Which are not things that would actually be offered. Homie's was a bit more plausible, but that's a quick no from me
- jcragcrumple


It's doubtful. 99.9% no one would offer anything remotely acceptable.

You are right. I just don't auto-hang up in case the .1% comes in.

This is splitting the point, anyway

Homie was talking about this while calling Eichel "clank"

I don't believe he was suggesting we trade him for a .1% scenario. I say plenty of dumb poop too, so I'm not throwing frozen dumb poop in a glass house

Come a little further west, the wings get worse by the mile.

I never said bust but he is no Barkov, Eichel, or Laine. I think we can agree on that. Pominville has also produced on that top line and I think reinhart is the better player of the two and could bring more to the second line so that was my reasoning for that.

He's also no Ryan Murray or Andrei Zyuzin.

the problem is, you get far enough away, people except expats dont know buffalo food is good or why. There's a place in LA called "top round" its the closest thing you can get to beef on weck in California. People sh!t all over it on yelp for having "no flavor" that done even realize its a regional dish. They also dont understand the horseradish. People literally say you're better off going to Arby's.

We have a place called Buffalo Co. was originally opened by a family from Buffalo and the wings were BOMB. Then they got bought and service and food went through the poopter.

If anyone ever wants to make a killing in the restaurant business -- open a Buffalo inspired joint in Denver.

This is not a food city.

Wasn't directed at you, these were amassed over time.

And you are completely right. Samson is not the best #2 overall, far from it. I just don't see him as the dumpster fire and bust of a pick that others do. I also think he's gaining on a lot of guys from his draft class that were deemed miles ahead.

I hear ya, not sure if Homie was serious on that. I was just referring to Hanks counterpoint.

And you better not throw frozen dumb poop. If it's frozen, it's probably food. And if it's probably frozen food, I want it defrosted and consumed. We don't want to leave any crumples on the plate.

Edit: And no, I have no idea what the last part means. Just felt right.

Berglund ? He’s going to be gone

They’re not gonna let a toxic guy in the locker room when they just got rid of one

Usually people that give off negative energy are the worst they make everything so depressing

- gerbe75pts


One person isn't a problem if you have a good foundation like it sounds like they have now. PHam was on the radio earlier talking about how guys just hang out in the room now as opposed to in the years past where only the players that the media requested would be in the room and the place was like a tomb, and now everyone's in there and it's hard to hear yourself talk.

My guess is that this turns out in a similar way that the Mike Richards situation did. Both sides end up coming to some sort of agreement in which we'll end up paying him some sort of money but he's no longer under contract.

You have to keep in mind that overall, the owners are going to want the Pegulas to fight this in some way as well, because if they don't, it sets a precedent for other players to randomly do things like this with no consequences.

It also depends on the status of the player, Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart can skip practice and are just suspended for a game because they're important players, but a scrub like Berglund can't get away with that because the team will be fine, better even, when he's not.

sabres hold all cards


he can kiss their a$$ and they can take him back or walk away

by not putting him on unconditional waivers yet, they are giving him a chance to communicate but my guess is once it hits a week, this coming weekend, he will be on waivers

- homiedclown


If he shows up before they do anything they have to let him, they can bury him, they can scratch him, they can dress him but give him zero minutes, but they have to pay him, and they can't walk away or else they're the ones in material breach and a grievance would be filed so fast and they'd easily win.
