Sup dude! How you been hangin? Wanted to let you know it was nice meetin ya at the wild game and letting me and my pops chill with you guys for the third. What were the odds we’d run into each other? Haha.
- Sabre_Tooth

I'm good, you? It was crazy, you were the only sabres fans I talked to all night. Not so sure all the butt hurt wild fans around us liked us celebrating those two third period goals that happened right in front of us though, my buddies wife included. (frank) them, go swords!

her name California?

I really like the thought of kovy and pommer flanking casey for that second line

he has been atrocious this season

That is just... A weird statistical anomaly. Good work dredging that odd factoid up

I like the lines, considering the options available
- jcragcrumple

They crush the Sharks(highest point percentage all-time .675), but can't beat the Blue Jackets(lowest .417), teams on opposite sides of the "good" spectrum for a while where you'd think it'd be the other way around.

14 points in 23 games, leads the team

I will gladly take that production on our second line

We are 9-1 in our last 10 but are 30th in the league in corsi for and dangersous scoring chances for. We aren’t getting many scoring chances yet winning. Pretty remarkable
- Pegullaville

They're also not allowing many SA or high danger chances. It's been pretty "dull".

What do you think of Anisimov?

So he prob checked out once he realized that the kings are not going to be very good. Not a good thing for sure. Your prob right. Don't need that kind of work ethic tainting this group of young players...

At 35 y/o $6.25m for 2 more years and a full no trade clause until '20-'21 I don't think he would even be in any discussion. If anything, I would look to the Pens with Kessel if you are looking to add a veteran winger. 31 y/o at $6.8m for 3 more years. Botts has a relationship with the Pens and perhaps could work out a deal. Pens struggles may have them looking to shake things up.

One last thing on Kovy and his age is that playing in the KHL the past few years he was only playing 50-60 games as they have a shorter season. He will be 36 in April heading into playoffs having played more games than he has in 5 years.
- adambuffalo

Could also see that as less milage. Plus the KHL isn't as physical as the NHL, usually.

I'd take "Kessler" 10 times out of 10 though.

Winter has officially started, I'm a bit sad about that.

Twitter has a character cap. I'm sure they would've included them.

Not that hits matter, but I'm a little surprised Risto is first among defensemen and 5th overall.

We're not supposed to talk about rushing the rebuild

Actually been getting forced into watching Kings hockey games...

Kovi has been awful in his own end. Seriously, he doesn't skate when south of the red line. I believe he got like 6 minutes in play the other night.

Probably can get him cheap. Still not sure I'd want him, especially with our young group.

You know...culture and poop.

Edit: 6m 20s last game

That’s weird. It starts 12/21 around here.

I don't think this team can handle any more defensive liabilities. With our cap space hovering around 1m, hard to make it work anyways. It's a bad idea on many levels.

Could easily move Pommer out or perhaps convince LA that Okposo is the droid they were looking for. It could work financially, but agree we don't need any d-zone duds and he certainly has been.

I'd still be targeting a veteran winger that could score consistently. What you think of Wayne Simmonds?

My 2 cents about BuffaloHardHat.

BuffaloHardHat wasn't/isn't a bad guy.

He was going through a very rough period a few years back.
Everyone is human.

Anyway..
4-2 Sabres tonight.
Dahlin with the winner.

(frank) all this Kovy talk. If we are talking a playoff run, there's one rental I'm looking at

PRIME RENTAL: Wayne Simmonds.

With Philly becoming a straight poopshow with no goaltending they need to make some adjustments. With a perfect trade partner in the... Buffalo Sabres.

Buffalo needs more than just Jeff Skinner carrying the scoring load. This helps us for a playoff push this year with Wayne Simmonds UFA at season end and a reasonable cap hit at 3.95.

We dump some salary back with 2.4 Beaulieu and helps the flyers with some more veteran depth on the left side with the youngsters they have holding down the fort now.

Picks are to offset value here as well.


Buffalo Trades:

2018 SJS 1st Rd pick
D Nathan Beaulieu

Philadelphia Trades:

F Wayne Simmonds
2018 Phi 6th Rd Pick


Buffalo Waives F Remi Elie.

I would also assume some roster moves are made to adjust. What do you think?
