We win the cup that year if this hit doesn't happen.
- The_Inkwell

Yep

Carolina basically got a free cup

Keller for sure too.

There is some serious talent in the top this year.
Pretty sure jbotts has noticed.

Not exactly a bold prediction here

Sabres in the bottom 5

They need more high end talent.
Finishing at the bottom helps.

The problem is I have no faith in this new draft system with the disaster that happened last year I just can’t trust it

To think we could be the worst team and end up at 4 is absolutely ridiculous and we could be in the same position next year Smh

It wasn't his fault. I saw it on Saturday night and I wanted to talk to him about it. Should have PM'd him

Big win by the niners

You know, I don’t have a huge problem with it IF I had confidence that it was totally legit and not rigged by the NHL in some form or fashion...and they refuse to become transparent in the process, making it even more suspicious.
I take last place and plan on drafting fourth...anything better is a friggin bonus...not a bone-us

We have 2nd last almost locked down.
That's 5th pick overall at worst.
Odds are 3 teams do not jump ahead of the sabres.
Sounds like there are between 3 and 5 real difference makers in the draft.

And

We're probably picking early again next year.


On the bills front:
Keep tyrod or go free agent qb and later draft a qb.

Draft 2 o line
Draft a rb
Draft a dt

2 1st and 2 nds

Every one wants a qb. Can't win with out a good one. Need to protect him first.

I have faith in the bills and the scouts for the first time in twenty plus years:

Trade down- pick tre white
Picked zay jones
Picked Dawkins
Picked Milano

This is a great draft. With mcdermott in charge

Definitely agree with the draft conspiracy theory.
The league assigns players to teams.
Looking at 5th pick for finishing 2nd last
Hopefully our empty arena helps with the fix

Regardless, he's right. This is a hockey blog, and he should assume he can come here without star wars spoilers. I messed up and ruined the surprise for him. I genuinely feel terrible about that

Now living in Florida and not going to any games anymore, I was shocked the other night at the attendance levels in the arena, judging by the broadcast the other night.
Holy crap, it looks like 1/3 of the arena is empty.
T-Pegs has to notice, it will be interesting to see what level of patience he has going forward.

As a side note, it would be awesome if the fans totally boycotted the next NHL televised game...you know kinda like a millennial protest! Lol!

Ahh, you F’d-up.
You realized it and apologized for t.
Don’t do it again, all is good.
Move along.

You should've shut it down, instead you continued on.

I don't give a (frank) if you put a spoiler tag I can see many posts at once. You put them up the day after the movie came out.

Edit: I will spoil one episode for you. When that is, who knows?

I'm a little pissed at you, but he should've shut it down. He didn't. I only saw part of it, I don't think anything was really spoiled. I read really fast so by the time I see the spoiler tag it's too late, because I'm already onto the next line or 2.

You don't have a history of doing stupid poop, so you get a pass.

The game the other night came during a snowstorm. I'm surprised that many people actually showed up.

Haha thanks, but it really is 100% my fault. He wouldn't have brought it up had I not said something to him. This is my last comment on the subject. I'm sorry. It's 100% not Gerbe's fault. I should have PM'd him

They show the entire lottery drawing. How much more transparent do you want them to be? They just broadcast the actual drawing on Canadian TV, SN I think, I can't remember, but I watched it last year. I remember making fun of Bettman because he said "3" but put up 4 fingers.

The whole season, key center has been pretty empty. The weekday games almost half the seats are open.

Sabres announce the total tickets sold for the game. They never announce the real # in attendance.

I'm sure tpegs noticed. Or Russ Brandon has noticed for sure.

The thing is:

Terry and Kim are smart business people.
They studied the nhl formula for success.

Asides from getting lucky with late picks
The way to win is thru drafting high end talent.
They are not going to deviate from the nhl formula. Empty arena or not.

That's what every team does.

It was more empty than normal. And that was due to the snow.

It didn’t help that you quoted it

So now it's my fault?
