NHL rumblings: Ken Holland’s new role, early trade market, tampering, CBA and more from GMs meeting
LeBrun from The Athletic:
Trade rumblings
• League sources say the Buffalo Sabres are among the busier teams phoning around sizing up the trade market. I asked Sabres GM Kevyn Adams about that Tuesday, and he said, “I believe in this group, but at the same time I am looking into every possible way to improve our roster.”
Said one rival team executive about the Sabres: “They’re looking to do something big if they can.”
Interesting. I wonder what they would be targeting. A second line center and/or wing? A goalie? A Samuelson replacement?
All of the positions I think could benefit from an upgrade are currently occupied by young talent some of which we have already made significant financial investments in. Don't know if that's consistent with a long-term view.
And who is our trade bait? Quinn?

They probably would. Jason seems like he would fit right in with Bills Mafia.
I was referring to this thread which was a silly one.

There is no way Schoen returns after watching Saquon explode with a division rival and Daniel Jones collapse after signing him to that contract. A new GM will want to choose his coach. Daboll is headed back to whichever college program is rehabbing failed NFL HCs or Cleveland.

I think it would more fun if Jason shows up. I could see him hanging out with Bills fans before the game drinking beers and doing shots.
Did Bills Mafia even invite Jason?

My car is ancient, low mileage, and will never die. I barely drive since moving to Houston. I arrived here with 22,000 miles on my 2012 Corolla and almost a decade later I'm still not at 50,000 miles. With car prices what they are and the fact that I barely need to drive (we take my wife's car whenever we are headed anywhere together) I cannot justify replacing it anytime soon unless it quits on me, which it won't because its a Toyota. I think I drive the crappiest car of any of my colleagues which is interesting when the kids I work with are buying Mercedes and BMWs and I make more than double what many of them will earn in a year.
I did drive a Tesla model 3 as a rental when I was back in Buffalo for the home opener. That was a fun ride. My wife wants a new car so badly that I am concerned hers is going to be met with a suspicious accident.

The Cover 1 guys know if they want more subscribers they gotta' wash balls. Also helps them possibly get more access from the team in the future. So they are going to focus on the positive. The key is doing that without alienating the more critical crowd by making nonsense excuses for failure.
But I heard Shill Carpaccio on WGR this am and the callers are really getting sick of his over-the-top ball washing. Some dude with a heavy Indian accent called in demanding over and over that Shill be honest before he answers his question. Then the next caller was disgusted by Shill's constant organizational apologizing. It was hilarious listening to him realizing that HIS particular audience is sick of being bullish!tted and talked down to while he endeavors to stay in the best grace's of the team above all else.
I normally agree with your takes, but today I am feeling attacked. Since when is basic hygiene such a bad thing?! Maybe its time I take my meager football knowledge, arsenal of phallic humor, and sparklingly clean testicles elsewhere?

The next two DT off the board were Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence
In hindsight, Wilkins was the obvious pick if only to protect Josh's genitals.

I feel like that's the opposite of the guy he replaced (Harty), who flashed better as a DB than returner. All things being equal I'd probably err on the side of DB depth but I get that return gaffes can cost games.
Been pleasantly surprised with Coddington's return game as well. Not a flat out burner but generally solid hands and shifty with some tackle breaking ability too.
Harty is a WR.

If Allen has any shot of supplanting Lamar as the MVP favorite, the Bills NEED to win this week, and Allen NEEDS to play great.
After last week's game, he's too far behind Lamar statistically & got blown out in the head to head. But to end the Chiefs' undefeated streak & beat them when the Ravens couldn't? That would carry a lot of weight.
Obviously, winning a SB is the priority, but the chances of doing that while losing to the best 3 AFC teams you've played isn't very good. That being said, if we lose, the Bills will be in a very weird position.
They'll still have the division locked up, yet have next to no chance of getting the 1 seed unless the Chiefs collapse. At that point, you don't have a ton to play for, so it might just be better to protect key players as much as possible while letting the injured ones heal up until playoff time.
The outcome of Sunday's game has almost no bearing on Buffalo's super bowl chances, win or lose. There will be nothing weird about their position in the event of a loss. 8-3 heading into the bye is a pretty good spot to be in. The narratives will of course be that Buffalo is a distant 3rd in the AFC after losing to Baltimore and KC but November narratives mean very little in January. Even with a win I don't think we are in a great spot for the 1 seed because KC's remaining schedule is much easier than ours.
Beating KC in the regular season hasn't meant anything in January the past few years.

This team has to prove its metal over their next 4 games. Enough said. I will not pass any judgement on them until this 4 game gauntlet is over. This is not the best team TBH that we can assemble for a SB run. Next year is the year that I was banking on. But we will see what happens in the next 5 weeks.

There is part of me that thinks of Coleman, Kincaid, and Cooper can’t go, treat this like a pre a season game. Come out of it healthy and put nothing on tape.Maybe not full preseason vanilla, but lets at least choose the silly game plan and save the real game plan and half-time adjusted game plan for the post season.

In my opinion, the fact that Bishop hasn't been getting snaps indicates his pre-snap processing is not where it needs to be yet. Getting that correct on the practice field is a precursor to getting more time in the games, and really, you don't need the games to work on that. Once he can correctly identify his responsibilities then he can get on the field more to take his game to the next level.
Lets not forget that Rapp is playing well this season. He basically won the Jets game for us. Playing behind Rapp as a rookie is not a failure in my opinion. I don't think either Rapp or Bishop is suited for the Hamlin role in this defense.

Which one is Samuelsson and which one is Jokiharu?
That was pretty good.
Joker is definitely the dramatic one with his headless chicken schtick. And Sammy got injured after his stint in the press box, so he's our soft. Tage and possibly UPL are also injured, if Ruff's presser is to be believed.

Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you so long ago.
Soft and dramatic. A winning combination.

Good for you, showing up minutes after a loss with your expert opinion based on that one period you half watched a few weeks ago.

The game they "should win" and they don't. Score 5 and give up 7. They will continue to get better though. I'm not giving up!
That was a bad loss.
Without UPL in net we are toast.

@Poleshifter is still around. I don't think Cripple coin has made him a millionaire yet so he's stuck with us.

Up and down performance today but they salvaged a blown 3rd period lead and got the W. Great start to the game, they dominated the Flames in the first. Penalties totally derailed their momentum in the 2nd period. 3rd period they were on their heels. UPL bailed them out big time. Penalty Kill was clutch, Power Play maintained momentum and they stole a W in a game they would have given away last season or even earlier in the year.
Two 3 game win streaks so far this year. It took until March for the team to register two 3 game streaks last season.

I’m talking the govt filing for bankruptcy. That is how trump runs his business. Steal steal steal and file. I worked with a guy who did this. He was in way over his head, drowning in debt. He knew he was going to file, what did he do first? Go out and buy expensive store equipment an engine hoist (I don’t think the idiot knew how to work on a car) furniture for his house. No intention of paying for any of it. That is stealing. That is trump, how he runs his business. That is all he knows. That is how he added 8 trillion to the debt his last term. America signed up for more of that lol.
Much of that $8 trillion was Covid related. CARES Act. I don't think that changes no matter who is in office. Add in TCJA and we can explain 75% of the increase in debt.
I won't complain too much about the TCJA because it did nice things for my portfolio and I stand to gain some more during Trump part 2. But we need to acknowledge that cutting taxes did not result in the supply side dream of capital expansion and job creation. Instead, what we saw was a federally subsidized corporate share buyback program after a 15 year bull run, no less. Hard to call that sound economic policy. While I enjoyed my 30% pop or whatever it was in the Covid run up, the richest Americans more than doubled their net worth. But its every man for himself so lets run it back!

I heard on WGR that Ruff was being patient with this group, but that patience has quickly run out. Better it happened now. I think waiting until now was the right thing. you have to have a decent sample size to back up your decisions/moves.
Players are in a new system, lots of new faces after free agency, new lines, new coach. Yes, you absolutely need to see a few games to make an assessment.
Bryson has maximized his opportunities the past few seasons. A lot of fans are down on him, but I think he's played well. I don't mind Gilbert at all. He's a steady stay at home Dman. I have not seen him running around like a headless chicken at all which was a staple of Jokiharju's game.

Best end of season scenario for Buffalo is being healthy and hitting their peak entering the post season. If they have most of their starters, and are playing to their potential on both sides of the ball, I like their chances against anyone in the AFC.
