11:30 AM - 15 Aug 2017

Very underrated flick.

One of my Sunday hangover favorites to watch.

All this damn watermelon I have to piss like a race horse

Colorado didn't even want this guy and everyone says he will cap at 3rd pairing. Hard Pass

Hard Pass?

That makes no sense

He's basically free
If he wants to come here, sign him & see how he develops
There's zero downside

Kale eaters wear turtlenecks.

I have never had a turtleneck only v- necks

Piss away those "coke sugar"

That is true but I don't think he deserves 1st round money ... But you're right no risk

I went from V's to just cutting the neck's right out of my shirts because (frank) the rules

brb gotta go piss again

She's pretty good looking
Is it that hard for her to find someone over 18?
Crazy

A couple hundred thou doesn't impact us one way or the other though
Only counts against the Cap if he's here
And if he's good enough that he's on the Sabres,
then I'm more than ok with the extra cap hit

im just enjoying how the "college FA's are brats" crowd from the Petersen days are the ones pushing hardest for this

Worst pain ever

I'm all about getting depth for the Sabres and Rochester.

I don't really care what they pay him.

I dont think Butcher is a brat, hes might be a bit of a cry baby if he really is upset that he didnt get an ELC when he did nothing to deserve it 2 years ago. Win the Baker, a national championship and will get an ELC bc the Avs didnt sign you 2 years ago...not sure how you can really be upset at them?

But he bet on himself and has become some overhyped UFA darling like we have every summer. Remember Mike Reilly from Columbus to Minny?

I dont think he brings any impact to the team that signs him but an asset is an asset and depth is depth. You can use that later so why not sign the kid. I wanted the Avs to sign him just for that reason alone, didnt think he would even get a shot at being on the Avs even with their depth

Worst pain ever

I think these college kids are kinda bratty
That said...
if a good one wants to come here I'm all for it
Why wouldn't I be?

And I guess I don't really blame them...
but that loophole needs to be closed

or some sort of compensation in all cases to be had, sucks for a team to put 4 years of development into a kid to get nothing out of it.

If a team wants to sign him, there should be a minimum posting price involved. I dunno a 7th rounder or something minimal at least. Or if you sign an drafted NCAA player who has opted for UFAA, teams are frozen from doing so for x amount of years so that will limit the amount of options a kid would have, not every guy will opt to UFA to sign in New York, Chicago, etc. bc year by year those options arent available

Bratty?

How is it any different than a standard FA refusing the current team's contract offer? If any one of you doesn't take working conditions and personal fit when considering a job offer, you're nuts.

If these guys are wlillimg to foregonthe paychecks for the requisite time frame, then the draftingvteam should look at itself.

That said, I can still be pissed that kids think my team isn't the right fit. Eff Feces and Eff Peterson.

I might be ignorant, but do the teams genuinely commit significant resources to development or is that primarily managed by the college club? I mean sure, two weeks each summer ... but more than that?? I really don't know.

Oh believe me it's been out
