I think I've finally convinced the wife to let me rent a jackhammer and replace our drain tile this summer. I'm kind of excited. The excitement will probably last one day. Ive got glass block windows, so i have to carry all the cement out of my basement in buckets.

Still have to add rd to the pipeline. But I see what you are saying…

IF… the Sabres wanted to fix rd and try to acquire one via trade or free agency, who would your target be?

I mean, they have one needed a rd for dahlin since they drafted him. Im sure they can wait one or two more seasons to find someone…

I don't see anyway they don't pick at least one RHD if they keep all their 1st and 2nd round picks as there could be 6 or 7 RHD's drafted in the 1st round alone.

This weekend was brutal.

Friday basement flooded. Have to rip out all carpet and tile.

Saturday wake up to no heat.

Today wake up and only have hot water run out quickly while showering.

Welcome to my weekend.

Thursday night, wife called me at work. 4 inches of water in the basement. Finally got home, figured out that the sump pump failed. Hooked up garden hoses to two submersible pumps, and started them up. Extracted the old pump from the hole (by now there's at least a foot of water down there). Sent her to get a new one and by the time she gets back, I'm installing a new pump in 14 inches of water on the basement floor, plus the two feet of water in the hole. Not easy. Took about 30 hours to pump out. Hot water tank, furnace, washer, dryer, all under water. Everything back up and running yesterday except the hot water tank.

Since top line is clearly set for this year, krebs/Cozens/Quinn when Quinn gets back? Hopefully VO will be gone by then
- lulags


With Peterka and Quinn both being eligible to have their ELC contracts slide, and both having 8 games left before the slide goes away, I doubt either plays more than 7 games the remainder of this season with the Sabres.

If they keep all their picks, I could see them picking a forward with their pick and still selecting a pair of RHD prospects before the end of the 1st round.

I'd be calling Carolina constantly, asking about Scott Morrow, Ethan Bear 🐻, or both.

Those last few weeks should be interesting with the player's that could be in the lineup.

I think they're going to bring back players like Ritchie as part of the return in trades, for among many reasons, so they don't need to have players like Peterka and Quinn on the NHL roster the remainder of this season.

Could see that, but they are gonna see some games at the end. I think Weissbach Laaksonen Biro should get a look or 2 to.

They will, but if they see enough games to nullify their ELC slide, I'll be very surprised.

Yes, for sure on players like those you named.

Yeah, just don't think he would get the minutes with who is in front of him.
