It's JOG line time. He's a nice defensive complement for those two if they want a shutdown line.

Last year wasn’t Wedgwood considered no better than an AHL goalie? Could have signed him for min wage now actually there is thought of trading for him.
If me or Mr. Rsh would suggest this the name calling would follow instantly.

I kinda, sort of get the sentiment of sending a message to the team that management believes in them.

Kind of.

Who are they sending that message to? Hinny, Drake, Bjork, Eakin, Butcher, Haag, Hayden, Pysyk, Routs, Wolainen? No, not at all.

Thompson, Dahlin, Joker, Cozens, Mitts, Asplund, Bryson, Olo, Skins,? I guess. Although, they all need to b.v e focused on improving their own game and taking it to the next level. THAT must be their entire focus. Worrying about finishing 22 instead of 28th is pure fools gold.
The Don can handle those guys well enough.

I, like several others have watched this team for 50 years, including the last 10 garbage years. Finally, there it s a bright light ahead and it ain't a train. Get a top 5 pick and select a real 1C prospect. Profit.

My 20-year-old son is now a diehard Sabres fan, watches every game (we're in Ontario, so he could be a Leafs fan). He's totally fine with what's happening this year (other than when Dell is net). He believes in two years this will be one of the most exciting teams in the league. I've been a fan since 1974, and I am not sure why I feel so impatient this year. We had a 1C, but the losing took its toll.

Jankowski shut Eichel down in the Frozen 4 Championship. It was the moment I knew Eichel would never be a PTPer. Total fraud.

No offense, but going on a Sabres forum and stating that hasek wouldn't be good in today's game or be able to stop a beach ball puts you in a category with the outliers...

You'll get used to posters not liking you, I'm speaking from experience. ☝️

He doesn’t have what it takes either. Bamboozle some GM into thinking he is good while you still can.

Hey I hear you. There are tons of statements I dislike on this forum but I only take it as someone’s opinion. That’s it my opinions are just the same. Mine.

How does that make sense? Hayden got a penalty shot because he got slashed on a semi breakaway

his tallness has one of the, if not the, best shots on the team...he also stickhandles extremely well and can cover a lot of ice...the big issue with him centers around malfunctions in his noggin'...

I say his ceiling is Drew Stafford as a winger or Luke Adam as a Center. Never make a difference is his floor. What he is doing now is smoke and mirrors.

The Montreal Canadiens announced some hockey management changes on Sunday, including the firing of GM Marc Bergevin.
Montreal also relieved assistant GM Trevor Timmins and Paul Wilson, who served as senior vice president of public affairs and communications, of their duties. Jeff Gorton in the team's new Executive Vice President, Hockey Operations. The search for a new GM is underway.

"run and stop the run"

The Eagles had 208 rushing yards, allowed 70, and they had 7 whole points. And somehow STILL lost the time of possession battle.

Hmm. I am glad you brought this up so Pegulaville can come say something wildly untrue as a rebuttal.
