To be honest this is all kind of wishful thinking. Signing even one of Smith or Daley is unlikely. Dumping Gorges and Bogosian is unlikely

That would probably hinge on Vegas taking Bogo or Moulson from us. If that happens, like you had in the example, I think it's unlikely we don't sign a replacement. Whether it's one of them or Alzner or someone else entirely is a question...but if we can move one of those bad contracts out this year to Vegas we'll be in a much better place for that.

I have never understood the hate for Pegula, not aimed at you specifically. The GM makes the team the coach tells them how to play the owner just pays the bills. Aside from hiring a vp of operations what else do you want them to do?
Serious question.

I hate how long he holds on to losing members of management regarding buffalo sports

I look at what the Islanders did a few years ago picking up Boychuk and Leddy in one off season, for I believe 3 second round picks and a prospect dman.
I see no reason why TM cant pick up two top four guys that are on teams in a cap or expansion draft crunch. Obliviously nothing is guaranteed, but its not like improving the team is completely impossible.

Just spitballing but what about say Ghule and a second for Fowler and move two seconds to Minny for Brodin.
D looks like;
Brodin-Risto
McCabe-Fowler
Gorges-Faulk-Bogo/whoever
Id say that's a decent top six, and theoretically you gave up no roster players to acquire them.

I go to 6 - 8 rays/bolts games a year

buy all my tickets on stub hub

it's cheaper, and I like to keep my money


pretty sure I am an average guy
- homiedclown

I'm just saying I think you are playing up tourists a bit much.

Two games a year for the Magic they have two large Brazilian groups in. About 200 people each game.

But for the most part 97% of their tickets get sold to people in the Orlando area.

Games on stubhub well that's the secondary market but for example the most tickets I saw available on stub hub for a single game are 595.

There are 700 on stubhub for the Sabres game against the Islanders...even more for the Leafs and Canadiens (but that's expected)
