I have changed my tune on pylon for the last few weeks

3rd like minutes 5 on 5 and pp

It works. On a good team. He would have the same role

Last week people wanted to trade him and mitts. I said no keep him

- Sabretooth9



That's reasonable. First 2.5 years you call him pylon useless pp specialist.

Last week you changed your mind.

Now your on the good team. Welcome aboard.

I like Krebs, i think playing with the captains is gonna really pay off for this kid.

He's gonna get his goals/ points when given the opportunity.

He kinda reminds me of sam. Minus the points and stupid punchable face.

He's gonna be a 3rd liner soon

Temporary Larry.
* kinda has a ring to it.
Like a band name.


Im.going to see the temporary Larry's tonight 🤔

Have the Hawks ever worn the green jerseys on St Patty's day? Or are they just like charity ones?

Accepted.

Hopefully the Harborcenter fax machine is plugged in

- Hank Balling

that is a fair price for seth jones. we will even throw in his brother.


keep bloom and just make it 2 2nds in this draft. plus the rights to portillo

murph is a RHD on a good contract for a 3-4 D man. Not a rental. the term fits his prime years.

imo, the hawks can do better.

I think most are fine with 3rd line minutes and PP time. It was trying to force him onto the top line that everyone had a problem with.

only during warm-ups. so charity jerseys.

speaking of which. the sabres need to burn these uniforms. the only redeeming value is the blue helmet

ftr, jost always looked good to me against the hawks. maybe the avs were trying to sneak him thru waivers. he is a decent 3rd liner

he hates murphy cause he was traded for hjalmarsson.

looks like the fax machine jammed on the first offer before it could be signed off on.

I'm in on the two 2023 seconds (Sabres and Golden Knights) plus Portillo.

Or Flyers 2nd, Bloom and Portillo

also. this place is a much bettter lurk without the one who will not be named around

He was on the 1st line and couldn’t keep up with Eichels pace. He also still sucks in corners

But he is properly slotted aka. He is not Batman. He is not robin. He is the random guy in the background

He is off the 1st and 2nd line and doesn’t play that much.

i want all the picks for this draft. i mean, bloom would be okay but i think just group wants their own players.

truth be told. murph would be a really good fit for the sabres and their young d-corp. he will always give you everything he has that game. he can kill penalties to take some of the hard minutes until Sammy and powers mature a bit into that role.

by all accounts he is a good dude.

Mitts, Goalofsson and Jost are Possesion Mongers. Can’t be traded fast enough.

he sucks. top 3 worst contract in the league. he can race girgenson. the one who stays on their feet the longest wins.

Name a " real " hockey trade that KA's made.

Jost waiver claim counts negatively.

Bill's cant win close games either

Like I said, he's fine at like 10-13 minutes. The Sabres aren't good when he plays 18

I love the idea. Tricky part is the M-NTC and the Sabres' poopty reputation. But he is a USNTDP kid and Granato is a former coach. I'd love to see it
