ok boomer "back in the 40's we wanted to pick up Olli from the airport!" All the craze these days is with Sabres mega-legend, Nick Bjestud

Bjestud is life. Bjestud is love.

These things take time, it isn't uncommon for talks around the TDL to come to fruition in the Off-season or even the next offseason according to Jason Botteril.

While we all want a hockey trade, it is more common for those to occur in the off-season when teams have more CapSapce to manuever in.

So, I can see EJ going and maybe Bryson. That is about it.
Coming back is mid-late round picks like a 5th or 6th.

31 teams underachieve every year. We're just the best at it.

Future leader of the team buying into bullpoop excuses offered by the coach and management. This is the result of the organization's nonexistent standards

"
We're a young team and there's a lot of new expectations coming into the team; the way to handle ourselves in new situations, and the way other teams are playing against us, we're more respected coming into this year.

It was new challenges for us and we had to learn them, so it's been a really good learning curve for us. Some new challenges for sure."


More respected?

Is it he's actually there best prospect or he just had a fabulous WJC so he goes to the Top. Still has to come over here and prove it.

It's the above.

Recency bias, mixed with virtually nobody giving a poop about Wenatchee.

1) ej
2) zem g
3) captain Kyle
4) wild card prospect like Ostlund or Rosen

Maybe we get a young veteran defender to put in the bottom 4 mix.

The best prospects play the best at worlds isn't a crazy idea.
