Laughter pushes away the existential dread?

Dread? My soul is devoid of whatever remaining emotions of hope it once held.

But it definitely is funny

Remember when we had faith in this new management for like 30 seconds when they made that brilliant Ristolainen trade? Then they proceeded to fumble the Reinhart trade, have almost every team move on from Eichel, and lose the goalie they chose not to trade at the deadline?

I'm not sure how anyone fumbled anything?

It's similar to purchasing a home.

Everyone put their offers in and its generally really easy for the seller to choose the best offer.

Same goes for both risto and sam.

Eichel is more like a commercial property

What the hell? Are they trying to drive the value of LHD up by signing every (frank)ing one?

Adams was a economics major. He did really well on Supply and Demand.

Pysyk is another smart signing. Caggiula, Hinostroza, Pysyk all cheap short term guys with decent advanced stats. Refreshing that we're not signing Eakin types.

Not complaining but it is funny.

He can play the right side as well so that helps.

The timing on that was impeccable. I saw the FB post from the sabres and came in here and saw your post and just assumed you saw it too

4 years and 5 million on the surface seems steep for Ullmark. Any insight you all may be able to provide on him and that contract? I don’t watch much of the Sabres.

He's a cheap multi-useful player. The analytics have always been strong

Kevin Adams is that you? Is this why Jack wasn't traded yet, cause you have been on Hockey Buzz all day?
