Hopefully Hines can teach Cook a few things. Cook is slowly looking like a weapon

I think by "picks" he means "premium picks".

What's a "premium" pick? You're delusional if you think you're getting those guys with 4th round picks, and he doesn't strike me as delusional

He's already 25. What makes you think he's going to gain 20 pounds? I mean, he has the frame for it, but if he's not already there I guess what makes you think he'll put it on.

Tons of guys put on size later in their careers.

Yup, It takes some of these young guys awhile...others not abso much.
Too bad hissn 1st touch resulted in a fumble, he lost the confidence of coaches. At the same time, maybe it taught him early on about how critical ball security is.

He isn't delusional. He didn't think it was worth it to pay a first or a second for any of the players that went this week.

Yeah, he scored 2 goals and an assist at the end of the Hawks game and then 6 points in last night's game.

Exactly, we have a really good team, and we could be for awhile. We needed those 2nd through 4th rnd picks to replenish the pipeline.

I am always in favor of this, and this is why you should build through the draft. Once you start chasing it you lose the advantage of the cheap labor on rookie contracts.

His time of ice was interesting the past two games, with 14 minutes against Chicago and 17 minutes against Detroit.

Pens Bruins on ESPN. Both jerseys are a joke with the corporate logos prominent on the front of the jerseys.

The Penguins especially ought to be ashamed. they're basically the Pittsburgh Highmarks.

It's coming for us as well.

The Sabres have hired the Jerry Jones group to find a sponsor

It'll probably be Highmark BC/BS here as well. Maybe M&T

Barry Bonds was going to be the best baseball player without the roids. Went to 3 rivers in 91 and saw him crush 2 homers. That was a heat seeking missile that he threw to home on the Bream play in the NLCS.

Lol! Now thinking your comment was satire.

Yeah if things go right the Sabres should be able to roll 4 lines of Speed and forecheck and scoring at you.
