Retaining money should be a no-brainer. Rich owner, lots of space.

Only thing different about the 2 is Jani can bring the Hammer. Basically making a lateral move and saving them a Million if we retain.

If they're truly looking to get out from and improve on Lyubushkin, it shows they can recognize when they make a mistake, and they're not afraid to address it quickly.

Still wouldn't take care of the D decision, would still have to make another move.

Where does Levi fit..

Levi stays in school for 1 more year.


That is my guess

Well if UPL keeps playing the way he is, I wouldn't be surprised if one those goalie's becomes available. Might bring back something useful.

I have to imagine there is no end of teams that would want a piece of Levi. Especially if they're in a new rebuild and have no goalie answer, he could be a cornerstone goalie for somebody. His value is still very high I think. NHL goaltending is so hard to find.

Problem with goalies, There are no sure things.

No guarantee Levi or Portello are NHL goalies.

ULP was the best goalie prospect coming into the nhl when he turned pro. Had a monster junior season and world juniors

And now look at where he is

Still remember the iconic Mj dunk contest with Dominique Wilkins and that made me want to be a basketball player despite being 5-10 and white. And there was that guy who pumped his Reeboks before going for his dunk. So cool.

Seriously I try telling these dudes who worship Lebron that dude wouldn’t even be a top-10 player if he played in the 80’s/90’s.

Totally different game.

Now when a non-star scores 71 points, they find every which way to discredit it and drug test him.

He was 1 step beyond where he was supposed to be, and the NBA says “shouldn’t have happened” yet Lebron James travels every time he charges the basket and no one bats an eye.

They actually used to call traveling and goaltending in the 90’s. They got elbows to the face and nuts every time they tried a dunk or layup.

It’s not a fun game to watch anymore.

Have you been watching the games?

Serious question, because you post some things from time to time that makes it seem like you're not watching.

Yes I have been. I have missed maybe 1-2 games.

Clauge plays 15 minutes a night. That is not much

Bryson
Clauge
Lybsunjin

They all play around the same amount of minutes.

Which isn’t good when Dahlin Sam and power log 25-30

Joker is at 20 minutes per

How many minutes are you expecting a 3rd pair player to play?

More importantly, you think all three of Clague, Bryson and Lyubushkin are performing the same?

The Sabres need another top 4 d. To help carry the load. Dahlin power and Sam can’t keep playing the minutes they are playing

Jokiharju is a top 4 player to them when he returns.

Again I ask: Do you think all of Clague, Bryson and Lyubushkin are performing the same?

I don't know but whenever Clague has had to step up, even playing with Power he has done his job. Him and Joker would make a decent 3rd pair

If they make an in season move for the above to happen, it likely means Lyubushkin is the 7th D and you're waiving Bryson and Fitzgerald.

I don't see them doing that.

More likely that they believe Jokiharju is a top 4 D.

UPL gets the start. Is it me or are they moving away from Anderson a bit. UPL has been good, but Anderson hardly ever plays.
