Installing a new dishwasher today and it's a pain in my ass. You are to suffer with me, if only for that one moment of dread thinking a Risto extension is on the horizon. Which, God help me, better not be.

Have done the dishwasher a few times. Can be a pain. Risto extension would cause an implosion in Sabreland

So you think a team that just finished dead last is going to win more then lose after trading their best two players? I like the confidence. And would happily be wrong.
- SDSabre

get back to me in a few weeks

the team played much better once don got his feet wet behind the bench

and we see what the returns are for the trades

Does Seattle accept Ruotsalainen + Eakin?

JB loves him some Ruotsalainen

- Hank Balling

I like Routso. Like you said before, keep it simple, let them pick a player unless a low round pick will sway them.

Ruotsalanienen showed some good promise.

Young guy to develop under donnie G.

Looking forward to his game evolving next season in buffalo.

Any other season ticket holders? Any hanging around for tank4?

you can always bury or buyout eakin

no reason to give up a player like r2d2 for them to take a scrub with 1 year left on his cheaper deal

This I understand. I’m just thinking that the contributions from those trades will be impactful in a couple years as opposed to next.

The team is too soft in the bottom 6 imo. Asplund, Tage, Ruotsalainen, Okposo (please don't try to fight again), Eakin, Girgensons. I'd try to clear some clutter and bring in a couple bangers

I’d love to talk to him. How do you get all these roles you are clearly unqualified for. Could help me move up in my career 🤨

How does a goalie gain confidence on a team that is young and expected to make his life miserable. At least if they sign Ullmark he’s very used to it.

does it matter with the likes of houser and tokarski? UPL will be in Rochester with some spot duty in Buffalo.

Looking at the division, the 2 stanley cup teams from our division.

The improved panthers team
The improved senators team
Bruins being the Bruins
Leafs being the leafs

It's a really tough division.

Like you mentioned without 9 or 23......

Why not aim for a ted nolan type try hard team and get a new eichel? A new sam?

Replay the 2014-2015, seasons. Ted hockey....

In due time. Acquire and keep talent. Work on the rest later

Our isnt good enough to make side deals. Just like them take whoever they want.

Bury Eakin in the AHL next year

I'd be all for that except that it certainly looks like that someone could be Borgen who I would hate to see them lose after pouring in 5 years of development.

If it were Risto/Miller, have at it

If it takes a 6th to save Borgen, you don't even consider it because we're a bad team? It seems irrelevant to me.

So many people here and on twitter just want to give away Reinhart Eichel and Risto It’s getting annoying

I think one of, if not both, Duchene and Johnanson could be left unprotected by Nashville
