These guys get off on misery
- Boss34

Seriously we are 1 point out of the last Wild Card spot and so is half the Conference on either side

I really rarely come here and dont have the energy at my age to back read.

Mark my words. McDavid ends up in Boston. Big Market, East Coast, Historic franchise desperate for a 'face', TV eyeballs.

You heard it hear first. Thats gonna SUUUUUUCCKKK
- Blockhead

McDavid will be too old, the Sabres are younger and better, Boston won't be able to handle losing Krejic and Bergeron.

Radko Gudas got 3 years, 4M per. We can talk about how we wanted him, but were you comfortable paying 4.5M x 3 to get him here? This is a yes or no, not a comparable to Clifton or EJ.

Too old? Hes 26?? Im talking by the beginning of next year, not as a UFA.

The entire Boston team died of old age this summer didn’t you hear?

Who is Boston trading to get the best player in the NHL then?

By next year the Sabres will be a year older and even better.

The Bruins will be too old though as another year makes them even older, so even if he does go there, at his age and that roster...they don't stand a chance.

- Theguywiththething

Younger and better? On what (frank)ing planet are you living where Boston is worse than Buffalo?

I can see McJesus coming here though. Close to Toronto and he was crying because he was drafted to Edmonton.

One guy gets the Cup Champs the other get the Arizona's. But go off.
- DirtyDan

They've alternated games all season.

Dostal was better last season as well. This isn't a surprise.

Its McDavid right?? So McAvoy, one of the goalies, their top 2 prospects (Lohrei) and 2 first rounders??

- Lunaion

They were seperated by .002 last year in save % and Gibson played 40 more games.

This year 1 guys been getting the top teams in the league and the other isn't. Typically you play your better(more reliable) goalie against the greater competition.

Dostal is good but still young and this is why he play Arizona and Gibson plays and beats the cup champs.

Mcavoy Pasternak and Swayman is a start. I think they would still need to add.

You dont get the best offensive player ever and not give your best offensive player the other way.

You clearly don't understand how aging works.

- DirtyDan

Pasternak is the one guy I think WONT go in the trade. Everyone else is up for grabs

Because of the TV implications, this is a trade the league itself would get involved in.

"Edmonton doesnt get Pasta because we need to add as many eyeballs as possible after McD gets to Boston."

How they handle Leon will dictate McDavid's future, IMO. They loooooooose a lot of leverage if Leon doesn't resign.

That's clearly not what they are doing.

Why is Edmonton trading McDavid?

Sounds like they just need some stable leadership

You can see it in his behavior the last two weeks. Hes had it.

Theyve been trying to get "good leadership" for 5 years.

i wouldnt be surprised if hes already told them this is it for him (ala Eichel)

That's clearly not what they are doing.
- Lunaion

Looking at the game log for Gibson and Dostal so far this season, it seems like that is what Anaheim is doing.

The even numbered games.

Rock'Em Sabres

Vancouver was horrendous last season.

Demko had too lengthy of a track record of being good to let one bad team season bother me.

It's also too easy, and foolish to just throw your hands up and say stupid poop like goalies are voodoo.

Lazy stuff.
- kingcong39

vancouver is also getting similarly outplayed at 5v5 this season as they were last season but demko has a 940 save percentage lol
