Watched one game of hockey was really boring without a crowd lost interest

Leafs will have an advantage. They are used to playing in a morgue like atmosphere even when 17,000 people fill the seats

The atmosphere at Sabres games isn’t much better (unless we are good)

Unless Clowney could be had for pennies, he's not coming here. Beane wants to roll over as much cap as he can because of he Covidcap. Now we get a nice 5M cushion into next season with Star gone for the year.

Good post

I think the Bill's are set at defensive end.

Espenza/ murphy
Hughes / addison

Why overload the position?

Ok, let me get on my lap top and try and upload any photo first. Just so I know for sure that I can complete my end of the deal. (If necessary)

Then, we file our agreement/ wager with fitz? 🙂

Hank and Fitz are both still here. You might want to find someone more reliable. Like Darcy's fax

See above. Your bias is setting precedence over the football decisions the team made.

Football teams don't cut players they want to keep over players they don't want. It's not a thing, ever. Ever.

There was a write up that Coleman was going to re-sign immediately and the IR swap was premeditated. Duke Williams was a fringe receiver that for some reason people have this big hard on for. He's a big target and he's slow and has decent hands. Great.

You gotta also realize that there's only a certain number of spots for each position as well. Every single year, players are cut because of depth. Even if a cut player is physically more talented than a player that stays. This is extremely common.

Not a duke Williams fan?

Seems anti - buffalo Bill's.

Without the nhl farm system in the nfl, seems like a difficult sport to groom prospects.

I love his upside.

I trust fitz. Argumentative, but seems fully capable of a hockeybuzz "front office" position.

Keeper of wager 🤔

- Buff36

dawkins is interesting

his is solid, but not on that upper level tier of tackles

I think Milano needs to be a better tackler to be a long term fixture of our D

Dawkins was ranked in the 10-15 range I believe for tackles, unless we draft 1 there isn't a replacement on the roster unless one of the UDFA comes out of nowhere. Milano is the one I think gets let go, depending on how Joseph comes back

Games were better to watch than expected. Sounded like the arenas and or tv broadcasts had some fake crowd noise pumped in. I think they need to just to drown the f-bombs out.

To me it compared to watching a good world jr game being played in a country where it wasn’t convenient for the two countries fans to be present. Like Sweden vs Finland played on the west coast of Canada.

Definitely, I would 😀

Mcbeane brought murphy in early on in the rebuild for big $, I think they really like him.

His contract is cuttable for sure

Milano is gonna probably get overpaid - somewhere else.

Love the guy, but could be a product of our talent and system on defense.

Bad Tackling is worrisome, considering that can cost us some games.....

Don't forget about Tre White, his contract will be much bigger than Milano and Dawkins

Whenever we think about how bad Murray, Botterill or Darcy are, justr remember that Anaheim gave Vegas Shea Theodore, who's probably a top 15-20 D man, so they wouldn't take Sami Vatanen, who's now on his 3rd team in 2 years

The moral of the story based on how the Vegas draft went seems to be to choose the players you protect wisely and just let Seattle take who they want without negotiating another option.

You know what I remembered yesterday? We gave up a 3rd to hire Disco Dan

I wonder if that pick became anything. Too lazy to look
