OK, I have seen it all now, we just signed Sean Malone, I was like who the frank is that.... Looks up stats and see a 26 year old Center with wait for it 2 NHL games played.

But he was born in buffalo, so there is that.....

This is a weird Ass day. Definitely signing Kahun and trading for Peterson now.

So what happens if we win the lottery next year? With those new rules about winning teams, are we out of the Bedard lottery in 2023?

Fell off a cliff last year.

However the past few years before that he was good.

Hope for a bounce back and get a pick for him at the deadline

Hasn't Sean been with this organization for a few years already or am I thinking of some other Malone?

Bills trending towards 12-14 wins. I would bet on them until we can find a goalie. Hard to stop pucks without one

This all ends with the Sabres finishing like 28th next year and then a team behind them wins the lottery and they end up picking 6th or 7th

The Devils are retaining $1 million of Will Butcher's $3,733,333 cap hit for 2020-21, per source.



Okay this makes ZERO sense, the Sabres could have gotten a higher pick, and now they need $12 million to get to the floor.

What the hell

Someone asked me earlier why I'm not in the Kraken blog.

Not enough suffering for me. Yet. But it's not looking good for them either.

Let's place a bet: Who makes the playoffs first this decade? Buffalo or Seattle.
