Dang...

Buffalo takes 4 pts over the weekend and suddenly our chances of winning the draft go from 20% to 9.5%.

I really could careless if WPG, CLB, or even Calgary win the lottery... I just DON'T WANT EDM OR TOR!!!!

ef the Sens!

Cal Petersen has looked very solid in net for ND, .932 save%, 18-5-2 record with 2.06 GAA, on a very young Irish squad. ND was not ranked to start the season but they are now ranked 7th nationally and are leading Hockey East by 1 point over BC with each team having 4 games left. also Connor Hurley has also started figuring things out it seems. He has already surpassed his goal and point total from his freshman year and is a +10. Hurley is 6'2'' 190lbs, he still has some filling out to do but I still think he has a chance to become a NHL 3rd liner. There is my ND update if any were interesrted

- doppelthat



They showed their games on NBCsports this past Friday & Saturday against Maine

I never liked that pick, but Hurley has looked good lately
He's still got time left at ND, and then to the AHL for him
Maybe he develops into a guy we can bring up if we eventually have to move on from Larsson, Ennis, etc
Or maybe we just package him in a trade?
Regardless...
Nice to see him finally trending in the right direction

From here on out, I'd like to see the Sabres...

1) trade McGinn, Legwand, Weber, C.Johnson, Franson & Moulson (if possible) for whatever picks we can get
* more ammo for trades

2) draft in the top5, preferably top3
* I'm looking for a forward here, but if Chychrun is there at 5 I'm very ok with him being the guy we take

3) trade Fasching + (picks, or prospects like Karabacek, Carrier, or even both) for a good young defenseman (Fowler, Trouba, etc)
* even if we get Chychrun
* yeah, I'd rather trade Fasching than Girgensons or Ennis

4) sign Stamkos
* I'm not too worried about the cap, I think we can make it work just fine

5) make the playoffs next year, maybe pull an upset or 2?
* with added scoring, defense & Lehner continuing to play well, I think we def make it


All of that seems at least "fairly" plausible IMO

How I see it. It is concerning to me that Kane did this and he has a checkered past.

I don't see his first offense as something we should oust him for, but he needs to prove that this will not be a re-occurring issue and that his past does not repeat.

I know we cant compare it to "everyday" life but the way i see it is.

Say you had a mandatory prep meeting to discuss a plan to sell an investment. Your biggest competitor was also going to be there giving the same pitch.

You call your boss the night before stating "I'm too drunk to make it tomorrow"

I doubt you walk in the next day without issue.

Hahahaha...
I see what u did there

It's really ONE trade

The guys getting dumped for picks at the deadline happens all the time
Those are easy-ish trades (except Moulson, which would be VERY doubtful)
Not saying it ALL happens,
But do u see anything I listed as being outlandish?

Couldn' t resist.

I would trade Moulson and hold 500K and a 6th for a 7th round pick.

Whelp, he f'ed up, he's recognized it, taken his medicine, and apologized for it. He said it's not going to happen again.

I believe him, but he's purchased it on credit.

In other words, sure no problem but it f'ing really better not happen again.

U win that round good sir

I just don't know who would actually "want" Moulson after this year
You'd have to be pretty desperate

And does he have an NTC?

He's just immature. 24 year-olds need a minimum of 8 incidents before they learn their lesson.

Pretty much. Company policy is there for a reason. Wasn't the issue of going to the allstar game , It was not making it back in time. Don't think it will happen again. imo
