I don't know, why are you worried about Casey? Some people have fat faces regardless of the shape they're in. He does not have a strong chin, it's just the shape of his face. Core strength and cardio-pulmonary fitness do not require being ripped.

That picture of Jack is incredibly unflattering if we're using your scale.

I don’t have to worry about jack he works his ass off all year and carries the team and plays through injuries because he cares about winning

Fat faces ? He was clearly out of shape he was given an opportunity on a SilverPlatter and he did nothing with the opportunity why ? Because he was clearly out of shape and his body wasn’t ready for the hockey season he needed to be sent to Rochester for a wake up call instead they gave him all star treatment

We’ll see when September comes how in shape he looks

Maybe a little harsh on the kid, neither he or dahlin ever played that many games. Bottom line is botts Bergland 2c experiment failed miserably. Forcing mitts into a 2c roll.

Regardless of “how in shape” he was botts failure to have a back up plan to the 2c didn’t help and house’s cluelessness behind the bench further hindered mitts.

Botts still hasn’t addressed the 2c, I am hoping for something more than what we see. I still want the 2 season vet in that roll. But that’s easier said than done...

Be a little easier on the kid, see what he brings in camp and let’s roll from there.

If you believe Krueger, there is a huge emphasis on the off ice work outs.

It seems like if a player does not commit to the off season program, I wonder what the consequences will be.

To play devils advocate...... his Instagram golf posts have all been in the evening for the most part

What if he lifts / skates in the morning and then plays 18?

He should call again, but to Connor's agent and see what kind of offer he's looking for.

Laine wants 8-10 a year, Sabres won't pay that, The Canes were never going to lose Aho and the Sabres didn't call about him.

The response from gerbe will likely be:

he's playing fortnite until 5am. then goes to sleep. wakes up. more fortnite then the course.

Of course, i added punctuation so it's probably off base.

Conner will get paid, i'm guessing Laine gets a short term deal. Conner is the guy they should pay for and go after.

Montreal made it too easy on the Canes.

If Montreal is going after Marner, they are going to have to go above and beyond.

In all honesty, I think that's the normal routine for most players in the summer. Wake up and meet with the trainer, then go home, shower, and do whatever in the afternoon.

To me, the Habs are in panic mode. Let someone else over pay for Marner.

Sabres don't have a 3rd so that is not possible.

Maybe someone should tell Botts.

For an offer sheet between 8-10M, the Sabres need their 3rd rounder.

I don't think the Sabres, like you said, want to pay Laine that much anyway.
