You weren't involved in the conversation, stuck your nose in and got all butt-hurt.

So it's your fault for joining a conversation that didn't involve you

don't post political crap, no place for it here. Seems you're a little upset regarding Trump.

Each loser team has a 12.5% chance for top pick.

A player there is two years away. They need to win now
Call Tampa

- Michael Pachla

Please dont call Tampa. That is one team that has come out on top of many trades recently.

Not sure what this boards fascination with Cirelli. He was playing on the top line this year, and only netted 44 points.

So now what's to stop a team like the Blackhawks from just tanking out, drafting Lafrienierre and then winning the cup again?

Feet got all mad because Bettman was talking about racism...

I had a retort directed at him.

Democrats love America and Americans so much they are willing to tear down statues, ban books and defund police just to stop Trump. They love America so much they would rather burn it down.

On a side not Hitler also defunded the police so his storm troopers were free to attack who they want. Storm troopers sound like Antifa in that scenario.

All I can say is prepare ourselves and buckle up. Probably a good chance of no presidential debates, continuous social media election interference, MSM full steam ahead in the Biden push, mandatory mail in voting followed by complete chaos. We are now seeing the true reason why Biden is running, not because he’s “average joe”, but because he’s meant to make all of what Trump has exposed with the Flynn hit go away. I would expect Rice to be front runner for VP.

Trump loves America so much let me count the ways. It came out today that our intelligence told him months ago Russia was offering bounties to the Taliban to take out American Soldiers and Trump refused to do anything. Still wants Russia in the G-7/8, gave them ventilators. This is traitor like behavior. We all know about the 126,000+ dead Americans and counting and one of the worst COVID 19 countries in the world, the economy, unemployment we could go on and on and on. Keep your sycophant devotion it is now getting humorous it so pathetic.

The qualifying round isnt the playoffs, and those teams that lose in that round should be in the lottery.

I really have no idea why people are so butt hurt the worst seven teams lottery odds didnt shoot up.

- Mentalorgasm5


Totally different this year. There’s been no hockey for months. No momentum. It’s like the beginning of the season. All of those teams have a chance. How many seasons do the Sabres look really good in october/November?

Can Tampa get the pick?

Wouldn't shock me if they get 1st to let them walk straight in and help with their cap if they have to trade one of their better players

Risto and 8 should bring the return we need. But no way Adams trades away his first 1st round pick as a rookie GM.

okay, and only the teams that lose in the qualifying round will have a shot. Its not like a team can advance to the cup and still win. The first teams that drop, in theory are teams 8-15. Same as any other year.

Trade up for Rossi or trade the pick. Too many projects as is currently.

The Blackhawks had 72 points. The sabres had 68 points.

Tank out? They had 4 more points than the sabres, if they lose in the qualifying round, and win the 2nd phase why exactly do you have a problem with that?

We need someone that will put the team before their ego.

I'm done waiting for the next GM to bring in "his" guys

They don't need him there, they will sell out with expensive ticket prices and have TV deals no matter what same with Toronto. If they wanted to place him somewhere it would be in a big US sun market that needs a boost but I doubt it will be a fix.

He missed 13 games this year, I think he was out for awhile before Covid.
