I was distracted by the woman holding her iPhone the wrong way. How do people still make that mistake? The mic is on the bottom, people!

Is this some sort of meta joke?

Also, wtf... get a real phone case. Are you 16 and posting pictures with your snapchat ho filters on your own time?

i can't image where this team would be had we not done that..

hindsight 20/20

but if we had boeser, konecny and aho....

That's assuming those picks were made, we could've picked, White, Roslovic and Juulsen.

We'd be in the same (frank)ing place.

I see tons of guys doing it too.

From Friedmans 31 thoughts:

1. Buffalo GM Jason Botterill took heat for not getting a guaranteed first-rounder in exchange for Evander Kane. Word is one other team raised the possibility of a first-round pick for the winger three or four days prior to the deadline, but pulled the offer when something else came up. That left Botterill with San Jose’s Doug Wilson, who can grind with the best of them.

Botterill had a choice: take what he could or lose Kane for nothing. Look at the deals where opening-round selections were included. Tampa gave up two (potentially) for McDonagh and J.T. Miller. Both have term or team control. Vegas gave up one for Tomas Tatar, still with term. Chicago got one for Ryan Hartman, a restricted free agent. (There was a lot of interest in him.)

Pittsburgh gave up one for Brassard, with another year on his contract. Only two UFAs featured such a return — Rick Nash and Paul Stastny. Botterill tried to build a market, but Kane simply wasn’t as highly valued as Nash. As for Stastny, teams generally don’t ask players to waive full no-trade clauses without reason. Winnipeg gave St. Louis one.

12. There was some indication the Sabres could have gotten a better deal if they moved Kane last summer, but I remembered something Botterill said not long after taking the job. He discussed how you have to be careful to not make decisions based on what you heard, as opposed to what you see. One of Buffalo’s recent issues is spending so much on bad fits. Clearly, they made the choice to find out firsthand what they had. There wasn’t a market for Robin Lehner, either. If Botterill’s discovered anything, it’s that this is a much bigger rebuild than he thought.

Yeah, that's what initially drew my attention.

Botterill is Pegulas new Ted Black...

Using iPhones?

Rental goalies never work out. That's why they rarely get traded.

Holding them the wrong way.

Or were you speaking generally?

Roslovic is playing well right now. Made a beautiful set up on a goal last night. (So did Armia)

And the point isn’t we’d be better right now, it’s we would be in a much better position right now, for the future

12:00 a night. So well.

Armia played 9 minutes the other night. Studly.

I guess generally, because I have a Nexus 6P and it has 3 mics.

The point was literally "i can't image where this team would be had we not done that".

That strongly implies currently speaking.

Yes, he’s playing well.

There is literally 0 debate at this point that this franchise wouldn’t be in a better spot for the future without moving all those 2015 picks and other assets.

Especially after the little return we just got for Kane

Not true.......

devils advocate, he's played 300 games. whoever's at fault for the development is up for debate, but at 300 games played, he is what he is.


Look if he was producing 5v5 Id be all for keeping him. Id say the defensive responsibilities are too much for an offensive d-man. but he was getting prime o-zone time with jack eichel and produced little to nothing at even strength.

At least mccabe showed stretches where he could move the needle and produce offense

Daniel Sedin played 315 games before the season in which he was good. And defensemen take longer than forwards. Why is everyone so quick to throw guys away? It's mind bottling, especially if they think we're far away. Risto is not bringing back a good defensive guy. It's a lateral move, and there's no reason to make a lateral move, because it could be a backwards move, you'd have to find a team with a matching, but opposite problem a bunch of defensive guys, but no one who's not afraid to take the puck below the opposing team's goal line.

Yes, he’s playing well.

Using your guidelines, yes, there absolutely is, those guys aren't making impacts on their teams, hell Roy hasn't played a game yet! What a (frank)ing bust!

This part was obvious and unnecessary

RIP

Joel Armia is playing 2:39 less a night this year over last year. That's some studly play.

How many yachts can an owner give a single player per CBA? Pegula should buy Karlsson his own country.

Once he’s locked up just cough up 15% ownership of the Bills to Tavares and we got ourselves a hockey team.

Yes I’m available for employment

Yeah, that's not a thing they can do.

Doesn’t matter. And Roslovic is. So is Konecny, so is Boeser, so is Carlo, so is Aho, so is Fischer, so is Beauvillier, so are a few others.

The 2015 draft is excellent. And it was known to be excellent for a year leading up to it. And we just threw away 3 prime picks.

I mean, I realize how far up the standings O’Reilly and Kane got us over the last few years
