You follow along, someone asked for an opinion, I provided one.

If you guys are gonna go around and pretend trump is gonna be reinstated, that the vaccine is not a good idea or pretend that the return for sam was good , after your 7 years of fluffing...

I'm gonna let you know my feelings.

Sam got what he was worth. Minimum value. ☝️

I'm not sure why everything is 100% one way or another.
You have no grey area...

In ror's case the return sucked. He was a really good player and proved it by winning the stanley cup and a handful of trophies.

You were wrong.

Different gm as well.

Now, within the same week 2 guys get traded for different returns.

Risto - who you wanted to leave for seattle too claim for free gets the 13th pick, a 2nd and a player.
How many posts over and over did you repeat how he was a 5th or 6th defenseman?

You were wrong

Sam - traded for futures. You loved him.

You were wrong, he got very little return

- Boss34

This is a lot of words to basically say you have no discernible point whatsoever

You’ve repeatedly used Reinhart’s lack of a return, and Ristolainen large return, as an indicator of how good they are and how people were right or wrong

But that logic doesn’t apply when discussing guys we traded for peanuts that were good players.

It’s why your points aren’t taken seriously

Probably dealing with eichel/;the sabres and still giving 100% on the ice was a drag.

You really didnt like ror when he was here in buffalo?

Try hard guy , never took a shift off. Offensive and defensive forward...

Nice thing though, ror signed autographs and took pictures 🙂

So, ror was traded for berglund, sobokta, timber and some picks. Different gm, different situation.

If timber or Johnson (2nd round pick) pan out and become quality nhl players, the trade wouldnt look as bad.

You wanted him gone for anything, because you are not good at evaluating hockey talent.


As for risto, you will never admit that you repeatedly said he sucked, was a 5th or 6th defenseman and that we should have kept borgen and left him unprotected.

The return for risto is a direct correlation between keeping borgen (which you wanted) and trading risto for a great return.

I was the only poster saying , dont expect much from sam and that risto's return would be greater.

You were wrong.

Or wong a lot

Noooo. Dang, I just heard Emotional Rescue on the radio while waiting for my Mighty order and thought to myself, "man, the drumming is so good in this song". Not spectacular but perfect for the song.

Ror publicly cried his way off 2 teams, then rolled backwards into the perfect storm opportunity on a stacked team. I'll never look at him as a good Sabre, only one that cried like a baby in public until he got what he wanted.

Sounds eerily familiar nowadays with Jeichel, too. Watch him cry his way onto Tampa (somehow), spend the whole year on ir, then win the Goddamn Conn Smythe.

St Louis was stacked when ror was traded there?

That's interesting, name a few of the superstars..
Taresonko and...


Or stars....

They had only ( 2 ) 20+ goal scorers other than ror.
One with 23 and one with 33.

Jaden Schwartz scored the blues through the first two rounds of the playoffs that year.

I know you aren’t supposed to criticize a female athlete for some reason, especially a female athlete of color, but I cannot stand her.

So does schwatz having a good playoff mean that ror steped into a stacked st. Louis team?

I'm not sure if there has been a team that won recently that is less stacked.

Tampa is stacked
The caps were stacked
Bruins pretty stacked
Pittsburgh
Chicago

Just because someone doesnt like how ror left the organization, doesnt mean he wasnt a really good player.

Also, doesnt mean he went to a super franchise full of stars and was the final insignificant piece.
He was the difference maker..

You can argue whether or not marijuana should or shouldn't be a banned substance, but the reality is, right now, it is. If you're (supposedly) working that hard to get to the top of your craft, you need to be smarter than that, period.

right guy, wrong time

he floated a lot his last 30 games as a sabre

if we waited another 12 to 24 months before adding a ror, a kane and a goalie things might have been different


but terry wanted to rush the rebuild

Honestly that’s the least thing that annoys me about her.

And it wouldn’t surprise me if that was a ploy to get attention because that’s all she cares about

She defended Chris Brown beating Rhianna, has some pretty awful anti gay tweets (yes I know she’s bi) and is just crazy arrogant

She just sucks
