Casey, Ruotsalainen, Asplund, E-rod


those 4 are playing for the middle 6 center spots IMO

- homiedclown



I feel like they are hoping Ruotsalainen will make it. The risk of him going back to Finland is not ideal.

Maybe his home club will let him go to Rochester for a stint if there is an agreement to bring him up to the Sabres in a short amount of time.

I understand that those God-damned Whigs are up in arms about the methods by which the Know-Nothings raise money for their campaign war-chest. Well, what of it?, I initially thought; it's typical of those Whig bastards, smarting as they are from their defeat in the last election.

But, as I came to realize, if the Whigs have their way, the Know-Nothings would be forced to return their hard-won bounty, and leave Washington in disgrace. It would spell utter disaster!

Once, many years ago, one of those lousy Whigs invited Mrs. Zweibel and myself to a grand dinner and dance at his town-house in Boston. Not only was he an insufferable Brahmin-type who constantly had his needle-nose imbedded in a box of snuff, and served his guests a dish which looked like enormous boiled insect thoraxes, he also had the appalling nerve to seat me next to the editor of The Brickton Atlas-Trumpet, P. Oliver Gummidge!

Now, in those days, The Brickton Atlas-Trumpet was the hated arch-rival of The Onion, and a filthy Whig mouth-piece to boot. "Ah, glad you could make it, Zweibel," Gummidge said. "Delicious autumn weather they've been having up in Cape Cod. You should see the colors!" So incensed was I at these hostile and inflammatory words that I picked up a tureen of scalding mock-turtle soup and expelled the contents over Gummidge's bald head.

As Gummidge screamed in agony, I collected Mrs. Zweibel and boarded the carriage back to our hotel. How Mrs. Zweibel carried on so! "We'll never be accepted by polite society now!" she wailed. Her head was always filled with silly dreams of becoming a wealthy and respected matron, playing bridge with the Astors and acquiring Baroque art. But I refused to have her emulating the effete, prancing ways of the Whigs, even if it meant a reduced social status!

Well, well, well, look who is here.

What's the Sabres side?

Would the Jets want McCabe on the same team as Laine?

My company pushed an OS update for windows.

It brought down the company, again.

2nd time in a month.

I think he anticipates this is going to happen.

It's not like the situation last year with the Guy That Won The Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy, where there was an artificial July 1 deadline to beat. There's no hurry to trade him, if that is indeed the plan.

Risto has been shopped since the deadline
There’s no room for him

They’re not going to switch a players spot such as miller and Montour that be extremely stupid and Jokiharju already was playing top pairing minutes before he got sent down because his new coach didn’t like him so he’s starting

Talk about a defensive overhaul (since GMJB has been here). Here are guys I have read are NHL caliber guys (now and in the future):


- Dahlin
- Montour
- Henri Jokiharju
- Miller
- Pilut
- Borgen
- Oskari Laaksonen
- Ryan Johnson
- Mattias Samuelsson

This position should be set for a bit, we need to move some older D to help the forwards as that is lacking quite a bit.

- Lilroot9

you got skinner and reinhart for top line

olofsson, johansson, vesey, sheary, tage for the middle 6
e-rod if needed

much better then the past


and risto is what, 24?

"Buffalo, that kind of stuff, that's in the past. Obviously thought maybe I would be in the NHL sooner than I have been, but I'm just really excited, looking forward to being part of the Blackhawks organization," Nylander said. "Really good with development players, so they actually know what they're doing."


What a S$$T bag.

He still doesn't get it.
Taylor was sick of yelling at him 24/7 to get him to play winning hockey.
Perimeter player with high end skills and speed.
Good luck Alex, you will need it.

If they have been shopping or listening on him, then there have had to be proposals they have turned down.

They aren't in a rush to move him, so they can wait for whatever they are looking for to come along.

If he thought he should have been in the NHL sooner, then he should have worked harder for it.

maybe he will get it in Chicago.

not our problem.

This is what I don't understand.... people keep putting Risto into trade scenarios but every time it is another winger coming back and NOT a center. So the problem is still there that everyone harps on daily.
