See they got Kadri out, just someone cheap shot him instead.

Not sure of Kane's suspension history, which will come into play as a factor by DPS in metting out the punishment, but boy would I like to see the term of suspensions be equal to the length a player is injured as a result.

As far as Goalie goes,

Trade a prospect for Talbot, $3.67, 1 year
Sign Campbell for $5.0 - $5.5, 3 years

Let UPL play in Roch for '22 -'23 season.
Trade Talbot at TDL, call up UPL

'23 - '24 & '24 - 25' seasons
Campbell, UPL
Levi in Roch, Portillo too if he signs. (Let the best of the 2 graduate)

Sounds good, doubt all of it happens. Talbot wouldn't surprise me, but that's about it.

Again, you're not a Sabres fan. You get mad when the Sabres win games. That's the opposite of a Sabres fan.

Is it ok for the Sabres to win games next year, or does that mess up the loser chances for a new 17 year old boy for you to drool over?

When, exactly, is it ok for the team you talk about (not "are a fan of" but "talk about") to win games? And, why then?

BTW, did Toronto make a mistake having these good regular seasons when they obviously haven't tanked enough to play 2 weeks past the Sabres in any given season the last 12 years? They could have been gunning for that 1st pick. What morons trying to win a cup. What they hell are they thinking?

It just sucks we don't have Sam Darnold at QB in Buffalo. Now that was a guy worth tanking for. Josh Allen is such a poor man's 1st round pick.

Name me a team the past 10 years that won a cup without a top 5 pick on their roster that they themselves had drafted.

Colorado is 5 wins away from a parade and we are still talking about the merits of tanking 😂😂😂.

how many teams do not have a top 5 pick on their roster right now?

boston
flyers
wild
blues
preds
jets
vegas
sharks

of those, flyers traded away one, as did the blues after they won their cup
jets traded laine
bruins traded seguin
preds traded jones

since ovi and malkin were drafted the only teams not to have a top 5 pick was the sharks and vegas

Dallas has nothing left if they move him
Which I doubt they would

Said this before
I might trade 16 for NHL player
But next two years with 3 first this year next year 1 first 4 seconds load up with the kids. This could be the last time in awhile you have that many chances to hit

You think theres any other nhl teams interested in craig Anderson?

More so a familiar city like Ottawa or a place that feels like home?

Buffalo has that family, retire and live feel. But maybe didn't make the 1 year impression , with his family already not committed to moving here last season I understand.

yeah the trade does not make sense for either team right now

I mean what would pick 16 get?

Theodore?
Scheifele?
William Nylander?


I would rather use a much later pick to try to get a Zacha or Crouse

Vinnie returning takes a spot from a young guy.
Maybe they foresee 1 more year of mentorship from him and Anderson before saying goodbye to
Girgs
Vinnie
Okposo
Anderson
for the '23 - '24 season.

I dont agree with it, but seems like the writing is on the wall.

Boone won't comment on Andujar trade request, says conversation was 'really difficult'

So Hicks and Gallo stay in and we may lose him?
