How did you make out with the judge?
- Der Kaiser

mixed


the ticket went from $200 to $30, with $90 court cost


apparently the law is vague and you must move over if you can so because I didn't move over I got dinged a bit


and I have to take the driver class, but I can do it on line and save a lot of money so I saved half the money


and I got to call the female cop that ticketed me a liar

Taking the NY online class right now. It has a timer on each page. I finish the material about :25 seconds before the timer does. It's gonna be a long day.

yeah, but I can go outside and smoke here and there, or mess with you guys in another window while doing it, and it's $27 vs $200


plus I can drink while doing it

Search for a promo code. Got mine knocked down to $19.99.

I'm doing it for the 10% insurance premium discount. That will be about $80 each year for the next 3 years.

Agree - nice player but he'd be much more valuable to other teams than BUF due to RHD/LHD dynamic

Avs cant (and shouldnt) be trading him for a collection of prospects picks, NHL forward.
If they move him, its for another Dman.

Why there is no point ? We need to get a LHD not make another problem

But I will play so if we get a right -handed defenseman if we trade all the assets who's going to be the partner for the first pair and the second pair. Now?

A. we don't know for sure if Risto will be that #1 d man on the right
B. we have sucked for so long, I am out of patience

yandle/risto
bogo/barrie

I nearly cried when I found out that Lake's friend Hooper died in the crash. How could Lake know that even 3 beers on a regular Saturday night could have such terrible consequences. Now he won't be able to go upstate for college with his beautiful girlfriend, Anna.

I don't really want Yandle as a top pairing, I'd rather have a shut down D and am willing to take on an older player there for a couple of years. I'm good with Barrie, but then we would likely need to get rid of one of our RHD...Pysyk?...and more I'm sure. He can play PP minutes so he fills a need. I do not want to lose McCabe...he is going to be a gem in a few years...maybe be that older D's replacement on the top pairing. And your right about Guhle and Nelson...lots of promise there, let Franson go, ship him out for anything. I don't mind Gorges and allowing him to slip down the lineup as he ages.

I do really want the Sabres to trade with Edmonton to get the 4th and land Tkachuck.
Add in Stammer and or Vessey...hmmm not looking too bad

1 of them would have to be in a trade for Barrie, thats the thing. 8th, Ennis, Grigs, Foligno, etc dont do anything for the Avs.

Avs did it once with the EJ trade (Shattenkirk, Strewart, 2nd) for (EJ, 1st, McClement). Use the smaller puck mover to get the Big Dman they wanted.

IF Barrie is moved, I really do think its going to be in a trade similar to that build

Frankly I don't see how we make good trade partners. We both have similar needs IMO

I dont see it either, but it wouldnt be shocking to see them talk. Avs were hot for Bogo before he was traded in the Kane deal.

Barrie, 10th + other crap for Bogo, 8th + other crap would be the deal I see happening if anything. Its more of a trade of getting players you want vs getting players to need to fill the void at the moment

That would be worth considering, very very carefully in my view.

HELL NO

Staal's best days are clearly behind him...
What's he gonna cost?
5mil a year?
For 13-ish goals....
Does anyone thing that would be better than Larsson at 3rd line center?
I don't
And we'd save around 4mil

I think signing Staal would be a horrible idea

Agreed. TM would have to know Barrie's limits and upside, if any, and be real confident he still has some room to grow before pulling that, and I still think that IF Bogo is the Dman we had in the last 3 months of last year then we would miss him pretty bad. He was playing pretty well and with some confidence and I was pleasantly surpised...of course this is after a few months of gross inconsistency.

Running out of patience as a motivating factor in making moves and trades is a recipe for disaster.

Don't know if McCabe, Guhle, Nelson, Martin or anyone else will soon become the puck-mover we crave but going all in on Barrie to the point of overpaying would set us back imo.

If McCabe is moved I will poop a tripod, sideways.

That's all fine and dandy but what happens if you don't get yandle and soupy ? Then you have one big massive hole that you did not fix and you created another one

And risto better be a number 1 we're going to pay him like one this summer

So Bucky Gleason wrote an article in the Buffalo News saying that it is not a good fit or a good idea for the Sabres to sign Stamkos. It's mentioned on Spector's site as well.

He doesn't say that. He says every team needs to be careful about signing a 7 year $10M contract for a guy who hasn't even been the highest scorer on his own team for half of his career.

I don't think it is as much of a no-brainer as you seem to think.
