A little birdie told me that Dahlin didn't give his all in the VO2 max today.




It's not a pot, but close enough.

SIXTY goals from Mitts?
I'd be happy with 20.
....unless im reading this wrong.

- seedy



I should have been more clear.

I meant actually being involved in goals. ( sorta like points, but not all secondary meaningly assists.)

Direct play

As long as he completes at least one pull-up he's fine

Vanek was always going to the Wild, had nothing to do with Pominville. The rumors started way before Pommer was dealt. He grew up there. I remember watching him win the championship at Minnesota with a bunch of Gophers fans at the ESPN Zone in Disney on Spring Break.

Hard to say either way. You sound pretty sure, for something that isnt factual.

Vanek and pommer played well on the ice together too

I've showed you examples. Prime example of vanek following pommer to Minnesota.

Yes these guys like to get paid and win too.

You lost another one fitz.

2 BIG LOSSES if you include the beatdown Stripes gave you in regards to #26 being available to dahlin.

And there’s TONS and TONS more examples where ppl don’t sign to play with friends

U think Vanek is gonna sign with us this year...
so explain why he signed with Vancouver last year instead of playing with Pommer?

Just bc it happens here & there,
doesn’t make it the rule
Much more the exception

Not trying to start anything but vanek tried coming back twice here sabres said no

Two different GM's so I think him coming here is dead imo

I'm hoping we can land Kovalchuk he's looking for 6m (2-3 years ) I'd do that in a heartbeat

So the sabres let Vojtech Budik go back in the draft

I thought he was going to sign with the year he had

Sabres didn't want vanek, we were trying to draft early

May not want him this year.
Signing him makes sense to me with our current team

I lived in Minneapolis when Vanek was a Sabre. I would meet people in the grocery store/target, etc with Sabres gear on and I would ask them if they were from Buffalo and they would say "No, just a fan of Vanek." Happened multiple times.
that fan base wanted him to come back and hoist the cup for the wild based on what he did for the U of M. Wild management probably felt that pressure to bring back a hometown favorite.

Again...
Moulson is now “Kevin Porter”

Did he come to Sabres camp last year?

It wouldn’t be in bad taste at all
It’s just acknowledging that Moulson is done with our organization

He’s basically Wade Redden, when the Leafs buried him
Did he attend their training camp that next year? Idk

If anything,
It’s probably in poor taste to bring him to camp when there’s ZERO CHANCE he will play for us again

What possible reason is there to bring him to camp?

Also...
he’s most likely bought out anyways

#26 is fair game
Once we loaned him to another team’s AHL squad, that was the end of Moulson with our franchise

- jdfitz77


For the record, Kevin Porter was in camp last year.

Que the rumors that he's tanking the combine so buffalo doesn't pick him.
