I can't tell if the Bills look good, or the Giants just look awful.

Both?

I don't think it was necessarily a bad move but how did it get you into a conversation you would not have been in anyway on August 16? If anything the failure to land him when you had the only shot just reinforces the idea that Buffalo is not a preferred destination
- Canada Cup

We accept the fact we have not been a preferred destination in the past . This city is making a massive comeback. You should check out downtown at the waterfront on a nice summer day . It is impressive. Tim Murray is trying to make us a hockey destination as well . Especially now that we have the new Harbor Center next to the Key Bank Center. It is well on its way to becoming a hockey destination.

From 2000-2013 here are the most notable 3rd rd picks.

Tomas Plekanec
Frans Nielsen
Valtteri Filppula
Alex Edler
Johan Franzen
Kris Letang
Jonathan Quick
Ben Bishop
Brad Marchand
Adam Henrique
Shayne Gostisbehere


So out of approximately 377 3rd picks there are 11 notable players that made a mark in their NHL careers. If my math is right that's less than 3%. I don't see the big deal with what Murray did.

Cheers dumb dumbs.

I'm fine with the 3rd going to talk to him. But eventually we gotta start landing some of these guys we are rumored to talk to

"Rumored to talk to"? You can't even give Murray credit for actually pitching them?

Does this give you an indication how wet your blanket is?

You're wasting your time. We went over this yesterday to no avail.

"Dumb dumb." That was my mothers nickname for me when I was a little boy.

The trolls don't want to hear it, also that we had 4 picks. It's like constantly talking to a wall.

Rumored to be in on, we're in on, whatever. Result was the same.

It's not solely a Murray issue. It's a Buffalo sports issue.

But its such a fresh, well informed take.

LEHNER: 53 games, wins 28; 2.38 GAA; 9.20 SV%; 1 game misconduct for leaving the crease to get after Chris Neal

Go ahead and bookmark it.

3. beckam
4. hopkins
5. gurley
6. gronk
7. green
8. johnson
9. robinson
10. bell

thats my top 10 draft board for ppr

bell was outside, now it's dropped to 3 games, I put him 10 over the cowby rb and dez
- homiedclown

This will sound cocky...
But I make the playoffs every year
So I'm drafting for that
First 3 weeks don't matter so much to me
It's PPR,
So if I have to plug in Woodhead or RidRichard, etc then I'll be just fine for a few weeks

I'll draft Brady & Gordon too if ppl leave them on the board too long

Gronk.

Book the parade.

Boom.
- Wetbandit1

My ideal top 2 rounds get me Bell & Gronk

purely hypothetical as the info i got is nowhere near 89 level of quality but would you go all in for Johnny Hockey (trade and contract)?

No, because "all-in" would mean Eichel. Anything short of that, and probably yes.

Okposo.......... bum, stinks, good player............ confirm or deny ?

Stinks, for sure. So long as we're talking like the Skunk stinks.

not Eichel, he who stinks would probably be the ask but i wonder if you could negotiate that down depending on the situation.

Edit: *scrolls one post up* wow the timing on this post could not have been better

I was just checking, thanks. For a minute I thought we got a good player

Can we offer sheet Johnny hockey ?

No i read somewhere he doesn't meet the criteria to be offer sheet eligible

you have to play a certain number of pro games before you are offer sheet eligible.
