I know you have done a lot of research on Dmen so I'm genuinely interested to understand your characterization of Hamonic's last season as very medicore,but regard DeMelo as better overall.
I find the statistics, largely in Hockey Reference as not providing a ton of value....I tend to look at
- compare OZS% vs CF%
- PDO %
for a general picture.

- IonSabres


PDO is puck luck in many ways.

I compiled everything together including zone start % (offensive, neutral, and defensive), GAR, WAR, SPAR, xGF, GF, CF, CA, xGA, GA, and other factors.

If it's that easy an answer from the Sabres side, it's an indication that it's not enough from the Chicago side.

I don't know where Gerbe gets his info, I do know the Sabres tried to get him about 2 weeks before the deadline. I would say it will be revisited, but I haven't heard done deal.

if you could move montour and a pick for strome

move risto to the blue jackets for anderson and a prospect


move mccabe for a prospect and helm
move johansson for prospects
sign Hamonic and Dilion

bring back Pilut and add a Soderberg (1 year) or Craig Smith


you got something



probably have to break up the log line


still have casey, cozens and tage in pipeline

helm and soderberg comes off the books in a year if you get them



Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Strome-Smith/Soderberg
Kahun-Helm-Anderson
CJ Smith/Lazar-Asplund-Okposo


Dahlin-Harmonic
Dilon-Joker
Pilut-Miller


it would be close to the cap, assuming you get reinhart for 7 mil
olofsson and strome on 4 mil bridge deals
kahun for 2.5 mil
Dilion and Harmonic for round 11 mil per total
pilut 2 mil

Is the nhl going to have a flat cap? Some people are now saying the nfl is approaching $40M decrease. Crazy times.

Question : If you were Brandon Beane, would you dump Jake Fromm right now and sign Colin Kaepernick ? I think I might do that.

It would be sort of hilarious if Chicago traded us a good RD in Jokiharju for a bad forward only to then give us a good forward for a bad RD a year later

I don't believe these protests and the point of BLM movement, nor Kaepernick's position was limited to murders. Right?
Incidents involving murders by law enforcement have been the trigger point however.

When you listen to people of color they are pretty consistent in their point about the desire to be treated equally, especially by law enforcement, but society as a whole...and use an example of being pulled over for no specific reason, or stopped while walking and being asked for ID and subjected to alot of questions.
It's wrong, period.

- IonSabres


Well said. This is what I try to convey to people. To me these incidences are tipping points or triggers, like you said. It’s rarely, if ever, about the one incident but about not feeling like they’re are being treated equally. Eventually something happens to make people say they’ve had enough. I think the fact that this sparked protests around the world speaks volumes.

That’s my two cents, which is probably worth half that.

"Fall into single file lines
like army ants
Yeah fall into those single file lines
and complete the plan"

Conservative talk show host Candace Owens has been critical of making a hero of George Floyd, and has pointed out his criminal past. She tries to point out the myriad of problems within the black communities that only serve to make their situation worse. Everything she advocates for is, in her view, how to make the black communities stronger, and their lives better. As far as I know, she's allowed to have an opinion of George Floyd, even if it doesn't align with what she's "supposed to say". Cowardly action taken by gofundme. Their statement below is a big pile of steaming bullpoop.
“GoFundMe has suspended the account associated with Candace Owens and the GoFundMe campaign has been removed because of a repeated pattern of inflammatory statements that spread hate, discrimination, intolerance and falsehoods against the black community at a time of profound national crisis”

I would stay away from Brodie. Watching him play regularly, he is good offensively and yes can play both sides but his defensive flaws, avg to below avg hockey iq outweigh what he produces offensively. Giordano covers up a lot of Brodie's flaws and halfway through the season Brodie was pushed down to 3rd pairing.

Yes and no. Of course he is "allowed" to do what he wants. Nobody is going to physically hold him up and make him stand. He also works for a private company that is "allowed" to have standards for employee behavior. If he wants to violate the terms of his employee handbook, he accepts the consequences. Just like customers are allowed to have the opinion about his opinion, and the NFL's opinion. Spend your dollars accordingly. Personally, I thought what people who objected should have done is ignore it. The outrage is what made it an issue. Idgaf what he does, personally. I thought his "cops are pigs" socks were a far worse transgression than kneeling for the anthem. What gets me is that people can't seem to wrap their minds around free speech anymore. On both sides.

Gofundme statement, edited for accuracy "Candace Owens has made a habit of pointing out ways in which the Democrat Party has failed, and even abused, the Black community. We find her pointing out the Racist in Chief's policies that have actually helped blacks more than Obama/Biden did in 8 years extremely inflammatory and inappropriate"

I am a terrible person.

That’s been decided.

I support the Cheeto rather than one of THE MOST CORRUPT politicians the world has ever seen.

Even though I voted for neither.

Apparently changing your mind is abhorrent.

Unless one sides with a certain side.

Clearly I’m the @sshole.

Still waiting to be quoted.

Social media is biased towards conservatives, especially Facebook. If you put any fact on there that make liberals or African Americans not the victims they are they instantly delete your account

Liberals only allow you to hear there view. If they don’t agree with what you say even when you have the facts backing you up , you are banned from social media.

If the censors don’t get to you first, White people who never did anything in their lives to help a black person will then start calling YOU the racist one....

The hypocrisy is unfathomable

I watched the entire 17 minutes and what she said overall made sense. There were some points I didn't agree with but I got the gist of it.

Having said all that, I reminded myself that a take like that appeals to her audience which is conservative. Am also of the opinion that's she's an opportunist and very good at selling and defending her opinion. I firmly believe that she's smart enough, talented enough and crass enough to take any stance and convince an audience, her audience, that she's right.

At the end of the day, as a black woman, if she wants to take that stand it's her choice and the repercussions or plaudits are hers.
