I'm re-watching The Sopranos (now that I completed Deadwood). It's on pause now while I watch the rest of the game.

The Sopranos...my favorite show of all-time. I'm in season 5 now. I finished watching Wiseguy and Spartacus.

Yes. That's what you want your team to be able to do. I miss nights like this. If we don't get Mceichel, Pegula will have to buy one in FA to play along the many good prospects we have and our three firsts this year.

I want us to get that top2 pick as bad as anyone...
Knowing how good that could set us up, I do go into each game with the mindset that we should lose
But when the game is actually on & I'm watching, I can't help but cheer for the blue & gold
I end up being Ok with the outcome either way

As the main pieces of a package for Hall, what would u rather give up?
Myers & Hodgson... Or... Ennis & Pysyk
What if it had to be Myers & Ennis?

I'm also assuming some combo of picks/prospects would also have to be added

- jdfitz77


Hodgson is gonna be a problem. He is a one trick pony that isnt doing much of his one trick these days. And hes under contract for about 5 million a year for 4 years. I wouldnt go so far as to say he has negative value, but hall is a star and hodgson and his salary definitely dont help that deal. If anything like a hall deal was to happen, its probably in the offseason- see what kind of center you get in the draft and maybe grigorenko becomes available.

I get so pissed when this team wins. I know hockey and I know I'm watching a 27th place team overachieve due to their compete. What a joke. Fans that are happy about these Ws are going to be sick when they see how good Eichel and McDavid are.

Even if we really stunk this year Edmonton and Carolina would still be worse.

U can't blame someone for being happy when their team wins, but I hear ya...
I want one of those top guys badly
They could be that extra piece that pushes us over the top

Myers and Ennis better get us one hell of a return. If I had my choice I'd prefer to move Ennis and Pysyk.

There's no way Edm can stay this bad all year
And Carolina will improve a lot when Staal gets back
I'm more worried about the Coyotes. Apparently Smith forgot how to play goalie, and it seems likely they'll trade Doan & Vermette at some point, and possibly Yandle

Truth

He was in front of me this afternoon at the Sabre Store, he ate at 716 with his family upstairs in private room and was buying that sweater this afternoon!

I'm not mad at fans who don't root for them. I just know these wins will haunt us. I also know it's time for Murray to move Stewart and Myers right now. And if anyone will take Hodgson, him too.

Before the season started everyone pegged us for 30th. Carolina and Arizona weren't even in the conversation, not what we thought.

Me too...
But does Edm give up Hall without getting a #1 defenseman back?
And there likely would be a bidding war for Hall, so we aren't getting off cheap
If we wanna try n steal someone from them, I still think Yakupov could thrive with a change of scenery

I hope you're right but I don't see Edmonton doing anything that would improve the team that much. And Staal will help Carolina defensively and give them another line but they'll still not be much better.

This season hurts. At this point I'll cheer the wins.

Stewart & Stafford are improving their trade value day by day
They both have been looking much better
I just hope they're packaged with a pick or prospect so we can get a nice return
We don't need any more 2nd round picks or mid level prospects

The Sabres have so many assets coming to ripeness at this trade deadline and this draft day. Remain calm: all is well.

I can't be angry when they win but I am not upset when they lose.
