As long as the Bills roll over for the Broncos week 3 that's all I care about

Depending on the QB in Denver, that might be easier said than done.

One of my buddies has a huge pig roast tailgate for that game. It's sort of like the lottery - which one of us is going to wind up hopelessly overserved and unconscious.

This is the point in the summer where I feel like I can't win. I love the warm weather, but I'm getting anxious for fall because it means hockey and football. And I hate that. Because I don't want the warm weather to end.

Who's a better fit for us, Jagr or Vanek?

Is Markov worth 2/$10m for us at 38 years old?

I know there's 30 teams in play for him (Counting COL as out), but, Butcher would make a lot of sense for BUF and Housley would make a lot of sense for Butcher......

I love it too. But I DON'T love what comes after it. Summer and Autumn are for sure my two favorite of the seasons.

Broncos went 9-7 in a rebuilding year and if Siemian wasn't playing with one arm the 2nd half of of the season we make the playoffs again. Bills will have to play their best ball to beat us.

He would have to be ok with going to Rochester because I Doubt they would give him a spot over scandella, beaulieu, mccabe, or gorges. unless he plays RHD he would still have to take a spot from risto( obv not), bogo, antipin which is doubtful

i think he would have to be ok with going to the AHL almost no matter who he signs with.. i can't see anyone saying "you are guaranteed an NHL roster spot" to him

Only chance he has of playing here is to be the 7th defenseman.

Risto, Scan, Bowl, Ant, Bogo, Cabe are your top 6. Gorges is your 7. If you want him that bad, you tell him he needs to prove his worth in camp and then maybe you can trade Gorges for a late rounder just to free up a spot, if he earns it. Or if he's ok with joining the A, same thing, let him try, if he can't beat out Gorges, more d depth for us, and we can send one of the Amerks D to Cincy.

Free agents are fun and all, but the Garth hype train is out of control as usual. Seems like a more reliable Casey Nelson. Which is fine. But he needs refinement.

Whos spot is he taking?

Scandella-no
Mccabe-no
Bealieu-no (at least not this year)
Guhle-no

there is no room for him this year or beyond. He wont jump ahead of Guhle or any of those guys. if hes smart and does his research he will recognize this

I don't know what GMs see in the kid. But if they see potential top 6 dman, you do what you can to sign him, then make a trade if necessary. The prospect depth of dmen on this team is atrocious.
