Fedun was a perfectly cromulent depth defender. Unfortunately Housley preferred Falk... which doesn't make a ton of sense considering what housley was as a player.

Anyway I hope it's Fedun. (frank) sour attitude Bogo and victim-mentality Lehner. Petty? Sure. I dont want either to win though. Sekera is fine too.

So, Dallas i guess

I wish Colorado would have pulled out a win against Dallas. I wanted Leafs fans to see Kadri hoist the cup. Im leaning into the role of emperor Palpatine. I'm a hater! I just want to watch things burn.



(frank) you Bogo! Orchestrate your way out of town by being a sour puss when you were hurt 1/3rd of your time here and utterly useless for most of the rest

Depending on the points system. You certainly went WR heavy. I would’ve done RB with the 4th. Kamera or zeke. Whom ever was left.

I have the 5th pick in my draft tomorrow. I am debating on micheal Thomas or an RB

- Sabretooth9

zeke was gone

I didn't want kamara at 4, so it was either thomas or a qb (6 pt td start 2 qbs)

I wouldn't trust cam or Jones.. ryan yes but what qbs did you pass on
- GERBE!!!75PTS

big 2 went in round 1 late

dak and wilson went in rd 2

brees, watson and brady rd 3

murray, minchew (homer pick) and allen in rd 4

big ben, wentz, rogers and staff in rd 7
I went best player and then grabbed my 3 qbs in rds 8, 10 and 11
I took jones and cam over gof baker, burrow, tanny, cousins and rivers

it was either cam in 11 or wait and pick rivers or carr later in the draft for the third


jones is going to be a stud with junk time

Per Rotoworld :

"Chad Kelly, waived by Indy on Saturday, could serve as the team's emergency quarterback if signal callers on the active roster test positive for COVID-19. "Swag" Kelly could very well be the swaggiest quarantine quarterback in the NFL".

From AP's Steve Whyno:

Big boy hockey: Heavy teams ready to battle for Stanley Cup

"...Speed and skill are the trend in hockey, and there’s no shortage of offensive talent left in the postseason. Tampa Bay’s Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov can light up opposing goaltenders, and each of the Western finalists is led in scoring by a young star defenseman: Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen and Vegas’ Shea Theodore.

But they wouldn’t be here without heaviness in their game. DeBoer points out that doesn’t mean being 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds but players being able to impose their will in puck battles and going to the “dirty areas” to score. The past two champions, the Washington Capitals in 2018 and St. Louis Blues in 2019, had plenty of that, and so will the team that wins this year."

Don't sleep on Brett Murray. Hot take - He'll play full time for the Sabres in 2021-22

Nothing against Murray but if he’s ever a Sabre we’re probably still (frank)ed.

he and pekar could be effective role players if they're developed properly and end up in those roles...which is a good thing...i'm not expecting anything more than that

Hard to imagine that they would. They are both waiver-exempt without big expectations. Doubt they see more than an injury call up for at least 2 years.

I just don’t think he has NHL skills. Waaaaayyy too slow to be a good forechecker and doesn’t have any offense.

Had one year in the USHL where he scored a lot but he was like 3 years older than everyone

Im 100% rooting for the islanders. Its nothing personal against the former sabres but (frank) em.

Even though I find myself kind of liking dallas here there is enough reason to never root for them

I have always rooted against tampa in the playoffs no reason to stop now

Still hate how vegas was gifted a team that went to the finals in the first year and will probably always resent them for it while envying their team

"Primal" with Nick Cage on Hulu is terrible. Even by bad nick cage movie standards, it's bad. Not in a fun way either

No, I'm assuming this coming season is the 2020-2021 season starting Dec. 1

Yeah, pretty sh!tty out there today...soaking rain...ugh. It's moving down south after 12 noon though...but the grass will probably be wet all damn day. Crap.

That being said, I've lived in the Buffalo area my entire 54.5 years now, and I can't recall a better year for weather in my entire life. From Winter until now, it's basically been perfect. I don't remember a spring and summer being this awesome. Perfect day after perfect day after perfect day.

Figures, there's a freakin' pandemic during the most amazing weather Buffalo has ever seen. Can't even enjoy it.

Buffaluck.
