Looking to buy some rims for my challenger. Looking for a website with great prices not named Craigslist. Any suggestions? Thanks.

No Sabres hockey for another week is brutal.

Granted, I just get frustrated watching/talking about them, it's still more fun when they play.

Looks like the narrative on limiting quality opportunities and our goaltending on these opportunities is very good.

If they could get more steady goaltending and defensive play on routine plays we could definitely make a push for the playoffs.

From the Pens blog:

"The team is chugging along without Bjugstad and he isn’t going to fill a need they are currently lacking in my opinion."

Figure out how to get him

The fascination with Bjugstad is mind boggling. All hype. Very little substance.

We definitely need that 'if you're lucky he'll get you 30 points' center.

Take a swing?

Bjugstad and Gally for Bogo and another salary dump.

For whatever reason, Botts loves former 1st round picks that have under performed. Lazar has made a nice contribution. Granted it's pennies on the dollar. If Botts can get a salary dump and unload Bogo for two offensively minded players, why not.

Why would Pittsburgh, who is well in position for a playoff spot need to take on the likes of a Zach Bogosian? Not saying I wouldn't do that, but it makes no sense on their end.

17-18:

49 points

Last year:

26 points in 64 games spread across two teams.

Is he hurt a lot? Yes, yes he is. But that may lower the asking price for a center who actually has the ability to score 50 points in a season. And at $4.1m per, the contract won't kill you next year

Under contract for one more year which is perfect to actually have a plan instead of "Cozens or Mittelstadt will solve it."

And then the contract goes bye bye when Dahlin gets paid and Cozens is ready

He had 49 points in 17-18 and we have no centers

It's not hype, it's just a realistic option at a position of need. He provides faceoff support and size at a desperately needed position and the contract situation is nearly perfect

I mean the Chuk for Bogo makes sense. Not that Pittsburgh should want anything to do with him, but Rutherford loves his hardnosed, poopty dmen.

But taking on 4.1M in salary for next year for a guy that should be earning half that amount is just not really that great. I mean yeah if they're taking Kyle Okposo then fine, but they're not. Otherwise you're wasting cap asset on a player you can find in Rasmus Asplund.

He did all that on a team that was loaded with depth, something this team doesn't have. This team needs a 2nd line center. He isn't one.

This right here is a very unlikely scenario, despite the latter portion of the post about the young developing centers. Find an actual 2C and spend actual assets instead of CONTINUING to bring in lowgrade trash that he's been doing for 2 (frank)ing years now.

I'd rather have (frank)ing Bonino.

Pittsburgh thinks Bjugstad is a useless 3rd line center. And we want him to be a 2nd? (frank) sakes.

Well I think it's a reasonable target. Unless the fairy 2C mother is going to drop Malkin in our lap, I'll take a Bjugstadt or Bonino in the interim

OMG, THIS BOARD IS AWFUL.

THE FULL LOT OF YOU HAS NOTHING SENSIBLE TO SAY.

Stop female doging. No one here has a clue. None of you knows anything. And do not tell me you do. Cause, you do not.

Every single one of the female doges means nothing. None of us work in The front office. Everyone is relying on a friend of a hairdresser.

Oh, and, no you do not know anyone.

Raise your hand if you have ever played? Aye.

So much more difficult than the pedantic crap and nonsense that is spewed here.

May God have mercy on your souls. Good grief Charlie Brown, there are jackwagon everywhere!

Jim Rutherford purposefully traded for Gudbranson.

Bonino is more likely given Nashville's position in the standings anyway.
