What a great day so far...USA are champs, Sabres have 2 of the top-five scorers from the tourney, Trump will be leaving DC. In 2 weeks (maybe in handcuffs), and it looks like the Turtle will no longer be calling the shots in the Senate. Halleluiah!
Great day to get a Powerball ticket.

If Florida were to give up bob plus picks/prospects for the kraken to take him I would say the new home for the panthers would be in Quebec. - Camel
Why would that lead them to Quebec? I don’t see Seattle happening, the picks/prospects added would most likely be too much to give away. Bob is signed for this year and five more after. Knight is in his sophomore year in college, while Levi is only a freshman, there’s time before either are ready to be #1 NHL starter. IF Knight leaves school after this season, he probably plays big minutes in the AHL for a year, then Bob’s backup for a year...that leaves three years left on Bob’s deal. The last two years of Bob’s deal are more movable, as the actual dollars owed is much less than the cap hit and his trade protection lessens. If Knight stays in school through his junior year this scenario is even better for FL. Bob’s albatross contract will hurt less if Knight is backing him up on an ELC. Bob fades off into the sunset as Knight is ready to take over the reins in net.
As long as the Bill's can control Indy's running game they should be able to take care of business. Indy has been horrible in pass defense the last 7 games, Allen and Company could have a field day.

Florida has a good problem on there hands in the next few years. 2 good young stud goalies coming up the pipeline.

Great day to get a Powerball ticket. - LandlordTom
Agree with most of that. Not a great day to give dems/socialist full rein. Trumps a bozo and deserves the boot. But at least the guy didnt start any wars.
I see you waving the Polish flag and as a first gen American With plenty of family in Poland I know what socialism/communism does.
People talk about how there oppressed but most have no idea what that even looks like. Most of my family does and informed me how that looks. Hope for the best and think theres a middle ground we can get back too

John-Jason Peterka, RW, Germany (Buffalo)
Germany’s success was largely due to the play of Stuetzle, but his linemate, Peterka, was no slouch either. He’s not as dynamic as Stuetzle, but Peterka showed a high skill level, an ability to make and finish plays, and an ability to play with pace. I thought Peterka, a high second-round pick by Buffalo, had top-six forward potential in the NHL going into the 2020 draft and his performance at the tournament will maintain that projection for me.
Dylan Cozens, C, Canada (Buffalo)
Cozens was dominant and a leading scorer in the tournament in a non-flashy manner. I can’t say any particular play he made will be an all-time highlight. When you have a guy his size who is a high-end skater who works and can make plays, that will lead to a lot of success. Due to his skating and reach, he’s always on pucks, creating turnovers, pushing the pace in transition, and showing enough skill, playmaking and finishing ability to capitalize on the possession he could generate. He has a skill set that will translate well to the higher levels.
Jack Quinn, RW, Canada (Buffalo)
Quinn had a decent number of points, but it was hard to call him a main factor for the Canadian team. When scouts, who were skeptics of the 2020 No. 8 pick, watched him last season, the concern was he looked very skilled in the OHL and he works hard, but if his skating would translate to higher pace environments. At the world juniors, he wasn’t as impactful when the game around him got quicker. He was fantastic in the last three or so months of his OHL season, but there were certainly corners of the hockey world that thought he’d never been a top player before then and those concerns haven’t been alleviated.

And for giggles.
Marco Rossi, C, Austria (Minnesota)
Rossi’s tournament wasn’t memorable. He didn’t score a point between the four round-robin games and pre-tournament game vs. Switzerland, and in Austria’s games he didn’t look like much of a factor in terms of generating entries and chances. The obvious factor to consider is how his team got steam-rolled in puck possession. That’s a very relevant fact, but it’s not impossible to stand out at this tournament without a supporting cast. Nikolaj Ehlers, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Joachim Blichfeld did it for Denmark in previous years. Stuetzle and Peterka did it for Germany this year with half an active roster for most of the tournament. For a player like Rossi, whose main concern in the OHL for his NHL projection was his skating and pace to go along with his size, you would have liked to see him make more of an impact in this higher pace environment.

i believe, at least initially, the centrists will wield much more clout...this weaponizing of the term socialism is annoying (nothing personal)...am of the belief that neo-liberalism has more to do with the plight of working americans and the ridiculously huge gulf between rich/ultra-rich/wealthy/super-wealthy and us common folk than any perceived socialist leanings of the democraic party
