If Botts can pull off at least a small vet clearing trade before the start of the season like DLo last year I'll be pleased.

Is there a video of this anywhere?

It would mean that we are tanking. Nylander has to be up with the team at the start of the season.

Botts also loses all credibility with his "guys can earn jobs" mantra. If Nylander flops he flops, but for the integrity of the organization he should be in the starting lineup for the start of the season, he's earned it.

If Nylander gets sent down that would be extremely disheartening, especially in favour of someone like Pominville.

By all accounts Pominville still has his NMC, so he's not going anywhere near Rochester.

We traded ROR for lesser pieces, kept the high school hockey coach, and failed to buy out Pominville. Sending Nylander to Rochester ranks well below all those in any tank narrative that may emerge over the coming months.

Housley has to earn credibility before he can lose it.

Not to be a turd, or say that it would have changed the season in a big way. But on a team that had zero depth and brought in a non fighting Nolan, DLo would have been useful last year, so I’m not sure in retrospect that is really a good trade to be remembered fondly.

Haven't found anything which would be a shame if it was as epic as

Really comes off as a coaching and gm decision to limit important injuries from occurring before the opener as much as possible, rather than individuals having serious injuries to worry about.

I actually applaud that. 7 preseason games is too many.

Agreed.

I'm sure that Bogo will get hurt at some point, but I doubt it's anything right now. Glad they are being precautionary in the preseason.

 

[Gabrielor]

They have to sit 2 forwards and 1 d tomorrow on top of the others.

I hope it’s dahlin Skinner and Reinhart. Take no chances with guys who already made it.

I have bailed on Ottawa, can't take more of their incompetence and dumb-assery.

Am I welcome in this forum? I like Buffalo's future and there are many exciting players both on the big team, and among prospects.

Welcome friend.

Do remember though, we were Ottawa last year .

Bufflo doesn't have an owner who actively tries to destroy the franchise.

So long as you disavow Chris Neil.

Is it enough that I disavow Alex Daigle?

No.

Chris Neil is what defines your credentials here! Yay or Nay?

Welcome friend. I hope you enjoy heartbreak.

A few things/primer:

1.) It was no goal.
2.) You must forget the slug ever existed
3.) You must double your hate for Toronto.

Would've been nice to get some more chemistry going with the guys on the main roster in game-like situations instead of relying on practice. And not just guys who will be linemates (because what would happen if/when we have injuries?)

No.

Okay, I conceed!

Neil is a piece of shit!

I think we’re going to need a senate hearing to decide whether or not you’re being genuine with your statement before we can move forward.

Lol, welcome.

That little winky guy he tacked on to the end there makes me think he still has an affinity for the pig-faced cretin.

Are you still "nursing" your grief?
