I hope good Allen shows up. But I don’t have my hopes up.

5 good games
4 bad ones

Almost an even split

He has not had 4 bad games.

Crazy thought I know, but gained after reading about Brent Seabrook's experiences over the past 11 months in which he had surgeries to repair his; 1) shoulder, 2) right hip, 3) left hip and had to deal with his father suffering through an extraordinary health condition for several months.
He now says he feels the best he has in 10 years...and has 6 previous seasons ov playing an average of 80 games before he had those surgeries after 32 games last season.

Could he be Dahlin's partner? He has 4 years remaining at an untenable $6.875m...so, Stan would need to retain some Cap or at least take a bad contract back....
Too bad that his contract has 4 instead of only 2 years left

With four years left I'm saying no, even straight up for Okposo. 1200 career games. He done

Why don't you have your hopes up?

Also, do you really hope Allen plays well?

It sure seems like you can't wait for him to play badly so you can let us all know he did.

Are you a Bills fan?

My best advice is to never believe a 35 year old player when they say something like the bold above.

I think sooner than later they are gonna have to see what they have in all these D prospect they have. They are gonna need players coming in on there ELC's, and are D prospects could help with that.

It would seem to be almost too logical that they move one of their RHD and have Borgen play on the bottom pairing.

A bit of a cause for optimism today: the Cardinals' record is a bit soft.

Record of teans they have beaten (omitting the games vs. Cardinals):

14 - 24


Record of teans they have lost to (omitting the games vs. Cardinals):

8 - 14

There have been rumors of Miller or Montour going out West. There are teams starting to recall player's from there overseas commitments. Could start seeing some movement again trade wise soon. If the 7 teams that didn't make the play in round start there camps a week ahead of everyone else, teams are gonna have to start becoming cap compliant

Bills:

24-25 for teams they have beaten (14 loses are owned by the Jets)

12-4 for teams that have beaten the Bills

The issue is they waited so long to address the problem they themselves created with the logjam at defense under Botterill that they're unlikely to get much of value in return due to the current situation in the league with the cap and the pandemic.

You should tell Robitalle and Andreychuck where you ordered it from.

Not a single trade since October 12th. I think everyone just took a 5.

Tampa still has done nothing to address their cap issues. Maybe everybody’s waiting to see if they can poach someone good from TB, before pulling the trigger on another option.

Will be very interesting to see what they do, I think they are in trouble.

There are a handful of teams that still need to clear cap.

Laine and Winnipeg are heading towards a divorce.

Calgary’s GM has stated multiple times this is not the lineup he’s going into next year with.

I think they are waiting for dominos to fall in the trade market forsure before the remaining UFA’s find homes

Probably, but man he could serve as an on ice coach for Dahlin from one of the game's best

Right?!
Yet, even then they still don't have Dahlin's partner...unless Joker can take a huge step up.
They really need to move 2 RHD's and I'd prefer to keep Miller myself (Joker too of course).

The away team gets the broadcasting rights. For example the bills at cardinals we are getting CBS.

Last week, we were on Fox due to the Seahawks being the away team

That's the traditional rule. However, now the networks are allowed to trade games.
