I'm probably going to skip watching alot of games and just watch the CHL .

I told everyone in the summer time it was going to be a headache hopefully everyone has a back up plan

Why?

It's not like they have a whole lineup of Matt D'Agostini's.

We all know what is coming, or we think is coming. Hopefully these kids grow through the rough patches and come together as a hockey team.

Also, in the NHL terms, the Sabres didn't win last year. They stayed the same.

Yeah I was watching clips earlier of Dahlin. He barely ever was allowed to carry the puck even to the tops of the circles under Ralph's watch, huh?

Hopefully it's not too late to correct that and let him roam with his offensive instincts again.

- BINGO!


Rasmus Dahlin is so disrespectful to his teammates #Sabres #NHL https://t.co/u9VYfdwaBE

Haven't the rules on this changed? Since the lottery picks are only the top two now no team can pick in the lottery two years in a row I thought.

NHL DRAFT
NHL Draft Lottery changes announced for 2021
Drawings reduced to two; limits added in 2022 for teams that win, move up

The 2021 NHL Draft Lottery will be reduced from three drawings to two as part of changes announced Tuesday.

The changes, approved by the NHL Board of Governors, will determine the order of the NHL Draft for the teams that do not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Two other changes will begin with the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery:

-- Teams will be restricted from moving up more than 10 spots if it wins one of the lottery draws.

-- Teams cannot win the lottery more than twice in a five-year period. Wins in the lottery prior to 2022 will not be counted toward this total.

I took tennis lessons one summer when I was a kid with a guy who totally changed my swing into this big looping stroke. Changed basically everything about my timing and hitting. At the end of the summer, someone pointed out to me that it not only looked ridiculous, it was comically ineffective. I changed back and was totally fine.

I guess what I'm saying is that his time under Krueger was comically ineffective and a waste of time but it should be reversible
