I agree that with him being on the team he is would make it difficult to deal with. Although I like him as well. Another goal scoring winger on the team would be great.

He's fast he scores. Get him out of a big media market and I doubt he's that big of a pain.

Just my thoughts

YES! feel the power of the daaaaaaaark Siiiiiiiiiide!

That Salton Sea album is awesome. That place has a crazy history. I've read (red) about it, but I've never gone there.

Seedy, holy poop.
You shot all of those photos?
Really nice work !!
I especially love the one with the womans shoes on the mattress.
I really appreciate those images, and your eye.
Thank you so much for sharing those with me.
A lot of those photos spoke to me.
I have a friend that is a professional photographer that shares her photos with me that I write my poetry and song lyrics to.
I will be published very soon in book form, and I can't wait.
Since my Pops last March I really dug in deep with my writing.
I mean, I always wrote , but not like I do now, not as piercing or descriptive.
I always appreciate the work of another artist.
Once again, thank you.
Anytime you feel like sharing, i'm all eyes!

Cool man. Thank you. Always nice to get encouragement from someone who I don't really know. Its one of those things I enjoy doing, but dont want to make my job, if that makes any sense.

So I was thinking about the Kessel talk earlier what would it take to get him and would we want him.

My guess it would be something like Ennis, Compher, Grigorenko a 2015 first (not ours) and a conditional 2016 second (would become a 1st if the Sabres made the playoffs for Kessel and they would make us take Clarkson...what say the masses?
- Stripes77

That is too much for me to want to pay for him but I'm not a big fan. I like his ability but he isn't at the top of the list of players I would want the Sabres to go after. His age, 27 now, might be a tad bit out of the rebuild realm too.

I simply adore each season and absorb each one for their unique characteristics and undeniable beauty.

Aids in my writing for certain.

I'm not that guy that complains about the weather.

I'd rather breathe it in and make the most of it.

There are loved ones no longer here that I am sure would love to be breathing in that icy winter air.

Marv Levy just published 246 page book of poems. I know who you really are.

He's fast he scores. Get him out of a big media market and I doubt he's that big of a pain.

- Stripes77

I don't think he is a pain at all. Maybe just a little awkward.

I guess I was just agreeing with 89 that I would not want to help the Leafs at all in a trade. Although I like his idea about giving them Hodgson. lol

Thanks man! I've been out there 8 or 10 times since i've moved here. It's always changing and never disappoints. I'm actually behind on processing photos. I have easily 8 or 10 road trips I haven't posted yet. You know, if you're an IT guy, you should DEFINITELY test the waters in the bay area. People with your skill set are making bank out here right now!

Luke Richardson, i'll pass.

I have my pros and cons about it too but I think I am in the ballpark on what it would take to get him. Just thinking of a Kessel McEichel Kane line has be drooling a bit. That's one fast powerful scoring line

I'm sorry I like Kessel but i'm not helping the Leafs in there rebuild or what ever the hell they are doing.

I totally understand!
Writing is not "my job" but I still do it everyday.
Doesn't hurt that women love it.
Yep, I am married, doesn't make me a bad guy.
I still come home to my wife every night.
But you have an excellent eye there seedy, for certain!
I'd share some of good friends photos but I do not want to betray her trust.

Thanks Hat. I appreciate it. Here's one of many salton sea albums...
https://www.flickr.com/ph...y/sets/72157629107926868/

And all of my albums. Kind of a mix of stuff. I spend most of my free time driving around taking photos. I have a very forgiving wife!

Nice collection Seedy. Some great shots. That salton sea , is that the town that was under water for years ?

Out of my control, I could care less but to blame Nolan is foolish. Everybody knew the deal coming into this season, but now Murray is pissed we are last and the team is playing bad but he wants the top 1 pr 2 pick. He sounds like most on this blog.

I'll have to make sure that my peepers make contact with those one day.

It's soooo expensive to live there. It's kind of intimidating to be honest.

Clarkson would be a cap dump for them. My guess is they will try to move him and make a team that wants Kessel take him anyway.
- Stripes77

I hope we never see one of those contracts again. They mostly backfire.

Here is one I heard and I almost fell out of my chair, Kessel and Franson for Brodie and Glencross.

I guess I'd like to see who they draft and have in the system before they deal more prospects for him but that could be a nickname line.

I just heard part of that interview on TV and thought WTF??? He blamed Nolan and the players but he's the one who put this crap team together and forgot to take 1/3 of the blame himself.

Nice collection Seedy. Some great shots. That salton sea , is that the town that was under water for years ?
- cabin

Not under water....just supposed to be "the new Vegas" or may be Riviera?....kind of?
it was created by an overflow of the Colorado river and became a resort area. But no one banked on the fact that it wouldn't last for ever, Which is kind of short sighted. Now that it's no longer being fed by the Colorado, it's drying up....and causing serious dust issues. Its a very very unique area. Buth in people and subject matter to photograph.

Murray "trusts Chevy".
8:55 in.

Great way to GM is to trust other GM's that are trying to rape you.

Murray is an imbecile.

I can't even stand listening to this idiot any longer.

edit: I just found my new sig (location)

Maybe we've moved on from this by the time I post this, but I just wanted to comment because I think the context of this quote is very important and maybe some people haven't listened.

That statement was specifically in response to a question about how Kane's injury was assessed in making the deal. He said the Sabres' training staff spoke to the Jets' training staff about the particulars, and he said that he personally asked Chevy how the surgery went and how the recovery was going. He said he trusted Chevy's statement that the surgery went well and Kane's recovery is going well.

I don't think Murray was saying anything more than that, and I think everything he said in response to the question was perfectly reasonable and understandable, in that particular context.

Do you really think he is pissed? I don't.

Meh. Everyone knows it going to happen at some point. Just is a matter of time before Nolan was replaced. Whether it is this year or next year it is going to happen either way.

It's a joke to blame Nolan, Murray said the last draft and this draft were the most important part of the rebuild. But he wants to win but still pick 1st or 2nd ? I like Murray but to blame Nolan makes no sense to me.
