Why wouldn’t someone of his caliber be?
- sbroads24

at the time i said it his numbers weren't there and he was taking a lot o crap...no one else said it...not even sure anyone backed me up on it...

y'all think i'm a skunk-hater...not at all...have both chastised him and defended him for years but felt he really broke out the last two months of the season...

is that a bad thing?

If that trade was declined, then the return figures to be better.

Go get Zegras and 3 instead of Texier and 5

It needs to be better. The value itself is ok but you need more quality and less quantity

Elvis also does nothing for the Sabres other than being flipped for a 3rd at the TDL

I'm so sick of writers acting like Elvis is useful for the Sabres

Friedman's appearance on the instigators. He was totally distracted and answering in one word answers for a minute and a half and then Peters said "do you want to go?"

He was working on Hakstol stuff but it was just odd

Sure they abided by rules based ethical principals.

They definitely breached principles based ethics though.

There are a lot of things that are morally wrong that are done in the world that aren’t necessarily written in law.

It sounded like when someone is mad at you, but doesn't want to yell at you, but they're just giving you the cold shoulder w one word answers.

I respectfully disagree.

Getting a surgery in December when he could have gotten it in September to keep a super team in place definitely is wrong in principal.

No, but I feel it’s sort of a back handed compliment or really just saying something without really saying anything.

Of course he is a guy who could play on a championship team. Quite a few bad hockey players end up lifting the cup
