I would have given Wiz a look.

What's the point? He's just going to snap his leg in the first game of the season.

Went for 2 to win with no time remaining. Whatever. Preseason. Jones looked really good and really bad. Didn't see a whole bunch of EJ, numbers weren't fantastic, but not ints so that's good. Officiating was horrible, as usual.

That's fair. We'll see what happens. I don't like Buffalo's chances. Never did.

It is what it is.

He was a 3rd round pick, sure he was the Hobey Baker winner, but there have been some major busts that have won the award in the past 15 years.

You could put Tom Brady on the Bills and he can take us to the Super Bowl and while leading us on the field, he trips and breaks his ankle. That's the kind of luck the Bills have.

Jimmy Vesey is anxious to hear what other teams have to offer when he becomes an unrestricted free agent on Monday.
"Jimmy's, he really is an interesting kid. He has been very quiet about it. He hasn't talked much about it," said agent Peter Fish. "He and I and my other colleague Pete Donatelli, we talk to him maybe every week or so and kind of bounce things off. We've had some good discussions with the Sabres, but it's not something that's talked about every day. I think Jimmy just can't wait to see all the options, hear everybody out and make his decision and then move on." Fish added that people shouldn't believe the rumors about one team being favored over another

In other words it sounds like the agent wants any and all teams to call him. But the fact he brought up the Sabres could be we really like what the Sabres have to offer come try to beat it.

Also packing to move sucks more than the actual move...

I was told the Hawks are getting to speak with him first barring some miracle.

I was joking. I do like him, but he's had some rotten luck the past few years with season ending injuries.

He also said that it wouldn't surprise him if teams just happened to be in Boston next week, and wanted to talk. But there will be no formal hosting by Vesey. I guess the Sabres were lucky there, or maybe he just doesn't want the hard sell.

I think it's:

Hawks
Sabres
Toronto
Boston
Everyone else

In that order. He listens to Boston to give them a "chance" but I think it's Chicago or Buffalo.

That could be the homer or the 12 pack I drank and working on the other 6 in me...

If you add a high end guy it pushes everyone down one spot. Beats re signing those two and improves the top 4. This team has enough depth...the problem is they're playing above what they should be in terms of role.
- Sabresfan-365



I'm all for that,
But that's kind of a different convo

Girgs + Fasching + a pick is too much for Fowler
But Girgensons trade value is low right now, so I get it
I'd rather wait,
And make a smart trade

I'd prefer that we make the defense better,
But at the right cost

And if not...
I'm "ok" with out top6 defensemen

Throw it all out, as long as it's her's. Tell her that you are downsizing and her stuff needs to be moved to " storage ".

We're not gonna sign ex Sabres Weber and Coliacovo to be our 7th dman. Quincey, Seidenberg, Grossman, Bartkowski are the better options.
- mhp



I'm fine with all those names, but...
It's hard for me to see any of those guys accepting a 7th defenseman role
And definitely not a #8

Weber & Carlo would

She's the sentimental type. I'm just going to keep drinking more she's sleeping and if stuff doesn't make the move I'll have no idea what happened to it.

Hahahahahahahahaha for a few things you might need to add a "S" to one of those words or we will really think you might be a member of kiss but seriously I have a small closet and a small dresser the rest of the entire house is hers or my two girls who are 3 and 6 months. My hockey and ref stuff is at my work since it's an ice rink so besides that my golf clubs are in garage and that's all I have the rest of the crap I wanna throw out

Just curious as to how you came up with this list w/out any idea how Vesey is thinking. Is this your assessment of the teams involved.

I have someone that's on the Sabres training staff, those were the teams I was told a few months ago that were involved but the order was my opinion. I do think the Hawks are first.

I think Tanner and Mike Schoop are the same person. Just an observation based on how they both deal with criticism, and their "analytics at all costs" attitudes.
