Exactly why I don’t want him. When was his last decent year. He’s a warm body forward to balance the forwards and d. Doesn’t move the needle.

He wants to play Center, that's been his complaint since he was with the Habs.

Yeah, I was thinking that too but I think Miller makes less, so the Sabres would have to send someone else to make it work for the cap.

Yeah Miller makes $3,875,000

Galchenyk makes $4,900,000

so someone else would have to go to fit the cap.

And we thought Tim Murray was under the gun.

Would they take him when he makes 2 million a year? Of course he is an RFA at the end of this year so maybe they would if they like some of his game.

I guess I’m ok with that. No major assets moved. Scrap in. Scrap out. See if gally can play center.

Olo. Jack. Sam
Skinner. Gally. Mojo (left or right)
Vesey. Asplund. Mitts
Gus. Larry. Okoposo.

Sheary.

Agree. But hurt. Can they trade injured players?

That happened like 3 hours ago but he had no shots on goal so, ya know, he is a gifted tipper. I thought he might play better back home.

Skinner played well as he should more often. When the announcers like Ray even say a couple times that "Skinner has played well tonight" it kind of insinuates he is not noticed many other games.

Risto has been solid

Olofson is showing himself to be quite a find and a well-rounded scorer

Hutton better turn it around or they are going to need another goalie.

They also said that Reinhart is the last guy to worry about before the game...

Rob ray really likes Reinhart. At least it seems that way when he's on the radio

This just makes my case Ray seldom even gives his cheap praise to Skinner's game and he finally has a good 60 min game where we notice him and he finally throws his praise on him. That is noticeable, it's not usually hard to get praise from Ray. A bad period by the Sabres can get spun well by him so this was noteworthy.

OK, i was at the game today in Vancouver. Here's what i saw from my seats:

- Hutton is useless
- McCabe, Bogo, Scandella - any/all could leave tomorrow and I wouldn't be upset
- If the Sabres are going to keep one of Girgs, Larsson, Okposo - make it Girgs
- Jack controls a game when he wants to
- our PP and PK still suck
- Oloffson - sneaky good
- Mittlestadt - did he play?
- they need a 2C in a bad way
-they were asleep in the first period.

Other than that, everything is good.

Ray is getting paid to like reinhart. That's why he likes him.

I'm not advocating for the rumored trade for Galchenyuk, but I'd be ok with it as well, of course depending on the assets used..
1 of Sandy or McCabe and 1 of Erod, Gus, Larson, Sheary.
Put them in a blender and keep mixing until Rutherford says yes....Pitt has $1.6m in cap space, so go for it.

Apparently Anahiem has been on their watch list as well.
Go get Rickard Rakell...expand the deal to include Ondrej Kase
Do what it takes, select from among Risto/Miller, Bogo, Mitts, 2020-2nd, Thompson, Smith, Fitzgerald, Bryson, Hickey ...put it in a blender until Murray says yes

VO-Jack-Sam
Skinner-Galy-Rakel. ...let Galy and Rakel's play determine who is C and who is RW
Mojo-Asplund-Kase
Vesey-Larsson-leftover

You can win with that

Should have traded for Coyle last year.
- Gr8daygo


Yuck
5.25mil for the next 6 years,
for a high end of 15goals & 45pts

His last 2 seasons he’s averaged 12goals & 32pts

He’s a 3C
We made the right decision to pass on him

Oh but who doesn’t love floral tinged stink. That’s all I’m gonna think when Okposo scores. Man that’s some good flower covered stank.
