Elias Lindholm with a maintenance day, i'm sure that's it for him also.
- SABRES 89

Then it's not really a maintenance day if he was on the ice

Johnny Gaudreau had to take a poop. Left practice. Media goes crazy.

maintenance half day

Btw i love the simmonds trade but i gotta wonder why they asked nj to retain 50% if botteril is not doing something else today..?
- bonecrrusher

Sabres now at 14/7/2. Means you're benching 2 F's now.

Also, even if you do nothing, you want room for bonuses at the end of the year. 5M Wayne Simmonds is really unpalatable.

I like the simmonds trade

low risk

team won 5 out of last 6

second team pp winger
middle 6 winger

has grit

great locker room guy


plus botts was trying to get him over the summer
- homiedclown

hated it at first blush, but like it now. this team needs grit and he has it, and can still score.

retained salary

Better be something else coming back to Buffalo. Way too high a price IMHO.
- TC4145

84,99 points in two years prior.. This year slightly off that I don't know, maybe

Risto 1st, 2nd and our best prospect not named Cozens. I don't know who that is.

with a maintenance day, you're not on the ice in the first place though, as JG was??

If i had to practice today and I was a bigger name player Id go to my coach and pretend to talk to him, id tell him to pat me on teh back and id leave the ice just to piss people off.

Well since you follow Lebrun, you may want to watch sportsnet now because they said it.

Stop and give your best friend on the team a hug and skate off

Wow, AA would have been a nice get. That sucks.
- SABRES 89

meh, he has the worst plus minus in the league. I am sure the Corsi is off the chart. If you don't like risto, you would hate this player. Remember Ville Leino anyone...

stick a pickle up your a$$

retained salary

Yeah I know. Was answering the 'why is there retained salary' questions.

Johnny hockey is best friends with Eichel, saw those 2 and Gronk on Nantucket Island 2 years ago. In saying that, Cozens isn't in any trade for him in my book.

Hearing that Rangers and Hurricanes have been talking about a potential Brady Skjei trade but right now Carolina has cap issues so not clear where this goes..


Another good player possibly on the move to a good team....

I still am meh on it.
If he re-signs here ill be very meh on it.

Why stop there? Sniff an onion before practice.

I'm glad you got ahead of this.

IMHO, I still do like it. After this year, two more years of a decent contract and we give up 3 players yet to be engaged and one, I know this does not fly here, who would be traded and like it pr not, his leaving creates a hole that you have to figure out. We do not have the guy on this roster to backfill for Risto - whether you like him or not.

He's a possession/cycling dynamo
