After 6 years of banter back and forth, I couldn't be happier for your new position at hockeybuzz. Well done!

Hopefully the Sabres find a similar replacement for RJ, as hockeybuzz did with mike. Mike was the RJ, and you have continued the tradition of easy, fun and knowledgeable reeding.

Keep em coming ☝️

Jeremy White seems to think the Sabres have some news shortly.

I assume Thinking. like me some 36 but he rivals Hubie for his typing skills.

We aren’t trading Eichel for the main piece of Gibson coming back. Goalies are like RBs in league. You can find one if needed

Ionlightning has posted that Gibson is equal to vaslevsky.

Not in fantasy or reality......

No deal

I'm thinking it would be Granato first with the follow up conversations he reportedly has been having.

Said the other day Thursday or Friday, but could be wrong. Could be about Jack's recovery status and plans in that regard.

It. Is. Happening.

The return for Jack is going to be young players, in the form of players highly likely 21 and under.

This team won't be good, but I contend they won't be Ralph-Bad. They want all of these kids to grow up together. You'll have a core of like 10 18-22 year olds. Few years, it could look great, if they draft a top end talent like Wright.

Granato will probably be named coach, but I'd be surprised that they wouldn't bother talking to Lambert first.

Hopes it more than that
And not jack has agreed to 6 months surgery

I think our forward group would be better then what they had. And they had a good long run of playoffs. So I think it did work, just no cup. Maybe we do with the better forwards

87 - I kinda like the idea of building around the defenseman. We already have a good foundation with dahlin and possibly power.

Probably let's you spend less on goaltending with a solid defense.

Probably keeps you high in the draft order to select some franchise type centers the next 2 years.

👍

What do you know?

Nothing will be as bad as Ralphs version. I am fine watching the kids play for a year.
