His "explanation" in June about acquiring Ben Bishop early so that Free Agents wouldn't take advantage of their need to get to the cap floor was comedic gold.

I'm trying to find the interview. The question was along the lines of "why make that move in June, and not wait until after free agency?".

Your probably right and just what you want to do against the Bruins... Give them more power plays

so no hope of getting an aging but still good NHL goalie?. I just looked again at our 3 headed goalie numbers and Commie's and UPL numbers would not cut it in a beer league.

If we Just had a competent goalie we could make the playoffs and shame on GMKA for not trying to get one. You have a shat ton of Cap room, Picks coming out of your A$$ and one of the best if not the best prospect pool in all of NHL.

I was at last nights game, the crowd was great, they want to win so bad... Cant say the same for management right now.

The blues have half their salary cap dedicated to defensemen.

But that is a fair point about the other teams you mentioned.

Funny!! Defense is hurting Buffalo on the Ice and in the Trade room. Buffalo doesn’t have the Defensive Depth or D prospects to make some of these trades. Drafting D is important for more than just filling your Prospect pool.

So I guess Quick did not have a No trade Clause in his contract. I mean Buffalo could not of been in on that? sign Quick for 2 years even if he is aging he is still a better option then what we have currently on our roster...

yes bottom pair is not good, but goalie is just as bad or worse. Both Commie and UPL's numbers are just down right horrible, I'm talking beer league numbers...You are not going to win giving up 3.58 & 3.60 GAA for 2 out of the three goalies we have.

I think it's $10 a game or $30/month if I'm reading it right.

Yup it’s pathetic. I can’t imagine what Sam ventura is thinking looking at our goalie analytics.

My favorite thing to read is “but UPL wins games”

Yeah no.
