bold, yes, and half of them play RD. I don't know how many times they've talked about how they don't give a poop how they're labeled (RD/LD) and care more about if they're suited to play there.

Dahlin has better metrics on the right side, for example. Power can play right as well.

Them not giving a poop doesn't mean they're right.

I mean ok but that's a shift of the discussion. Being right or wrong is completely subjective. Being able to not only identify the ability to play offhand, but to succeed (subjectively) at it as well is something they've done with not just Dahlin.

Gotta be able to skate to play your Offside, Dahlin can and that's why Johnson is good at it. Bryam is blah unfortunately. They need a pure RD to finish there Top 4 IMO

I get it, we want the pieces to look right. But these guys, hockey players in general and even other sports, sometimes these guys can evolve.

Tage becomes a center. Dahlin becomes an RD. Girgensons becomes an all star.

They don't need to be pigeon holed into a role simply because their label from the previous season says so.

I do also agree that this team needs an RD, a guy who can play the right side well and compliment guys like Power or Byram well. That's where Ventura really earns his money.

This year is the year that the Sabres raise the bar on UFA signings. Clifton and Anderson are at the top of the success list so far. Tying that to a little Elon rocket and launching it into the atmosphere.

That's on everyone.

Ventura and his staff can make recommendations, but the GM and others need to listen.

Extending that to top 11 picks this time?
- kingcong39


Not in this draft I don't think. I won't assume unless one of a few possible guys fall in our laps.

Draft Yakemchuk and sign Matt Roy for 3 years until he's ready?

LOL, I get it. Was more musing to myself if anything.

Btw, are you in the draft or trade group? I know it's gotta depend who's there, but let's say it's Yakemchuk, Eiserman or Greentree...what's your move?

Draft, unless it's a no-brainer trade return.

I'd be looking to trade any of the redundant forward prospects already in the system, whether AHL or other non-NHL leagues.

Scottie is getting paid by the fine taxpayers on this one


WAVE reports the World No 1 golfer is facing the following charges following this arrest:
•2nd-deg assault of a police officer
•3rd-deg criminal mischief
•Reckless driving
•Disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic

In my head, I'm imagining a conversation similar to "I'm Ko Simpson. I'm worth millions!"

the rangers were also the better team on special teams

Rangers powerplay could take them far, along with shesterkin playing as he is able to.

The incident report of breaking the detective 80 dollar pants was kind of funny.

It’s a PGA Championship. I’m sure there are a million high powered lawyers who would gladly work this case

Is it the big Table, or does Adams sit at the Children's Table

He's Scottie Scheffler. I'm sure he already has one.
