You must not watch playoffs or the Stanley Cup if that's your interpretation

There wasnt 1 fight in the finals.

Couple big hits. 1 Giant hit. Guys get back up and keep skating. It aint about how hard you get hit. Its about how hard you can get hit and keep on trucking.

Is the Family next to you not taking there seats, I would think you are already locked in with 11yrs. Did you get a call from your Ticket guy about it yet ?
- Buff36

Family is keeping the seats, I'm just wondering how they are gonna handle the seniority issue.

Havent heard from my guy zack.

I figure the seniority probably isnt much different from 2004 and 2012. Some pretty lean years.

They have time to let there prospects build up and sit there ?

Benson will be too young for Roch next year. Guess it's time to mention. So many guys pushing for NHL jobs next summer.

IMO a swing for Tom Wilson would be a good get.

Allow the kids to grow

I saw Montreal got Arber Xhekaj's brother in the 4th. Their fans were calling it a reach

Well friends, we walked out with 4 defensemen, a goalie, and homerun-swing forwards.

Can't complain about the choices.

I don't think you will have a problem. I already told Mike to put my Deposit Down for my 2. 100 bucks for Now. I don't even know if I am gonna keep them Boss. I have a opportunity to take my Buddies Father's seat in one of the Boxes. Just keeping my Name in the System for my Son Basically. Time comes I could always sell them.

7th was a fine round for Luke.

Sabres picked the same position with the German kid.

Agreed. My drafting strategy for the 7th round would be to pick the funniest name possible. 7ths are less than a craps shoot anyway

Players weighing 200 or more:

Forwards:

Girgs
Greenway
Okposo
Thompson
Tuch

D:

Bush-can
Power
Samuelsson
Dahlin

1 forward has the dog in him - Tuch

1 - dman has the dog in him - Dahlin - Samuelsson uses his size but doesn't play with snarl

The Sabres roster is still composed of soft style players with minimal support to get into the rough stuff.

You forgot Joker, which makes it 10/18 skaters. So most of them.

You are wrong, but I gotta ask, what do 'old fashioned hockey' people like yourself expect the team to do about this? If the entire team is soft, should they blow it up and start over? Because you could add the grittiest, meanest dude and he is 1 out of the five guys on the ice for 17 minutes, and not there at all for the rest of the game. It changes nothing. Tuch, Thompson, Skinner, and Cozens are your horses you have to ride with. You either win with your big guns or you lose.

The core is set. If you don't like the players, fine. But there is nothing the team can do other than rebuild.

Yeah, if they play for you, you want them on your team for like 2 years then you want them the (frank) out.

Yeah, I hear you. It's about the next generation 👍

I really only enjoy half a season. I've been killing the resale with the 3 seats on the 16 yard line.

Just hope I get comparable seats or close in the new stadium. I'm guessing theres gonna be some in house shenanigans. Ticket resale is a full blown business and a new stadium (smaller) is gonna have everyone bonkers about checking it out. Including preseason games IMO

for the love of christ can we please get some real trades soon.

Islanders agree and just drafted Dennis Good Bogg

The sabres list him as 200, but I am sure you know better.

Depends where you look. and its 5 pounds my gosh. 200 on DB. 201 on Eliteprospects.

He must have been a redraft. I remember he was available last year as well when I did my elite name draft - unless there is a whole Good Bogg family lineage

Not drafting Dennis Good Bogg was a massive miss by Buffalo
