"Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats" had me dying at the end when they try and make Charlie's dream book into reality, the bird with teeth, Wermhat's worm hat, running through the field with the plane chasing him like North by Northwest

He had two very impressive AHL seasons and lots of people thought he was going to be “the guy” but the injuries did ruin his career made him get a little “fat” but I really wouldn’t call him fat I would say he was not in hockey shape and he really didn’t give full effort into getting back

By 2 impressive seasons, you mean one?

So many great episodes....I remember seeing ads for the show before it came out and thinking "Oh I've gotta watch that - they're A-holes, just like me". Been a fan since day 1. Some of my faves :

Charlie Got Molested
Charlie Has Cancer
Dennis and Dee's Mom is Dead
Mac Bangs Dennis's Mom
The D.E.N.N.I.S. System
Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person
The Gang Broke Dee
Being Frank

I agree with a lot of your “scouting reports” of young guys

Start learning up on statistics & analytics
That’s the way the league is going

You are young enough & passionate enough about hockey that u could get involved for a living

Obviously you’ve got some contacts as well

Something to think about dude

Hunter Shinkaruk and Curtis Lazar have been absolute studs.

Yeah but that team would never quit and a team having chips on the shoulder usually pays off in the end

Not when they're figuratively and literally a midget team.

Has anyone seen any player vs team numbers for our 3 remaining RFA's?
Don't really give a poop about Ellie, outside of the comedic value, but am interested in McCabe's especially.

McCabe is decent
Pilut could be good

We’ll see about Samuelsson & Johnson,
obviously they’ll need development for a bit

Bryson & Cronholm are probably long shots,
(at least to be “good”) but they could end up being decent depth

Botts has done a FANTASTIC job imo at building the depth on Defense & at Center that we’ll need to be a really good team

laaksonen is a dark horse as well.

You gotta pay the troll toll, to get to that boy's soul.

The delivery of that line always makes me laugh.

Also if you put the profits into the profit cycle, you get more profit.

Elie easily deserves to be the highest paid player of all time.

I'd give him a 1 year 20M contract as a prove it deal.

And I'm sure it breaks some rule of the CBA, but I truly think he deserves it.

He was drafted 134th overall.

he had a boatload if injuries which always seemed to derail his season early on.

- dadeadhead


He was FAT and he played too much golden eye for N64 and he's 3rd cousins twice removed with our FAT boy who plays too much fortnite

No that'll be next summer when the bottom out and Leipold realizes his best players are too old and overpaid.

He needs to get Darcy in there to command the tank

There's a significant amount of current and former Bills from the 2014 draft class.

Sammy Watkins
Kelvin Benjamin
Jordan Matthews
Cyrus Kouandjio
Trent Murphy
Preston Brown
Spencer Long
John Brown
Dri Archer *
Jaylen Watkins
Ross Cockrell (Drafted 109th)
Maurice Alexander (110th)
Russell Bodine (111th)
Logan Thomas
Cyril Richardson
AJ McCarron
E. J. Gaines
IK Enemkpali
Randell Johnson
Seantrel Henderson

Neat. Bills don't have any of their draft picks from that year, and their top drafted current player is from the 2nd round. Sad bear.
