He like many (myself included) has been trying to find the answers at the bottom of the bottle.

They’re not found there but looking in the mirror is the 1st step to finding them.

IMO it's a slippery slope because you want to check on the person, but not over check

I have a close friend that is dealing with depression

between his injuries from the war, the distance from his kids and lack of desire to get in a serious relationship, it takes a toll on him


literally no clue from day to day what his state of mind is


I find sending him funny memes help

Sometimes that's the best thing you can do, make someone laugh. After I got out, for about 10yrs I tried to drink my memories and things I saw away, just made it worse. Thank God for my kids, they changed my life.

Puts them in a situation were they have a roster of 22, are only $674,105 over the cap, grab an extra first, and move a goalie they need to move.

They can make a much smaller trade to get under the cap at that point. Just floating it out there in the ether.

Not sure I get the logic though.
Leaves LV a goalie short, they take on a $6m F while giving up a 1st...to save $1m?

Edit: read the 1st Draft Pick wrong.

The assistant to the regional rink manager, great salesmen, still hasn’t managed to sell someone a RD or grab any goaltending help whatsoever.

Thank god for Krueger so far

I'd be surprised if they make trades before the Arb contracts are done.

That said, the longer they go without making one the more difficult it becomes to do so.
We saw it last year, even though many on here said there was plenty of time between July and Trzining Camp to do so...well, there was time, just no one willing to make a trade as rosters had been virtually be locked in by early/mid July.

Could this year be different? I suppose so, but doubt it.

Btw I just googled how much trademarking a name is.

Just guess ......


According to google between 275 -375 dollars. Del should’ve been smart enough to get the trademark.

I know that is bad to say. But for that price. It’s worth it all those years ago

- Sabretooth9


No. He can’t trade mark “Bills Mafia”, because there is already a term in there that is trade marked “Bills”. That is the reason that only the Bills organization can trade mark that phrase.

This doesn't make sense for either team. If I am giving someone a first it is to take Okposo's cap hit. Maybe Okposo straight up for Fleury, but even that I don't love. I have no faith that Fleury isn't a bad goalie. At least Okposo have value on the 4th line. I certainly wouldn't include a first.

There's still time, other teams could be waiting for there hearings. Still teams that need Dman. But you could be right.

They have Dansk on a elc. He looked good in his brief work.

Idk, do some swap with the sabres with fleury and okposo, then go move McNabb for a pick.

Theyre under rhe cap

Fleury is a better goalie than okposo is on any line.

Not to mention 2 years of fleury or 3 years of okposo

Fleury's numbers were worse than Ullmark's and better than Hutton's. He was mediocre and I don't see that changing. There is already talk that the season is going to be compressed and that teams will end up playing the backups more. Okposo is what he is - a decent 4th liner. Fleury could kill you as a backup and then you'd be forced to buy him out or send him down for little savings. Too big of a risk. I certainly wouldn't send anything back to them of value.

I could go out onto the street and get someone with that number. Vegas knew it too - that's why they went out and got someone better (who put up much better numbers in front of the same team). That was .08 less than his career average. Old goalies don't get good again.
