Two 55 point seasons first two years in the league. I think he is really good. I think he would top 60 here easily playing with Eichel/Reinhart/Skinner.

You need to get Mitts damn good wingers to help him as well if your plan is him at 2C again.

He's not my plan at 2C.


I want to deal 31OA and like ERod or even Asplund and get AA from Detroit.

That is one of my ideal scenarios. 2 way center who potted 30. Might not be the greatest at assists but put him with Skinner/Olofsson and they can do some SERIOUS damage IMO.

Very Nice!! you will enjoy... I am partial to my 12ft HD projector in my theater room. first time I watched a hockey game with 4ft players in front of me was CRAZY. I shutter to think of the picture quality we had just 10-15 years ago... Now my phone has better picture quality.

Enjoy your new TV..

Yea.. Live TV left me something to desire. I tried turning on like the NBA draft last night that is on ESPNHD and the colors were not where I wish. I tried messing with settings a bit. Maybe it just wasn't filmed w/ 4K.

Everything that I've watched in 4K or Blu-Ray has been crazy. The guy told me to turn on Blue Planet to gauge what it can do. I swear I saw a pimple on a dolphins eye lid it was so amazing.

My Ideal scenario would be Kadri. I know he has a touch of crazy, but I have always liked the way he played.

For those that were around yesterday..

Got my new TV up. Went with the Vizio P-Series 65" UHD 4K 2160 w/ 120 hz. The Vizio P-Series has the exact same processor as does the QLife Samsung series (which is considered the best TV on the market) that actually fluctuates the 120-240 hz.

Very first thing watched on it last night.... Blu-Ray Godzilla.


The detail in the blue flame going into the Muto's mouth i literally paused it and said HOLY SH1T...

Never been so blown away by an image like this TV puts out.

I am in a very negative place concerning this team. They have been so bad for so long, and it seems they need so many pieces just to become an average team.

People I know who work for the Sabres used to absolutely LOVE Kim Pegula, now they despise her. According to them, she demanded O'Reilly be traded before his bonus kicked in, severely handcuffing the return. She was told how damaging the trade could be, that it could set the franchise back years, but she didn't care. She was extremely offended by his losing passion comments and wanted him gone ASAP.

I see Chris Kreider as this year's Skinner type trade. Last year before he becomes a UFA. Maybe being from Boston he and Eichel would become buddy buddy.
Trade with Vegas to help them with cap space. Reaves and Mcnabb.

Neither of these scenarios should cost a lot. Spector's comments stated that he doubts that NY could get a 1st for Kreider and Vegas is already over the cap.

If he had an awesome season we wouldn't want to pay for him. Buy low - he'd be a better bet than Lucic almost guaranteed.

Edit: I'd be cautious conflating HB participation with hockey awareness.

A puppy will die if we sign Simmonds. It's not worth it haha

I hope botts was able to learn something from being in the bills war room on draft day. They got what they wanted and seemed prepared for all scenarios.

Jordie Benn has decided to test the open market, per Montreal GM Marc Bergevin.
Benn produced a personal best 22 points last year with the Canadiens, while being credited with 128 blocks and 124 hits in 81 games. He was hoping to be back with Montreal at the end of the 2018-19 campaign, but it looks like he has chosen to keep his options open.

Literal projectile vomitting.


Our 2 absolute best trade pieces we have right now is 7OA and Risto and you want to give them both up for a ~52 pt scoring 2C and a pick like Crebs/Boldy.

I'd rather keep Risto and Cole/Zegras IMHO

- JVince11


Horvat put up 60 points last season

You're basically moving him for Risto and dropping 3 spots in the draft

Not to mention Horvat is signed for 4 more season at a cap hit of $5.5

Not too many 60 point players can be had that cheap

Not sure what's not to like there

Unless Horvat said something to anger upper management so much that forces them to make an emotional move.

I see that type of attitude all the time in the service industry.

Dreger I have not heard much on a possible Ristolainen trade. I would still lock the #Sabres in on rumors surrounding Jimmy Vesey. There has also been some speculation that Alex Nylander could be on the move, and it doesn't have to be as part of a possible Vesey trade.
