Projected lines

9 Evander Kane - 15 Jack Eichel - 29 Jason Pominville
67 Benoit Pouliot - 90 Ryan O'Reilly - 24 Hudson Fasching
20 Scott Wilson - 71 Evan Rodrigues - 21 Kyle Okposo
17 Jordan Nolan - 22 Johan Larsson - 23 Sam Reinhart

6 Marco Scandella - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen
19 Jake McCabe - 47 Zach Bogosian
41 Justin Falk - 93 Victor Antipin
4 Josh Gorges - 28 Zemgus Girgensons

40 Robin Lehner
31 Chad Johnson

Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu did not join the team for practice in Chicago and has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Blackhawks. Beaulieu did not play in Colorado after leaving Saturday's game in Pittsburgh due to an illness. He has not been ruled out for Sunday's game in St. Louis.

With Beaulieu absent, the lineup remained the same as it was in Colorado, with Josh Gorges and Zemgus Girgensons skating as a fourth defensive pair:

I used to sell advertising. Here's the thing about advertising, if you expect your return to be tit for tat, you are a fool. Aggressive marketing is about ubiquity. Quickly name and eye doctor, a shoe store, an outdoor clothing store and an injury attorney. Chances are us Sabres fans fire off the name of the companies that advertise on MSG. When you are exposed to a product, most times the return isn't immediate, but it's about being in the contagiousness of the masses. And 2010 for example did a great job of that for USA and Canada hockey. The other sports you mentioned don't have professional leagues with 20,000 seat stadiums dotting the land and tv contracts.

My .02 cents.


Edit: Those business that didn't advertise or didn't see the value in advertising because they didn't want to cut the check today still exist. They just exist on a different level.

Other thought: NHL should be on ESPN for less money than NBC. Discuss among yourselves.

Antipin needs top 4 time, Drop ROR to 3rd give ERod some time on second or try Erod on top line as RW and have Sam center the 3rd line

It's sad but true. Hope they don't take a dime on a dollar just to move him.

I had no idea his game on the boards was so strong. I always heard he was a bull in front of the net, but he actually can get in and fish pucks out. Looking for that same finish as you said.

- CoHo_to_B-Lo


No. Risto is on a (I believe) very good contract, he's still young, and OEL would be an awesome addition with Risto in the lineup but a swap doesn't help us much.

Maybe he'll start to understand that he needs to put more effort in. His price is still pretty high according to JB.

You guys can have kale burgers and gluten free tofu burritos and talk about how flat the earth is and how people fall off the edge like all the time.

Not really a Trade scenario, more feeling out who you think is better and why. Who would you rather have kind of thing

If he starts getting that finish, he's going to be a very valuable player.

They're pretty comparable, and Risto will ultimately have a better contract. I'd take Risto over OEL. OEL may have better defensive prowess, but the cost you get for Risto, I'd take Risto.

I'll look you up next time I'm down there. Cause this sounds like we'd have a solid day.
