a couple of outliers from last night's amerks/comets game:

our old friend kevin dineen, head coach when the farm club was in portland maine, coaches utica and former sabres prospect justin kea, who played zero games in buffalo, was one of the referees

The Coyotes have quite the trainwreck. I love how their owners come out (after months of the Gila Arena owners publicly calling them out) and said 'ohhh poop yeah we had no idea our bills weren't paid, we'll pay them all tomorrow!'

What a load of poop. That's who they are. A shifty ownership that tries to haggle their bills and waits until the last second to pay them.

I saw Justin Kea got a ref job! That was a gross 3rd round pick the second it was made. The new Paul Gaustad, I guess.

I pulled for that Florentino kid. Thought he'd be a nice dman for the Amerks.

So does Krebs get the call, sooner or later you are gonna have to give these kids a cup of coffee up here, but you can't bring them all up at the same time, might be a good time for one of them.

Sounds like Rask is almost ready, could sign in the near future. Interesting with what 89 brought up and Swayman playing well.

How sour would you feel getting told your traded to the team you walked away from.

Does that fit the narrative of bringing in players who are proud to be here?

The easiest thing to do (not the *right thing) is to send Swayman down, until they can resolve it.

No, and would be a joke to use assets on. Just going of what was brought up.

Good call, he's going to be very good and won't be playing there any time soon.

Who knows how long Rask has left. I think if it's just for the year, they demote him. If it's multiyear, I think they may attempt to trade him if he asks for it. He's proven he should stay in the NHL. Demoting on a matter of simple convenience doesn't really bode well with guys. Yeah, you could demote Cozens and Bryson, but they've shown they belong here.

Well if that happens, I would hope Adams would be all over Swayman.

i can't imagine they would be willing to trade such a good young goalie within the division.. do they have anyone in the pipes when Rask retires?

Yeah. You'd hope. But he's apparently given the bird to using any kind of asset to acquire a player.

I'd give him 1.5 games here before he goes on IR and we call up UPL again to back up Tokarski or Dell.

Good Read! That last paragraph with Mitts tells me a lot about how the last few years have been.
