Zucker may cost us a Dman and a prospect, not Risto.
- SABRES 89


Well they're set on the right, so something along the lines of McCabe and a B prospect? Works for me. Although Scandella would be better

I love the see-saw battle of "Botts got played like a fiddle" vs "Overpayment for a guy who doesn't score 40 goals" constant argument here.

Homies. You heard it here first

Vesey for a 3rd. Done

- Buffalo39



As much as I appreciate us getting another 2/3rd line winger who COULD score 18-25 goals... I don't like giving up a 3rd for a guy who already balked at signing here once. It's basically a 3rd rounder for a rental player who MIGHT score 15 goals.

am left to wonder if all the analytics talk, both am and pm, as well as schopp's incessant talk about fantasy and gambling is driven by the producers who want to appeal to a younger audience, namely millennials...

just a thought

- Michael Pachla


Analytics are fine. I believe in them, if presented properly with a heavy emphasis on context. The problem is, they latch onto Kevin from Tonawanda saying Colin Miller is so good because look at those blue bars! TRADE FOR COLIN!

Colin is good at the role he plays. Soft minutes. He dominates them. You know who else was good at soft minutes before he left Minnesota?

Marco Scandella. Not comparing the two, just making a point that analytics without context are (frank)ing garbage.

Their audience is 18-65. Appealing to everyone is fine. But they did a (frank)ing soap opera draft. (frank) them.

I'd like to keep McCabe but you gotta give to get I guess.

So where does Vesey fit?

Third line, second line?

If he's on the 2nd line, we may be in trouble again

Maybe Fletcher will take Scandella back?

Hopefully they didn't acquire Vesey because they were dealing VO in another deal for a 2C and needed another body after Skinner before Sheary.

He really wanted to play for the Rags. No reason to feel like a jilted ex girlfriend about it. That said... I don't love it.

Where the speed limit is posted 75 and the state was under water up until like 2-3 weeks ago.

I was driving to Brookings and about had to take a canoe.

I’m a little unhappy getting vesey the press conference is going to be so awkward

When they ask so you .. didn’t want to come here last time how are you feeling today

Just get his value up and trade him at the deadline

Sorry, flagged you by accident.

Only goats we have are at the zoo. Maybe a bison? Would be rather difficult due to overall size though.. Yeah..

A man living in Pennsylvania calling someone in SD a hillbilly basically is rather rich. Outside of Pit/Philly... PA is basically West Virginia and meth head capital land plus fracking. I spent a lot of time in Williamsport, State College, Jersey Shore, areas... it's BAD.

Speed limit is 80 bro, and if you're not going 85 GTO of the way. And Brookings sucks. I may be biased, but the only place to live here is Sioux Falls.

I got stuck in Aberdeen for a week. The hotel water was yellow. I got food poisoning from a gallon of water I bought at a gas station.

What a stay.
