I can’t decide between the Montreal/Calgary game or the Florida/ Pittsburgh game.

Montreal Calgary will be a battle. Got nasty last year with the realignment

I'd consider moving all 3 first rounders for a top 3 , if we're not picking top 3. Say we finish with the 8th pick.

8th
23rd florida
26th vegas

Tuch could be dumont , but we need Drury, briere and vanek.

Is this a feasible trade? I imagine #1 wright would be off limits.

NHL teams don't really trade up like the NFL does. The Sabres are also in a spot where they can't afford (IMO) to give up 3 assets to get 1 back. If they're moving any of their 1st round picks it needs to be for NHL players.

We need to scout well and draft. We didn’t blow up our team to blow all of the assets on one piece that won’t make a difference, will get frustrated, demand trade

If they don’t land wright does Adams end up at badda bing, swearing, chain smoking, and drinking?

We need a true,
Pure goal scorer. We can’t waste our future on one now. Let’s hope Quinn pans out, and target all speed and scoring in this draft. Our D-man depth is pretty good. He have plenty of utility players. Need the scoring

Bossman, I’m goin to the Bills game at MetLife. Really looking forward to it. Bills offense carved up Saleh’s defense the last time they played. Hopefully history repeats itself. I think Saleh is a good coach. We’ll see.

I went to Jacksonville, probably the worst Bill's game ever. Got rear ended waiting on the exit enough to destroy our car, at 1130 right before the game. Everyone was fine fortunately.
Guy took off, we had to apprehend one of the suspects a few miles away. Got a Police escort with sirens and all to just make the game. Shout out Duvall sheriffs department.

Cant put my finger on the loss. Jags players saying we had zero emotion on the sideline. Allen looked bad. And I'm a huge fan. Hope its not bickering time...

I get the idea allen is trying to win the mvp every play.
Diggs isnt gonna keep quiet if we lose and low targets continue.

Have a great time 3ER. hopefully they slap 60 points on the jets.

Its beatdown statement time.

What's your thoughts on the jags loss?

Cautiously optimistic….

Still want to see help for Dahlin and Cozens in Rochester once Mitts or Olo are back.

That's why arizona might consider trading #2 for (3) 1st rounders.

I'm still.buying into the "stars" win Stanley cup theory.

Jack was a bad example...

Arizona is going to get Wright/Savoie and then Matthews in a few years, they're not moving the pick

I wish.

But there's a clear reason Arizona has been loading up on draft picks and trading away players. They're tanking even more so than Buffalo did in the McEichel draft.

There is no way they'd move their pick, unless you're sending them someone like Eichel...

As far as the Matthews thing goes, he is a UFA in 3 years, and other than Keller, Chychrun, and Schmaltz they have nobody under contract at that time, and it is no secret that the rumors are out there about Matthews headed home.

I'm pulling your leg.

Good post.

How about the Panthers (1st) and the phili (2nd) plus a defenseman for chickrun?

Led defenseman in goal scoring last year.

To be fair to him I made the same mistake, but I also don't watch prospects 24/7 either.

Nobody can hit on everything.

Sabres draft better with Gerbe at the helm the last 10 years than the people they paid hundreds of thousands to do next to nothing.

We’d have Debrincant and Jason Robertson instead of Asplund and Davidsson

We all knew there would be rough stretches. We obviously are lacking in places and the injuries are hurting.

Well the whole time you’re watching the Jags game, you think this is the drive they’re going to get it going like the Dolphins game, but it never happened. There were plays when Allen had time to throw and he couldn’t find anyone open or is gun shy for some reason. The last drive he hit Diggs like 3 times in a row and looked like if Allen had the guts to throw to him in tight coverage he wouldn’t have been stopped. Is Dawson Knox that important to the passing game? Their offensive struggles happened after they lost him. I’m tired of the constant dump offs and screen passes. I don’t even care if they don’t run at all until it’s time to soak the clock. The play calling needs some wrinkles though because it looks like the book is out on how to stop them. Allen gets too hyper and makes horrendous plays. He has a ball security problem.

I don’t like complaining about the refs, but the refs destroyed that game. Land Clark, start looking out for the assignments and hope they don’t get him the rest of the season. Bills get Scott Novak. He’s up there with Clark and Hochuli for penalties called. Clark gets the Steelers. We’ll see if Tomlin is raving about the increase in unsportsmanlike taunting calls in his post game presser this weekend.

Bills should win this one easily after being embarrassed last week.

I don't feel so bad that the Bills took 3 quarters to wake up against Miami, their defense finally woke up and started playing like last year.
