A lot is packed into your comment because I don't know that anyone's job is on the line. President Terry doesn't seem to care a-tall.

But regardless of any outcome, I would still get a real goalie in here.

More than that, get two defensemen though

- Hank Balling


KA might not take the fall this year, but I think next season is his last chance.

No clue what he does. This team is constucted to return next year with almost no change. Almost no budget to do anything.

As he should be

Just not at me lol we are undoubtedly on the same side of things. Maybe he doesn't actually read my comments over the past year where I've been screaming for adams to do anything to help the nhl roster

Not mad at you

Just sick of hearing so many repeat how great these contracts are when they are some of the absolute worst in the NHL.

Dahlin at $11m is a joke. He isn’t even a top-5 defenseman and to call him top-10 right now is a reach.

Power at $8m when he has done literally nothing to justify it. Literally nothing.

Thompson at $7 for one season where he was a 60-point player - and no one expected 45/45/90 from him then and I don’t again.

Cozens at $7m for one 60-point season.

Samuelsson at $4m to be constantly injured and suck.

Jost, Bryson and Comrie all over $1m just to be waived because they suck.

Okposo, Girgensons extended despite neither producing at a pace to justify it, or bringing a winning mentality or anything other than not being a defensive black hole like:

Olofsson at $4.5 to be scratched and suck but sometimes he scores a few goals?

Clifton at $3.3 to blow chunks?

Which contract is an actual value?

They've needed a real, established goalie for 2.5 years and they settled on a very old - but still acceptable - Craig Anderson who could only play 30 games a year.

GM Vibe King never addressed this properly and if given a chance, he likely won't again this offseason. They're (frank)ing up Levi's development and I still don't think UPL is the solution, with all due respect to Luukkonen.

Next year they'll put Levi in the minors and sign some poopty American goalie who once practiced with the 2006 Hurricanes as a 10 year old and then met Don Granato at a skate and shoot

Well, yeah, I should've added "with a competent hand on the tiller"

If the seasons ends with Levi .889 3.32 and UPL .899 3.01, what do you do? Can you really run that back, knowing your job is on the line?

would those numbers be better if power and dahlin played like first overall picks in their own end though?
- homiedclown

What if they played like a 1st overall in any way shape or form? Because Dahlin did for a 25-game stretch last year and Power never has.

My Rant of The Day!
Keep seeing how trying to Learn a system may hay hampered Offensive Production. Well it's not Learn, it's put in the work to do it. We are talking about professional Hockey players, supposed to be the Best of the Best. These guys have all played in various systems throughout getting to the NHL. It's the Conviction and Heart even though I was drafted as a Scorer to adapt and play that system to the Best of my abilities. Coaching should have these guys ready to play, but so should the Leadership in that Lockerroom. Can tell you I tried to learn as much as I could from the players that new what it took and had already Won, not the ones who where just there.

A mason de-gloved his pinky today core drilling into a concrete block wall. The bone went with it, along with his tendon all the way up to his elbow. I’ve seen a lot of injuries, that was the grossest I’ve ever witnessed….still not as bad as watching this Sabres team.

I had 2’ steel drill-bit with a finger in a twisted shredded glove wrapped around it, in the front seat of an Uber when I took him to the hospital (quicker than an ambulance- 5 minute drive to mount Sinai) they are going to to put it back on.

Absolutely wild experience

Was he screaming or what?? I would be moaning and vomiting all over the Uber.

Have you unlocked all of the stances in Jedi Survivor yet? I went dual wield sabers and double bladed for my two stances. Couldn't get the hang of the pistol and saber

I have just gotten the Mantis repaired and only have single, double and dual-wield.

I personally prefer single, but I shred with the double-blade… And I want to like dual-wield and I try to but it has no range and I can’t do it lol

Put an NHL coaching staff behind the bench and all of those guys would be back to being absolute bargains.

Some still are right now
