Sarcasm is a lot more effective when used sparingly.

So he ends up being your 7th dman this year, he's a RFA at the end of the year, It either works out or it doesn't and it cost you a 5th and 1.9m to find out, that will break the Bank. Imagine taking that swing and he actually worked for a 5th. And the losing part comes from thinking that it would hurt to have given it a shot, like the Sabres are loaded at D.

Plenty of reason to think he's better than Joker. That's why people had him as a trade target all summer.

Sure, but they're not going to do that. They had a chance to get someone with at least some potential for a pack of melted gum and a couple dried out rubber bands

Was wondering why I saw that worker scraping the Wrailings outside the arena.

You think the Sabres giving up 3 goals and 34 shots on a goal to a team destined to pick top 3 this year the other night was a coincidence ?

Perhaps they shouldn’t have sat the best defensive forward on the roster ?

I mean I think we'd all agree his career to this point is much better than Kale Clague, right?

Sabres called on him 3 days ago and were told a 2nd and a decent prospect, Vancouver was first told Hoglander and a pick. Bear wanted out, he has been asking since last year. The price dropped and Sabres never answered

Kale Clague is just such a perfect Sabres drought name that I almost can't believe it's real

Did you see the Clague vs Joker WAR comparison floating around? Bear blows them both away.

It's tough. I would have traded for Bear if they had no injuries on D.

Obviously you didn't watch the game.

1st goal was bounced in off of owen power.
Asplund would not have made a bit of difference.

We outplayed montreal. Should have won the game.

If assplund was so important, why is he scratched again?

Now you're second guessing donnie, maybe you should second guess yourself.

Asplund is (to me) obviously not good or tough enough to play against.

You had an arguement, when you asked if I watched the games. How ironic that 1 day later assplund gets scratched.


Now he's sitting kiddo , again......
Time to look in the mirror

I'm sitting in my kitchen thinking about cracking open a beer on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Fwiw, I didn't complain about him making the team. I understood it was a numbers game and he was waivers exempt. I do not understand why they're playing Mr. Kale Clague tonight though

I know it's only 2 games, but he's been worse than even VO and Mitts. Also think his waiver exemption is on their mind.

xGF%
Pilut 24.2%
VO 34.7%
Mitts 36.7%

Waiver exemption should never come into play on a 6-7 D, when you already have 3 of them.

when you're playing terribly and you're about to lose your waiver exemption, I'd think it's a factor. could be wrong.
