A bit optimistic on some big things. Grubauer will cost a lot more than a 3rd. No shot at Domi for a 2nd. No shot a Carlson for 5x7.

you want the best of both worlds for this fall

sign kovy to a 1 year 10 mil contract

sign vanek to a 1 year 4 mil contract

sign mike green to a 2 year 16 mil contract

you are overpaying but not married to any of them beyond a year or 2


Kovy-Eichel-Reinhart
Casey-RoR-Okposo
Vanek-ERod-Pommer
Wilson-Larsson-Girgens


Dahlin-Risto
Scandella-Green
McCabe-Bogo

have Nelson and 2 kids up with the big club that has to clear waivers

the ror fans are happy
the risto fans are happy
I'll hang up and listen

stay away from Skinner


did we not learn anything from the tim connolly experiment

- homiedclown


I was gonna say... hasn't Skinner had some issues with concussions? I know that they were 5-6 years ago, but it felt like he couldn't stay on the ice for a bit. He's a great player, but I worry about one more hit that turns him into an Okposo situation.

I could be misremembering though.

that's funny...it's exactly what some media types are alluding to with a player like Ristolainen, all he's known is losing so he's a good trade candidate to help change the culture...
- Michael Pachla



Michael great write up as always.

Could you give me a % on vanek signing with the Sabres in the off season-

I asked earlier if Incognito was still a NUT, apparently he still is, they arrested him today for throwing a barbell at someone at a gym.

Free agent OG Richie Incognito was involved in an altercation at a Florida gym on Wednesday and is being held by police for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation.

It's called the Baker Act, which is an involuntary mental evaluation. Incognito allegedly threw a dumbbell at another man in a Boca Raton gym this morning "for no apparent reason" after first throwing a tennis ball at the gym-goer. Incognito was allegedly "rambling about the government and screaming at the other man to 'get off my f*cking playground'." This is the second time Incognito has been held under the Baker Act, with the first coming in 2014. Incognito is a free agent after being released by the Bills this week. He had planned to continue his caree

If you enjoy craft beer I highly recommend Coppertail Brewing and Angry Chair and Cigar City of course. I was there in March. Tasty stuff coming out of there.

Skip copper tail and cigar city. Angry chair is a must along with garagiste

Generally pretty reasosnable.
Personally,
- I want nothing to do with Poolboy
- Is Domi worth $4,5M??

Skinner's agent and Waddell will be in Buffalo for the combine on Sunday. Skinner and ROR share an agent, so that's neat.

We do need a winger for Eichel but I'm not to thrilled to move ROR to get Skinner.
