Me too, really hope Jiricek falls to us at 9 ( Doubt it) or atleast Luneau is there at Florida's pick. Finish that top 4 off.

Joker is a decent placeholder for now, imo.

Need to get that vet in there for next year, though. That corps is very, very young.

If he's going to analyze his hockey career from a purely business perspective, I'm not sure how that shakes out for the Sabres. Could go either way. Sabres could offer him a year shaved off his ELC, or he could walk away to go to any team he wants but puts himself a year behind.

That's what his Major is at Michigan, and he doesn't need the money his family is well off.

Has it been discussed that maybe Adams saw this coming, and that's why he wanted Levi?

I dont expect him to be 100% correct, but he simply can't lose 2 of the 3 either.
Now, figure out who is ctually going to walk and see if he can recover some asset in a trade for him/them.

Levy reportedly has always been a different cowboy of sorts...so maybe the UFA threat isn't as big with him.
The other two, I'm not so sure of

- IonSabres


Why can't he? He didn't draft Portillo or Johnson. Portillo was an after thought for 90% of the posters here until they ran out of things to complain about. If Johnson walks, well, whatever. We're stacked on D. Sucks losing assets but we'll survive.

As for Levi, 100% he signs with us after this season. He hung out with Adams for a couple of days in Boston. Watched practice. Watched the game. We're good.

I was not trolling you, FFS.

You made a comment about the Columbus GM avoiding Finnish players... So I linked you to a google search of Patrick Laine and posted a Sponge Bob mocking picture.

That is not trolling. Not everything kick

Of course you would fly off the rails because someone engaged you, what else did anyone expect?

But seriously, look up the definition of trolling. Responding to your post, on the topic of your post and posting a meme is not even close to trolling. It was a very simple reply, you were wrong, I posted a meme. That's not trolling.

What you are doing now, however, is in fact, trolling. Instead of responding to me like a normal human being, you started throwing around insults and derailing the thread like you always do. That's trolling 101.

I implore you to look the word up. If you don't want people to respond to you, or to point out how you were wrong, then don't post. It's pretty simple. You said the Columbus GM avoids players from his country. I reminded you that Patrick Laine plays for Columbus.

They are also going to extend him long-term. He has expressed his desire to stay in Columbus and talked about how much he enjoys it down here. That's the exact opposite of avoiding Finnish players.

Beady you are jump on fritz for nothing! He said drafted Finns not ones traded for . You owe fritz and apologize!! Don’t choke on it!!!

Oshie just destroyed Bennett. Might have been high, but Bennett leaned as well

They just showed it from another angle. Bennett was falling as they collided. Clean hit.

TJ Oshie is a good comparable to what Quinn could be

We're trying to build something special for the long term and YOU want to TRADE all of our picks.

I hate you and your family and you think Kevyn is getting FIRED tomorrow.

Personally, I like Joker right where he is in the Top 4. He's like the Tallinder or Lydman of the top 4. I'm fine with Fitz and Bryson as the bottom pair too. Would like to get another rugged defenceman in here if possible. I always like Mark Borowiecki.

Did anyone hear Rivet on Spittin Chiclets Podcast a couple weeks ago? Montreal GM said he had two things to work on after his rookie season.

1. Take a boxing class
2. Plan on 200 PIM

I think Fitz should get similar advice.
