I would take 1.5m to whisper in people's ear about good vibes.

So everyone pretty much is saying that Savoie isn't making the team? any chance he gets 1 to 9 games with the team before being sent to a league he shouldn't be playing in?
- SabresFaninIndiana


the idea here is twofold. There's no room for him and he needs to improve his strength. He hasn't played or practiced in several months. Based on the depth of the team and the legitimate will to win, I don't think he gets his 9. But that's before seeing what he does in the preseason.

From a non Sabres fan Goaltending looks to be a major issue on paper at least. Very shocked they didn’t address this yet.
- furio16


Sabres goaltending isn’t a major issue yet.

It’s a major unknown.

Eric Comrie as of right now, is still an unknown. Was his 19 games last year a fluke? We don’t know.

So they did address it. We just don’t know how it’s going to go.

Well just put the Pork Shoulders in the Smoker, low and slow. Add the Brisket here in a hour or so. Gonna be a fun Day and Night. What's on the menu today Boy's and Girls. Today is Pulled Pork and Brisket Day with Barbecue Baked Beans and Bacon Mac&Cheese. And then a little Smoked Cheesecake to finish it off

- washedup20


No. A euro can be loaned to the CHL but not vice versa. Auston Matthews never played for a CHL team so he was able to go to the NLA for development prior to the draft. The CHL is quite strict. You're there or the NHL (until 20 season/4 CHL years). That's why everyone aspiring to go the ncaa route is part of the USHL/Euro.

COVID had special rules where guys like Brandt Clarke and Mason McTavish could play in Europe because the OHL shut down.

Going to a neighbour's backyard, so I'm not responsible for the main.

Going to make some shotgun shells - just need to hit Costco shortly.

Going to stuff it with bison - so we all have the spirit of the buffalo within us.

May also do a smoked cream cheese - just for poops and giggles.
