Lot of interesting players to follow but going to be watching Novikov especially.

- Hank Balling

Novikov has been very impressive, I like him a lot.

Yes you do. Clearly you don’t understand being an NHL GM.

Matthew’s also not on the bench for the 3rd.

So when Diggs as a Viking tweeted about change a few years ago. Beane calling the Viking to trade for diggs. He should never have checked on the disgruntled player and should have never made a call?

He ate Bad sushi, apparently, he’s been sick recently. I didn’t notice if anything happened to him in the first 2 periods tonight.

Welcome to the Bills, Keaton Bills!

#136 ranked prospect by USA Today.

Not only does the name fit, but Beane doing good work this weekend.

What are you giving up for Matthews?

Does Kulich, Peterka, 2024 first get it done? Cozens as well?

He did, yes.

Speaking of running backs...this is an amazing story of Ray Davis, our 4th round pick.

I literally just said this to you. I honestly think this might be the dumbest topic ever approached on here, and someone last week (gee I forget who?) suggested we trade for Crosby.

I genuinely feel bad for you for what you said in this post.

You just compared Stefon Diggs, a football player who hasn’t set a single record, to the best American born goal scorer in NHL history who has shattered previous goal scoring records by American born players.

What is it like to be so unintelligent? Serious answers only.

The entire Toronto organization would show up at your house and laugh in your face, then walk you to the falls and coax you off.

Are you kidding me? This has to be a troll.

You honestly believe they would trade Matthews? To Buffalo? For a bunch of table scraps?

I just cannot believe this isn’t a troll.

Oh my god I actually forgot how to think right now this is so beyond dumb.

Since you’re such a comedian you might enjoy this

I personally think it’s the least funny thing I have ever seen, but you’ll probably enjoy it.

I was told that Reeves makes the leafs tougher and makes them win games
- Sabretooth9

He was an over reaction to the series vs FL last season.
The Leafs main problem isn’t Reaves, it is that their big dogs turn into little puppies in the playoffs.

The laffs are evidence (for years now) that talent does not trump all.

That building and rewarding the “core” before they have accomplished anything approach has failed for every GM that has used it.

The Sabres are a less talented version of the Laffs. With even more focus on talent.

Talent willing to work hard trumps all. Toronto's other problem is that it is top-heavy in terms of salary. If you put your eggs in one basket, that basket better produce.

Joe Pavelski, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Matt Duchene, Chris Tanev and Ryan Suter might have a little to do with the comment above about a younger player not wilting under pressure. The Stars have 6 high quality veteran players with past degrees of success to provide support for the Stars young players. How many do the Sabres have...?

>>> Hmm, 20-years-old. Never saw him fold under pressure this season, and he's a young player

↘️ Quoting NHL Public Relations (@PR_NHL)

Wyatt Johnston is the overtime hero as he helped his club cut their series deficit to 2-1.

Johnston became the fourth-youngest player in @DallasStars / North Stars history to record a multi-goal game in the #Stars
