Lou stands outside Noah Dobson’s house with a boom box. Noah bursts into tears, runs out the door and jumps into Lou’s arms.

Without Noah Dobson the Sabres go 0-82 and do not win the cup 😜😂

It's not.

1) Rookie LHD on top pair even if Power
2) Kadri at 1C is a big ask
3) TT at 2C and Mittelstadt at 3C
4) Allen not a #1G

Hmm so youd rather test UPL(rookie) as #1 goalie this season?

Most of these teams tell you to get lost. Why are you trading for Batherson? You realize he may get kicked out of the league, right? That’s also a big overpay for Kane, extension or not.

Pretty sure he’s not getting in trouble nor involved in the controversy tbh

All of you need to stop looking at this at a long term perspective but s 1 year simulation exercise. Obviously none of these moves would be made.

I can’t make sense of some of these moves. Why move out JJ Peterka and Comrie just to go and spend a second on Allen? Comrie had a much stronger season statistically and moving both he and Peterka just to replace them with Allen seems shortsighted. Not to mention the horrid value for some of these guys, particularly Bertuzzi. Though I’ll let the million accounts made by the same Red Wings fan freak out about that one tears of joy

Don’t worry about it. I went to school for communications so it was more uncommon for people to not see “the classics” lol.
