And I could say beer is for pussies, drink whiskey, neat like a real man, but that would be dumb. A real man orders what he likes, not something he doesn't so he can keep up the appearance that he's a bad ass.

But if I'm out, I'm not paying big money for good Scotch, if they even have any.

I'm a fan of lime juice or sour mix, so yeah, I like the way it tastes, piss off.

Just one question- how does a real man find out he likes to drink Long Island iced tea?

I like him too. I think they miss him in Rochester.
Probably send him back for the playoffs.

He's a tmgm guy,

Same with guhle and Antipin (kinda)

- Boss34


Botts strikes me as smart enough not to care if it was him, or someone previous, who drafted a particular guy to let that alter his evaluations

I certainly hope that’s the case

Even if Nelson is a 3rd pair guy next year...

Him + Guhle aren’t nearly enough to fix the defense imo

If we don’t get Dahlin,
I’ve got no clue how we are gonna fix the defense

Seems like trading O’Reilly or Sam or Kane is likely to only get us a “2nd pair” type

I’m not as down on Risto as a lot on here,
but it’s undeniable that he’s struggling playing too much in all the hard situations

We at least have to get a “#1” somehow
Maybe taking some pressure off Risto can let him settle in as a good #2

How are we getting that #1 though?

- jdfitz77



Many options might arise if we don't get Dahlin. If we get the #2 pick we can trade down to #5 and still take Boqvist who should develop into a top pair guy. We'd probably pick up a second round pick and a good prospect for moving down in the top 5.

We'll also be receiving a prospect and maybe a first in the Kane trade. There are a lot of good Dman in this draft, so using that first for a Dman will pay off in a few years. Taking a Dman in the second round would be wise as well since some will slip.

We might not have a true #1, but adding Guhle, Nelson, and Boqvist should make us a lot more competitive.

It used to come into a place i worked at at least every other week for food
Super good dude
Funny

Weber didn’t really talk all that much

Idk that i ever met Regehr?
Nothing memorable 1 way or the other if i did

Ville Leino is a scumbag

- jdfitz77


Ott and Weber were both really good guys. And yeah, Ott is a funny dude. They're practically brothers. Weber lived with Ott growing up for a while for hockey if I remember correctly.

Regher was more quiet that night.. He ended up going to the hotel across the street with some slag from Snooty.

Seriously, she was like a 5...Might've been older than he was.

Sure, but the flip side is you can't keep changing coaches every other year. You'll never get anywhere.
- Wetbandit1


I agree, but Phil doesn't seam to be a motivator. You Just can't keep firing guys every year.

Not sure exactly what he brings. Hof ring respect.

I agree with 89, lindy looks to be in line for the rangers spot.

Do you think Terry and Kim hired Phil or jbotts.

There was some miscommunication about gms that interviewed here were asked about a czar being hired?

Wonder what jbotts said?

that wasn't very nice on his part now was it?
- Michael Pachla


Not the first time I’ve heard that kind of story about Kane

But that’s all I’ve ever witnessed or confirmed about his nightlife activity

Nothing criminal
Just drunken, douchy behavior

He was probably drinking Long Islands

he won't do that...nelson's been paying his dues in Rochester the past two seasons
- Michael Pachla


Won't do what? He's going to have a decision to make with Mittlestadt and his 1st round pick. They could both be on the opening night roster, not sign pro-contracts, or be in Rochester (maybe). Conventional wisdom would put them in Buffalo, but I'd bet against that.

My point is, JB is still in his honeymoon phase here and it's much easier to talk about slowly developing a 2nd rounder or college FA than it is a lottery pick. There will be a little more pressure on him next year.

Good goaltender would make everyone look better. He is the final defense .
- cabin


Idk who is available though?

I wouldn’t count on Ullmark to be the anchor
That would be a lot to ask of a rookie goalie with a suspect defense

Always liked Lindy, have no issue if they brought him back.

Look at us now, we see eye to eye.

Glad to move past the b.s.

Do you think lindy left angry ?
He still owns a home in Clarence from what I hear.

Always thought it was nice that he and his wife had all the young Canadian players out for dinner during a buffalo tournament

Can he really be that angry though? He was here for what? 14, 15 years?

Seriously, what else can be said?

I like Casey Nelson, hopefully a 5 or 6 d next year?
Are they playing him to shop him or because they like him.

Rochester has lost 5 straight?

Any correlation?

- Boss34



He’s our new backbone book it

There is 100% correlation, the kid is nails

Wait until Nylander gets up here

I know they made Miller take off the Miller Time thing because it could be construed as being commercialized.

What possible reason could they have for telling her to remove the Statue of Liberty?

Agreed they're both lethal snipers but both have different styles of sniping you can't lose picking either or

But I'm a big Z fan I think that dude's going to win a rocket trophy someday
