Yes, there was more of finishing him off down to the ice than I remembered. But still wonder how the initial hit put Peterson parallel to the ice.

True, but as shown the last few years rushing up youth has not be working. Im just praying a few moves are made to make the top 6 look respectable

Add: the late start may be a blessing if Cozens can get some games in jrs before we start ( I think he can do that right?)

maybe they thought the modified NTC started this fall instead of next fall

They pulled this poop with Kessel and Zucker last summer. Kessel gave him the (frank)ing bird or something.

Why would the Sabres want a husk? They actually pay attention to analytics now.

Last year it was trade Risto for a number 2 center, now trade him for a 33 year old 5.3 mil RW who scored 33 pts last year and is signed for 5 years.

Thanks for confirming what I said last July...his Value will go down.

It's hard not to notice how often the saying in bold is thrown around, but I wonder how often it actually ends up being true regarding on ice results for the player.

Maybe we can get griffin reinhart and have the all-poopty brothers team

- jcragcrumple


Please add Jordan Staal as well.... And does that leave room for the Strome brothers?

They signed Cal to.. Rochester. They signed Jesper to... Rochester. They traded for Vesey because he was cheap, and is an NHL player.

Marc Staal is a husk. And unless he's signing a deal to play in the AHL and compete for a NHL spot, there is zero reason to want him.

Collect em all I say.

JStaal at 3C, 2M retained would be pretty neato. Won't happen, but it'd be kinda fun.

I hate to tell all the trade Risto sheep but Montour will be the one who will be dealt. Now, go read Risto should have been traded on Twitter and then bring it here sheep.

I am probably on the secret no fly list right now as my wife is recovering from covid


she is now symptom free, 18 days later, but pretty sure my dad would not let me in the house right now even if I could get in the state

Probably. The only way I'd want the not-quite-pooptiest staal would be if I could lose Okposo in the process

You forgot Rodrigues...

But they might bring him in for an extra body to help staal be more comfortable and have more family around

And it wouldn't surprise me if Cozens moved with the staal family

That had nothing to do with Eichel. Fast larry said he had a deal with the Sabres before the draft lottery

A true sign of them learning how to be a good team is if both of them are dealt.
