When you talk about the city with its people like you did above, virtually every city has the same. If you want to talk trash about the franchise, I agree with you basing on its performance the last few years.

I was posting ironically. I love Buffalo... moving back next summer, actually.

That's fine, but you are here talking up the guys you want to trade to us. Everyone does it.

The toronto board yesterday was talking up Risto for us. Nobody go in there, lets see if they manifest destiny some absolute nonsense.

We are due for one of these epic fleeces

"classlessness was exacerbated by a "blindsided" firing over Skype."


That's rough as hell

This apparently is the story

Yes it’s a great story.

So summer 2013 after Krueger’s season they Lowe decides its time to fire Steve Tambelini for his inactivity and the team’s lack of progress between 2010-13. Former Oilers coach MacT is hired without any interviews of course. Ralph approaches MacT and asks him to add an associate coach as he only had 2 assistants. Dallas Eakins applies for the associate coach job and blows MacT away to the extent he Skypes Ralph whom was at his home in Switzerland and fires him giving Eakins the head coaching job he wasn’t even applying for.

Would love to know what real offers look like for him. He's just the type that someone will overpay for.

Vanek on the Instigators: "Believe it or not, Lindy is at the top of the list of my favorite coaches. As much as he was hard on me or whatever, he brought the best out in me and i respected that." (peters and rivet laugh heartily)

Vanek is trying his best to get signed here for the 4th time

I’m ready

I dunno, we are years removed from chiarelli offering taylor hall. The talk about him has gone quiet too, makes me think they're leaning towards keeping him.

Slow time. It will kick up when we get closer to the draft.

Botts asking coaches about Risto isn't encouraging either, but hopefully you're right.

I am not talking anyone up. The Eichel trade was a troll post.

Botterill mentioned Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Mitts, Brycen Martin, Will Borgen, Jeff Skinner and someone else, but never mentioned Risto. He also said he would do a trade even if a couple d men are hurt if it means it would help in the second half of the year. Risto is g-o-n-e imo.

That is bizarre. I usually don't read into the GM talk though, mostly the rumour guys. If it picks up steam with Friedman again I'll buy into it.

Who knows if it's really true. The idea that JB is looking for someone who dismisses his advanced stats doesn't ring true with me. If that really was a question, it might have the exact opposite purpose.

I think it was a way of getting Risto’s name out there without having to call other GM’s and making it seem like their selling him off

Same source that said Jurgen Klopp got fired from the US Mens Soccer team and Vladdy Jr would be playing for the Bisons all year. Ouch.

Maybe. It's extremely easy to manipulate these reporters, they'll tweet anything.

I'm surprised you have time to read all my takes. I figured you'd be busy writing some pornographic GoT fan fiction starring Sir Timothy Murray
