In NHL terms, Sabres have never won the lottery. They've just retained their position twice.

Likely impacted by only being able to move up 10 spots, if they somehow won.

Conveniently in 11th last place ☝️

Starting a 42 year old and a guy who's 21.
And never played an nhl game....

Like our chances of maintaining the spot or moving up to 10. I believe it's a 3.5% chance of 1st?

That’s the glory of the hole.

It’s a large hole that allows for a long tongue some strong knees and Guam cheese

Just read an interesting question.

If Ovechkin cathes Gretzky will the league unretire 99 or retire 8? Neither?

13th by point %. No clue how they finish. Wouldn't be a shock if they play a little better once they are officially eliminated. Donnie's better without that pressure.

Also wouldn't be a shock if they shut some injured players down early.

Buffalo team. Eliminate Minnesota and we've got a new toy. My undergraduate alma mater. Let's go, Griffs!

It's true, unless you want to go all the way back to Gilbert and call that a lottery.

Interesting I said yesterday watch for Edwards signing. Could mean Morse is released and there is some of your money for Hopkins. With Edwards and McGovern, Bates can switch to C

Risking the bottom 10, if anything.

I'm liking the 3% chance of bedard.

Comfortable feeling, lottery day, feels like an annual event.

If we really want to make this happen, I think Girgensons should play goal for the last game of the season, similar to Kyle Williams scoring a rushing TD in his last game.

Longest tenure, good soldier. Very deserving imo

So Hopkins Simmons - Be a nice little haul, especially if Simmons stays healthy. He was pretty good 2yrs ago. Not that this is happening, just saying Beaner could kill 2 birds with 1 Oliver.

KPRC2's Aaron Wilson reports the trade market for DeAndre Hopkins is "headlined" by the Bills.
Wilson also named the Chiefs as an interested party, though with the caveat that the financial implications of taking on Hopkins' contract have tempered their pursuit. Per Wilson, the Ravens are not among the bidders. Hopkins struggled in 2021 and was slapped with a PED suspension to open the 2022 season. Instead of continuing on his downward trend, Hopkins rebounded with a 64/717/3 receiving line in nine games. He would immediately take over as the Bills' second receiver if they acquire him and his fantasy prospects would soar with Josh Allen as his quarterback.


Great, 2 cry babies him and Diggs.

I read this and just went down a youtube rabbit hole of Bernard Hopkins ring entrances. That guy was a brilliant fighter and a hell of an entertainer.
