A Rd is playing ld

Botts said several times the 6 best d men will play

Not going to go 3 Rd and 3 LD
If they are not the best 6

- homiedclown


We're moving through the preseason now. We should start getting some real looks at roster construction by sunday. Montour played RD last night, but I dont think that means much. If they're keeping Risto, and they actually want to play joker, montour will switch

I still think they go:

Dahlin-Montour
McCabe-Risto (I actually really liked this pair last year)
Scandella-Miller
Nelson

And joker sent down. It's the easiest thing they can do, and they need 4 PKD

Sobotka and CJ as the extra forwards.

If they get more aggressive, I'll be pumped, but I dont expect it

You are all good in my book.

How much further can you stick your head up homies ass?

That's the question.

When risto gets traded, homie will say " they didnt want to trade him, but they couldn't refuse the offer"

Then you will both be right - kind of

I operate under the assumption that when faced with a roster decision, a GM/coach will take the path of least resistance

Skinner-Eichel-Sheary
Mojo-Mitts-Reinhart
Olo-Erod-Vesey
Girgs-Larry-okposo
Cj
Sobotka

Dahlin-Montour
McCabe-Risto
Scandella-Miller
Nelson

Any scenario that has 55,6, and 17 on this roster all that once is gross. It’s just not necessary. They are just bad

Maybe they’ll be there for a good ‘ol fashioned tankin’?

They should have traded him 11 or 23 months ago.
Might have actually gained something for his sorry ass

You'll lose all faith in what?

Sending down the guy that doesn't need waivers over trading a guy and not getting enough back is absolutely, 100 percent, the right thing to do.

All Ralph needs to do is to frequent this place filled with General Managers so that he knows what direction to take with this roster.

Ralph is not a GM.

That’s the streamer I use as well. He’s the best one. All games, perfectly clear. I have 4 games going on in my basement every Sunday.

He will be moved. Just a matter of when.

They didn’t trade for 3 RD to keep the guy who doesn’t want to be here.

When guys like Bob McKenzie and Lebrun tweet that he’s available you know he’s on the way out

With one of the weakest punts in the last 20 years, and actually lucking out, the drought continues as well.



Though, the moron in the video called the Bills Buffalo's only pro sports team... Also called them the "Bears" at one point too. At least he caught the Sabres gaffe and put it in the description.

I'm glad he's on the team, he's an above average Receiver and if Singletary gets hurt, we have someone to fill in, Gore is good at what he does but Yeldon and Singletary bring explosive plays to this offense. Just because he hasn't had to be used yet, means only good things for our depth. Ask the Eagles about depth, when Foles won the SB and when Wentz gets hurt this year.

Just sayin....

I figured he'd be online a lot more these days with the UAW out on strike.

Maybe walking the picket makes it harder to post.

The only thing I may have in common with that guy is a raging sports addiction to the point I have to come on a message board and shoot the breeze with middle aged men.

Nah, keeping the guy that isn’t good over the kid who is more than likely very good is absolutely the wrong thing to do when you’re actually trying to win hockey games
