I just want to see better hockey this year.
Anything is better than last year.

This. There is going to be real hockey played in the 716 this year and I'm super excited about it.

I bet the same roster and a different coach would have made us 4 or 5 games better.

If Girgensons was healthy, we probably had 4-5 more wins.

Basically what i was saying is, in the future he COULD fleece a team with Franson if he returns to his potential.
Not that he is fleecing a team like he has in the past.
Because if that were my point, i would have used the word "again."

So, this is kind of like the game of telephone. One persons lack of reading comprehension starts a whole other conversation that doesnt even have anything to do with the original statement.

Well you said "when GMTM fleeces another team in a trade" which I read as he has fleeced teams in the past. So wow my bad. And you are still implying that Murray has the ability to fleece teams. And I was wondering what you are basing that on.

5 games better with a competent coach
5 games better with average special teams
5 games better with more skill up front
3 or 4 games better in attitude alone

18 or 19 more wins

36 or so points higher in standings

that doesn't include what could happen if they gel

That was by design.
A sack of potatoes has a better system than Nolan.
And i like the guy, he's just not a modern NHL coach.
And i guess 4-5 games is technically better than last year!

Every one of those guys put Buffalo in the playoffs.
That would be nice.
I dont want to get my hopes up.
The Sabres could be monsters this year or not gell at all and have the wheels fall off.

I too like Murray's deals with the exception of the Lehner deal. However, not sure he fleeced anyone on any of the trades. I think the last "fleecing" occurred when DR got a 1st for Gaustad. And I hate Regier.....

mhp, I golfed Caledonia Country Club on monday, have to say that is my new favorite course. Loved the up and down, drives from 900ft above the green. Felt like i was in a video game! Non members can golf there on mondays it was $27 for a bag of balls, 18 with a cart, and lunch with a beer. I would of paid 65-80 for just the golf alone.

That's just the Atlantic division. Fifth or sixth probably would miss the playoffs.

That's a great deal. I gotta check that one out. I played Ironwood a few weeks ago, loved that course.

It was like playing golden tee... hitting off the side of a mountain and then have a 296yd par 4 straight up hill so you only drive about 150 lol. They run the deal may-june31st and then sept 1st- end of season

Every. Trade. Leading. To. Jack. Eichel. Fleeced. Every. Team. Murray. Traded. With.

my opinion of course.

- thatsapickle

Like the Halak plus a 3rd for Nuevirth...who was moved for a 3rd?

So we gave away the Isles goalie for free........Fleecing?

McNabb + 2 2nds for Hudson Fasching and a 4th liner......Fleecing?


Myers who has outplayed Bogo since the trade, Armia, Lemieux who's continued to look good, a 1st and Drew Stafford who resigned...for Kane and Bogo is a fleecing?

Some of those lies can be tough. Ironwood is hilly but not like that lol.
