It's "Moran", moron.

Can we call the Bryson, Okposo, Omark the "Boo" line? Cuz that's (frank)ing SCARY AF.

Yet here you are trying to force Tiger Woods into a 4th line role, when he's clearly a goalie.

Moran.

Friedman said Staal is playing.

Also that Buffalo is looking to upgrade the goalie tandem.

From Elliotte Friedman's 31 thoughts not even 30 minutes ago:

1. It was a smart move by Buffalo, although Staal, who is building a retirement home in Minnesota, was completely caught by surprise - and disappointed he found out when his phone blew up. (In case anyone was worried he wouldn't report, I'm told that's not happening - he's going to play.) The Sabres were not on his 10-team no-trade list, I think, because he didn't expect them to be a pursuer. Staal turned down multiple trade ideas in the past two seasons (Boston was one), all from contenders. Buffalo didn't fit the mold of teams eying him, but he's exactly what the Sabres need. A No. 2 centre and some support for Jack Eichel, who can't be thrilled with reports of a $70 million payroll. Buffalo is also investigating upgrading its goalie situation.

No thats not how it should work stop gifting spots If he makes the team he starts on the 3rd line .. There is no way he deserves a second line spot and VO Gets demoted because hes a 7th round pick lol this guy Would have been in the top 3 for rookie of the year if not injured

olofsson is not a good 2 way player

al kotalik jr


he's fine for pp

he's fine for a middle 6 winger


but he is not a guy you want playing 17 minutes a night 5 on 5 IMO


if casey is out of shape or not focused in camp, bury him

this is a country of second chances, and you clearly do not seem to want to give casey one

He absolutely deserves a shot to make the roster. While I don't think the kid is saying he doesn't deserve a shot.. he's proven nothing as of this very day. I hope like hell he shows he can play in the top 9. And I really hope his work ethic is top notch, otherwise the kid is sunk before day 1.

Interesting goalie wise. He could be playing off the Murray rumor from a couple weeks ago

Apparently Eric staalwaived his no movement clause to come here..

And rivers doesn't like small people he likes big ass guys that punch people in the face

He just built a multimillion dollar home in Minnesota so I don’t really believe anything other than that’s where he wanted to end his career

Vegas would have to retain salary and take Hutton as a return.

Not a huge fan but could do a lot worse

- Pegullaville

I think Hutton would luv the idea.

Maybe they are throwing their hat in the Kuemper ring.

Or Raanta for that matter.

Google where the staals are from.

Thunder Bay Ontario ......I google mapped it.

29 miles away. 45 minute drive

(Yes, I know the boarder is currently closed)

But technically if he has family and friends still in the area. They can easily come to every home game. (Pending fans being able to go to games)

Why not go after Price and if they hold onto 3 mill it only cost 7. If they throw in Domi the team would look a lot different. Trade Hutton to the Habs and he’d be back with Jake Allen.

He didn't waive.

Neither his original nor his revised list of 10 teams he would not accept a trade to had the Sabres on it.

He is surprised because he never thought the Sabres would trade for him.

I mean, aren't we all surprised as well?

Always wondered, how often do you get to create this list. I would guess once a year?

Wrong Thunder Bay, they are from up top of Lake Superior, not between Ft Erie and Crystal Beach.
