What exactly does terminate mean in this scenario? There's gotta be some advantage for them to take any action I would think.

The league better not let them get out of this a la LA and Mike Richards.

It means that they won't have to pay him actual money but the cap hit would remain

if we were a top 10 team in scoring goals, I would agree


this team can't score

banking on kids taking 3 more steps is what led to the demise of the sabres after briere and drury walked


if I can get a top 10 scoring d man, with speed for 4 years at 6 per, I do it all day long given what this team has done the last 9 years

- homiedclown



Differing opinions on why that is though. I think its a combination of wingers inability to finish and spending too much time in their own end. Its why Id prefer a more defensive guy. Someone who can limit shots against, good with puck recovery and turning it into a meaningful offensive rush the other way. I think you can find PP specialists at the deadline if need be.

If it's 4 years, I like the idea. If it's 6...I don't know.

Because I am bored I started thinking about the rumors of Buffalo trying to get to 3. It would have to take getting to 4 first I think.

Ennis for Fowler

8, Pysyk and this years 2nd for 4 (It might be enough but I don't think Edmonton would do it)

Then move 4 and Girgensons for 3 draft a Fin.

Sign Stamkos sign Vesey remember dream scenarios happening here

2017-2018 season starting lineup:

Fin Stamkos ROR
Vesey Eichel Reinhart
Kane Larsson Fasching
Foligno Schaller Delo

Bogo Risto
Folwer McCabe
Nelson Guhle

Lehner
Ullmark

If this was the happen the players that would be exposed wouldn't hurt the Sabres at all if they were to lose them.

I wonder how much value Ennis gets after that awful year both on the ice and due to his concussion.

Murray said he needs a PP QB and there likely isn't one available that's better than Yandle

According to the National Defensive Driving Safety Board, each year, 214 deaths are attributed to accidents caused by under inflated or poorly mounted tires.

Make sure you mount right and pump enough before you drive it home.

(There, you can take another 17 minutes.).

You mean tires kill almost as many people each year than "assault rifles?

Wow...stirring the pot!

What can I say I am bored and nobody replied to my dream post so I need some sort of conversation!

Plus being in Orlando that is all that is being talked about.

Not the fact that a gun shop owner called the FBI on this guy when he tried to buy military grade body armor, and bulk ammunition. Not the fact that the FBI didn't follow up on him. Just political parties (both sides) using this as ammunition (pun intended) to use this for "their" cause.

moulson is still here. you can probably move foligno though. i dont think anaheim wants ennis for fowler. would require another piece from us, probably an elc like bailey/baptiste or maybe foligno if they think they can get him for around 2-2.5. still might not be enough, d market is a sellers market. i think if anaheim would accept that, the d would be

Yeah I know but I was thinking after the expansion draft. Fingers crossed Moulson would be selected. Gionta's contract would be up. So would Gorges.

That's why I did 2017-2018

Sportsnet asked three current NHL scouts what their teams thought of Matthews and Laine. One scout was asked to compare Eichel and Matthews:

Scout Two: “I take Eichel over the pair of them. I just see Eichel having better skating, some speed, another gear that [Matthews and Laine] don’t have and I think that’s going to help him out and make him better longer into his career than the other two. And I think Eichel’s skill level is ahead of Matthews—[Eichel] gets underrated by a lot of people on that count."

The idea of getting Puljujarvi at #3 is really exciting to me. Interesting that there is some rumor chatter around this. I gotta think it would be expensive to get there though.

Yeah but that other scout said that Matthews is better than Eichel, that settles it -> conundrum
