Johansson is the example I agree with. Berglund works too.

That's 2 players in three years and the only reason Johansson is there is because Berglund retired and Mitts wasn't ready.

It's really just the 2C spot where it's been a cluster(frank)

Jason "This team is going to be fast and play north and South"

Acquires Frolik and Simmonds. Two of the worst players in the NHL.

Took a garbage deal on Scandella so he could acquire Frolik.

HE put this roster together, It is mostly Replacement level and below, outside of what 5 guys?

And a top-6 wing spot

And the 4th line being a 3rd line

And Hutton being a starting goalie

And Risto still being the 1RD

All positions where they're playing over their heads

Services = missed

The team has replacement level players and below in a lot of places.

Yes, yes you do

If you gave me the choice of 25 straight bottom five finishes with a guarantee of a championship in year 26 or 25 straight playoff appearances knowing I wouldn't get a championship in any of them, I choose option A 11 times out of ten. One year of greatness is worth 1000x more than several years of mediocrity.

If you can find more than 3 teams that have a complete roster with no weak spots, I’d love to hear them.

Most teams have some guys playing above where they should or a RD playing left D or a goalie playing poorly.

Hell, who’s Boston’s 3rd line?

Zach Bogosian is playing along side Victor Hedman

The NHL is weird

So you think the Sabres are good?
Should we bring back Botts?

No. You should back read the convo.

The Sabres are bad. So was Botterill.

There are no guarantees you'll win a championship. But I can guarantee you can't win a championship from 25th place in a 24-team playoff.

I hope this 8th overall pick works out.

Right now it looks like we're 1-for-3 with Nylander, Mitts and Cozens from the 7 and 8 hole

The Larry line was one of the better lines in hockey.

Cozens/Kahun/Mojo could all play in the top 6 with a capable Center.

I agree with the point about Risto and Hutton.

Police was in pursuit on the move, he was aiming at his legs while the bastard was running away.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Police need yearly training, not just one very short training and be done.

People also need to realize that you cant do whatever you want without consequence.

This did not justify this man being shot/murdered. Should have been detained by non-lethal force and cuffed by. But ill wait until the whole story comes out before passing judgement.

Very rarely are there instances where the police need to be playing executioner.

Here's my idea

+Defund Welfare 35%
+Defund Military 10%
+Institute Public Work 4 Public Assistance Programs
+Limitations on monthly public assistance payouts; increases only tied to inflation rates
+Participation in Public Asssistance dependent on prescribed Educational & Training Achievements
+Increase Police funding equal to 15% of the 35% Welfare Defunding; 0.001% tied to Shooter Accuracy Training...learning how to hit the little toe of a fleeing felon refusing to obey orders; .001% tied to MAF Training
+Funding of new Domestic Violence Reduction Administration equal to 20% of the 35% Welfare Defunding
+Defunding of Mail in Voting equal to the number of a) deceased voter registrations, b) duplicate, triplicate, quadruple, + ballot mailings, c) valid ballots misdirected, undelivered.
+Defunding of 100% pay for Congressional Terms of more than 2 terms. Sure, serve 3 or more!,,...for no pay, no endorsements, no speaking fees, no consulting fees, etc. ... FREE PERIOD.
+Legalize Marijuanna and Tax at 100% of Retail Prices
+Fund manataory Literacy, Science and Math curriculum through HS for all Students. Absenteeism directly reduces all Public Assistance Programs by 75% ( or pick a suitable number)
+Immediate release of all inmates, and purging of Convict Record for All who are incarcerated for Possession, Selling and Distribution only offenses. If a person also had an illegal gun, orther offense...tough poop do your full allotment of time.
+Funding for a new Illegal Gun Repossession Squad, charged with tracking and repossession of illegal guns primarily from gang members and felons.

Dude had a knife in hand and was involved with a domestic that brought police there with numerous felony warrants. Info coming out that he threatened to get a gun in the car and shoot police.

*If* this is the facts then what do you expect police to do

The life long politicians make money outside of their pay for the job. They get it through information, lobbyists and other crap. Need limits on number of terms like they do for president. Also need to end lobbyists some way. Our system is so corrupt no one gives a crap about the people they represent till they need their vote every couple of years.

Gerbe doesn’t care about black lives. only cares when it’s a white person that kills one so he can post on social media how much he cares while doing nothing meaningful in real life

About $5m more going the other way to Calgary needs to be added.
I know the article was about the need to move Giodano, but that is too much money coming the Sabres way without relief the other way.
Do the Sabres need Giordano? They could use his leadership to be sure, but they certainly don't need his celery. Only way I do that is include Okposo...even throw in Tage to seal the deal, but the 1st would be 2021's not 2020.
They wouldn't do it.

Not sure there is all that much voter fraud despite what some say.

With the welfare thing, I would worry about starving children so would you increase school lunches? The parents may be royal F Ups but I don’t want kids to starve.

Legalize the weed and free all the guys in prison for selling it.

It’s funny because many of your points I can agree with and would be similar to many African American activists who want to have treatment options, health care, and jobs training and reduction of illegal guns.

Special ed funding for kids with learning disabilities that can’t pass math or language. Job training instead.

I bet if those things happened, the need for police would go down in a decade or so by about 25%.

It’s funny because here in Canada we pay a lot of taxes but have healthcare included. What do you think would happen in they say, made Florida pay 1% income tax? How much would that generate? Would people pay 1% sales tax or whatever to have some health care or some Social programs to help the less fortunate? It’s interesting to think about.
