If we're having fun:

Dahlin - DeMelo
Dunn - Jokiharju
Merrill - Miller

- kingcong39


I would LOVE that lineup

Dahlin ($6.5m) - DeMelo ,($4.0)
Dunn ($4.2m- Jokiharju ($2.5m)
Merrill ($2.5m)- Miller ($3.85)

Totals ~$23.5m as a WAG...passes the sniff test for Cap purposes....would need the F's to come in around $50m and G's at $5.5 if they are going to spend to the Cap. If they go with an internal budge closer to $70m ... well, they would need to wait on Dahlin and Joker extensions until Mojo's deal ends and replace him and another F with Vet Min or ELC deals.

I bought you this:

This would not be the first time a “One Bills Live” host has been benched. John Murphy was temporarily removed in 2019 for saying the Pegulas were rash in firing Sabres head coach Phil Housley after two seasons.

It will be very interesting to see just how devoted and committed to analytics they actually are or if it's just lip service.

Interesting read from that Dunn article, Sabres are 1 of 4 teams with only 1 person in their Analytics Dept.
Toronto with 7 or 8.

They need to add another or two, along with integrating that skillset into their Scouts as Adams has indicated the direction will be.

Let's hope so.
I also believe that unless they get a superstar, that 8-OA is critical to their long-term interest.

Very true, this long layoff should hopefully help with that. It will be interesting to see how the grade players, and see how they try to go forward with line combinations. Think that will go a long way with who they try to trade for or sign in FA.

In my experience, having 3 analysts/developers usually leads to better recommendations as the consensus more easily notices potential missteps in the gathering and analysis of data before it is presented. That garners greater trust from those the data is being presented to, especially compared to incomplete data or analysis being presented before it is reviewed and fine tuned.

I forgot that Frank Gore was a Jet. Apparently, he's been better than Le'Veon Bell at this point, as Bell hasn't looked good at all - according to reports.

Ok enough is enough, the next post that talks of politics or radical racial content will be banned for a very long time.

It has become absolutely intolerable reading the posts in here.

Tanners blog has been locked down, the Hawks blog has been cleaned up, this one is next.

Any issues check rule #1 in the CoC, or you can complain straight to CaptEO.

And you wonder why John Murphy Chris Brown and other pegula employees are so bias. They say one thing wrong and then get suspended.

Rob Ray on WGR though is pretty open but I don’t think he’s technically a PSE employee. He works for msg?

I would doubt Ray as an MSG emp,oyee..I may be wrong, but would be surprised if true.
I thought MSG served as a medium to get the Sabres games broadcasted, not to provide the on air/screen talent.

Almost certain that you're right and they are Sabre's employees.
