Jody Gage was a 12 time AHL all star.

So were Bob Mongrain, Geordie Robertson, Mal Davis, Chris Taylor and on and on and on...


Means absolute d!ck.

Pilut has looked good when he has played in Buffalo. This is a really cheap and horrible move by management/ownership.

If you cant afford him, sign to the 1 way and then trade him, he has value.

They wont know who won it if a team outside the top 7 wins it until after the Qualifying round.
- Mentalorgasm5


I still think the way they’re doing it is stupid

The Pens had the 7th best record this season,
and if they stumble against MTL (possibility if Price gets hot) then they’ll have a shot at picking in the top3
Total garbage
Lotto this year should only be for the teams who missed the playoffs

And i like the rule they used to have where a team could only move up a certain number of spots if they won
I’d love to see them re-incorporate that
This year would’ve made perfect sense to do that if u wanted to include the qualifying round losers in the draft

It would have to be VERY significant to get me to swap Lafreniere for Byfield

Have u given up on Cozens & Mitts?

Can never have two many Centers.

Centers can shift to the wing if need be.

We could make a list of who it did hurt

Mittelstadt and Grigorenko and thats just the sabres. have we learned nothing?

I am not saying Cozens shouldn't be on the team but you are talking about gifting him the 2C.

Why do I say gifting? Its Cozens or nothing. No competition.

Idk if it hurt them as much as them possibly not having... IT.

Hall or Seguin.

Laf or Byfield

Difference is Laf should be way better then Hall, and I see Byfield as Seguin. Give me Laf at one, and shouldn’t be a choice really

they kind of need him

kind of stuck with okposo


interesting to see if girgs is the third wheel, or they bring back lazar


or try asplund, smith or oglevie for that role

- homiedclown


I don’t think Oglevie or Smith will ever play here
Routsalainen could get a shot

Maybe they should continue their purge by getting rid of any staff who leak information to those outside the organization?

I think Larsson is much better in his own end then Gaustad ever was


When Goose did nothing after the Lucic Miller hit, I was done with him as a sabre

- homiedclown


I was just willing to concede the argument so that my overall point was the focus
Not which 4th line Center was better

Dude can’t get over Larsson being good now
At this point,
I’m not gonna bother to argue with ignorance

better trade skinner and a 4th for a 7th now



skinner, miller, casey, vesey, clearly in the ralph dog house


vesey probably walks

- homiedclown


Wasn’t Miller getting paired with Dahlin in the last part of the season?
What makes u say he was in the doghouse?

Brazil, FL, TX and AZ, among others, were taking this way too lightly.

trade for Nick Bonino

sign Larsson



if cozens or casey is ready it's eichel, one of them, bonino and larsson


move bonino and larsson each up a line if it doesn't work and plug either asplund, lazar, oglevie, ruotsalainen or davidsson on the 4th line


ruotsalainen might be ready for a third line role this coming season as he is a great play maker

- homiedclown


I don’t hate this idea
But even if we got Bonino, I’d still look to snag a legit 2C
*and everyone knows by now how much i like Bonino

Let’s say we can get Bonino (idk the Preds will trade him though)
We could still go after another Bonino level center as well
I’ve come around a bit on the Henrique idea
Mostly bc I’ve always liked him as a player,
just don’t like his contract
But we could probably get him very cheap bc of that contract

Eichel
Henrique
Bonino
Larsson

That’s a pretty good center group
Allows Cozens & Mitts to shift to the wings for the next year at least

Palm Beach County has made wearing masks in public places mandatory, as two of the three Treasure Coast counties have now also done. The third, St Lucie County, will most likely follow suit.

Orange County went last week. Last Friday I think. I haven't left the house other than my own yard. The pool is getting a lot of use right now. So damn hot out.

With the way they handled Pilut, who has looked good in buffalo, and Antipin, who wasnt really given a shot; I have no faith in players they sign from Euro.

Panarin would be back in the KHL if he signed with Buffalo instead of Chicago.

Sabres are either picking 3rd or 8th, according to sources I have made up
- jcragcrumple

That’s weird cause my sources have the direct opposite. Either 8th or 3rd
