select few that actually have the complete package and even said Patrick Kane has "warts" he would have preferred a Canadian instead with same skill set but understands the game better. He's all about hockey sense and a player's upbringing and how they handle media attention. If I forgot some it's because I'm still in shock haha

I think Clay is a Bill Friday night.
Browns tried to sign Cameron today
Fins signed Cameron today.

Clay was always wanted by Buffalo brass as first option.

Did some backreading.

In 12 games, on this team, Bogosian has 4 points.

How is that offensively inept?

- CaptainRivet

Myers had 13 points in 47 games

The LaFontaine part is most perplexing to me. Why would Murray take the GM's job for two years to train LaFontaine so he could take over? Why would he keep the job if he didn't know before he agreed to be GM? It was written somewhere by someone with inside info that Patty has a few screws loose...if this is true. This is pretty detailed so I don't know what to believe. It wouldn't surprise me that Beezer or someone spoke to Murray and he was open to them. Like I've mentioned before some behind the scenes Buffalo News guy told me that he talked to Murray at a bar and he was open with him.

Since Miami is apparently not going to lift the Transition Tag and Buffalo gives him an offer and he signs, Miami has 5 days to match it o not so he most likely won't be a Bill Friday night.

NHL should be so happy with The Three Tank Race....they have some keen interest being maintained in these markets which may normally just check out...and the rest of the league has interest as well, condemning the three (well just the Sabres).

Tank on!

I'm saving this quote until July 1st. I'm going to re-post it and we're going to have fun. If you nail most of this information, Steve Ott will be a thing of the past...maybe. I think the only things you can really prove here is the No'Reilly offer, Nolan being canned, Babcock's interest in the Sabres. It's not hard to say McD is 1 and E is 2. I mean, there's no way to prove it but I think the line is clearly drawn between the two. Rest is hearsay. Interesting none the less.

The LaFontaine thing sorta makes sense...but sorta doesn't. It lines up.. but it's dumb. Why go through all that effort hiring the best GM you possibly can, then expect to fire him in two years? It's silly. If he wanted to learn how to be a GM, he should be in an organization under a GM for a number of years. It's just goofy.
