Do you make an offer to try and get Nicklas Backstrom ? looks as though it may be hard for the Caps to re sign him.

Sure know something doesn't go with acid. Dynasty is a great album.

Dynasty is terribly under-rated

I just read an article that he and Ovechkin plan on signing team-friendly contracts to play out their careers there and that Backstrom is negotiating without an agent, even. Both of them are going to sign contracts that transition them into management roles within the organization.

Rock an Roll Over is another great one, i'd post pictures of my KISS collection but i'm too stupid to figure out how to do it.

Would the Sens move Pageau ?and would they move him to the Sabres ? The Sens will have all kinds of money to pay him.

I can only imagine

True story: My first concert was the first KISS farewell tour in Buffalo when I was 16. Skid Row and Ted Nugent opened.

Skid Row were awful.

Seen that show here also, Skid Row does suck, they are on their 5th singer I think.

Charlie Coyle should have been a Sabre last season.

I get the frustration,
but we can’t be overpaying 3rd liners out of desperation
That’s not how to build a Contender dude

- jdfitz77

I just can’t stress enough how little I care about overpaying or who isn’t earning their contract

We have a shot at being really good, like right now. And this dingleberry GM won’t get ballsy.

The Leafs aren’t great

The Bruins are slipping

The Bolts are asleep.

You have Eichel having maybe the best year he ever has, and some emerging young D men.

(frank)ing go for it

Mark Stone got 9.5, there was no way Skinner wasn't getting 9. doesn't matter if you like Skinner or not, you can't deny seeing how pissed he is just by looking at his face during the games. He needs a Center and RW.
- SABRES 89


Can mojo play rw if we find a center. Or maybe super shot tt gets healthy?

Huh??
Even if we got Taylor Hall we wouldn’t be a Cup contender
Coyle isn’t moving the needle for us that much dude

You were the guy screaming not to keep Kane & O’Reilly bc of their age & contracts
Now u want us to bring in guys that are worse

I don’t get it
Coyle doesn’t get us past the real contenders
What’s our record against the Bruins, Leafs & Tampa?
We aren’t there yet dude

And we don’t need to make desperate moves in a race to a 1st round playoff exit

Why can’t we contend now?

I’m done hearing it. This isn’t 2016.

They have a good blue line, an absolute superstar center, a goalie who seems to be getting pretty good, and what looks like a good coach.

All the while the teams we thought were super good in our division, aren’t doing that well.

Yeah. He played RW for Boston in the playoffs last year & looked pretty good
MoJo is pretty versatile

If everything goes right, then maybe we win a round

I appreciate your Homie-like optimism here
But there’s still a lot of work to do before we are legit contenders

These teams that are in our division that u don’t think are “super good” have cleaned our clock this year

Play winger during contract year with all world center- winger scores 40 goals you give him a huge new contract- then you decide not to play him with all world center anymore- it makes absolutely no sense
- mattmoulson


eichel and his 17 game point streak say hi.

Olofsson has been best thing that happened to Jack.

Maybe flip Reinhart with Asplund or Vesey to get our $9M even strength goal scorer going.

Olofsson was putrid on Jacks wing for 20 games and Eichel was a PPG player.

It’s hard to take you seriously sometimes.

Eichel has been a one man show this year

Olofsson & Asplund played well together in Rochester
So what if we tried this:

Skinner-Jack-Sam
Olofsson-Asplund-MoJo
