Couldn't make it last night. Thanks for the highlights. Really enjoyed the session with Quinn and Peterka a couple of months ago.

KA comes off as "one of us"

Eating at mighty taco
Sitting in the oranges as a kid
Going to "open practice"

Buffalo guy and super likable.
Quick witted.

Dan Dunleavy is excellent as well. Lots of appreciation for him as well.


Mostly just lip service though ...

Everyone holding grudges this morning.

Nothing better then trolling Boss 2 days after a game and 2 days before the next.

Bring it bitckes...

You're the only one trolling with girgensons, aside from homie.

You were %100 wrong with asplund

Girgensons = 10/ 20 point guy was my prediction

He's close...

Look back. You brought this up, not me. Everyone knows who's trolling here.

So now you've spoke to "everyone " and come up with a consensus.

You got me.

I hope the Sabres replace girgensons, olofsson, jost , asplund (again), okposo and your new guy #12.

Just spoke with the top dog, plenty of replacements

Glad you're ready to turn the page on your favorite players.

Donnie's not my guy, so Donnie's guy is also not my guy. Is that the one KA move you'll criticize?

Its probably ok to both not like greenway right.

I mentioned #12 came with some "issues".
I wasnt sure what that meant, injury or other issues.

But if my guy Donald wants to pound a table, I guess I'm pounding next to him?

Next year a fresh start on the 4th line .....

I really don't know what's coming. Savoie and Kulich have earned the opportunity to make this team next year and I'm not sure how they do that. Greenway clogs things up even more.

Need to see KA navigate this well because he's had a few years to plan for it.

It depends on what the plan is for him- and what the plan is for Jost and Girgensons

I’m pretty sure Okposo is done.

If they want to plan on Greenway on L4 and have basically the 4C and 4RW open for competition that leaves the possibility for Rousek and a UFA to come in.

If they bring back 28 and Jost. It’s muddled

Seems like the 12 trade was to "satisfy " the coach and fans kinda?

No way there's room for 12, 28 and 21.

KA was beaming talking about levi and how he brought him out to eat ect.

Beaming about savoie and kulich too.

Told the story about kulich looking up to Lukas rosesk.
How excited after the game , how he was at the game.

Very family friendly vibes everywhere.

Question/ answer was more about , hey remember me, I met you here, I've been a sth since.....

Thing I noticed most though, everyone thanked him and are super excited for the 1st time in a long time.

KA's pulling the wool over my head as well......

Glad you keep me grounded 🍻

dahlin-someone

with this, olofsson, joker are traded in offseason

jost walks with girgesn, vinny, okposo

comrie waived


27 mil for 2 decent d men and a goalie on short term deals

f. anderson, raanta, korpisalo, varlamov for goalies

gustafsson, orlov, graves for LD
mayfield, hamonic, gudas for RD



after looking at the RD, may have to keep samualsson on top pair by default and keep joker and have him or lyubushkin as 7th d man for when samuelsson is healthy

All very reasonable. I'd prefer to add an "old white guy" to the forward ranks myself.

This 12 guy really grinds my gears.
