A new thread to discuss all things about the beautiful game.

I'll start with:

Some things never change. Beckham will not be bending it in the next LA Galaxy match. He has been suspended for "provocative behavior", which earned him a yellow card. That warning put him over the magic number and was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

EDIT: Below is a link to the story.

Sounds like Carter Hutton will in fact be joining the Buffalo #Sabres. Best opportunity for him. Had a lot of interest. More info to come Sunday  #stlblues

He's a Fox Sports reporter

I think a lot of the answer to this will make or break the RoR for a lot of posters. So, what do you think Botterill's plan is for these picks?

Botterill now is on record; he prefers non-CHL players because he can control their rights for a longer period of time.

The Athletic Managing Editor James Mirtle confirmed this past weekend that the website will be expanding its coverage to having beat writer cover the Sabres next season. The Athletic proves alternative coverage on a National Level and a Local Level as well. They have hired many writers from National Outlets such as SI, ESPN and Fox Sports. In addition they have hired local writers usually from the area’s newspapers such as Arthur Staple and Mike Russo.

Mirtle also asked what writers fans would like to see covering the team for the site.

From 31 Thoughts Podcast Elliott Friedman

I’ll tell you something, I’ve got to say this: I think the trade offers are going to be really interesting,” predicted Friedman while answering a listener question in the Ask 31 section of the podcast. “Buffalo is not trading their pick; but I think that even from 2 on down, I think there’s going to be offers. I don’t see Carolina trading their pick either. I think it’s more likely they keep the player.

“But I do think Montreal is going to get tempted... Читать дальше...

Alright, show your cards.

Who wants Botts dead? If you do, I would guess it's because of the ROR trade.

Have at it in this thread.

About to be announced?

And so we start again

March 2018- Tage Thompson sits in an interesting position in his first season as a pro. That being incredibly effective in the AHL(18 points in 30 games) while not so much at the NHL level just yet. Having put up eight points in 34 games for the Blues, Thompson is just now starting to use his bigger frame to bring results. Being 6’5″ and over 200 pounds the 2016 first round pick will be a force once he realizes how simplify his game a bit. Thompson can control the puck with ease, his only struggle... Читать дальше...

I know it's way too soon, but the 2018-2019 line up is going to be challenging CAP-wise.  I know a lot can happen, but the team is at $64 mil this year.  I figure Jack gets $10 mil and Sam gets retiring Georges money (3.9mil).  That leaves them at $74 million (if the team signs all others at their 2018 levels, including Kane).  If Beaulieu gets $1.5 and Girgs get $1mil this year and next, you can see it gets tight.  The places to get relief are buyouts of Moulson, Pominville, and Bogo.  Also goalie...

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

About to be announced?

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

per Sabres app

I think Jbot and the Sabres are having a good off-season so far. I’m including the late season prospect signings in my analysis/opinion.

Quality NHL players added.
1) Mittelstadt - made a great late season debut 5pts in 6 games - MVP of Development Camp 3 on 3 Tourney. Looks like a 3C or 1/2 line W
2) Dahlin - we won the lottery and got the best D prospect since Potvin. Enough said.
3) Sheary - Jbot got a player he loves from his former organization for basically nothing.
4) Hutton - Lehner out. Читать дальше...

The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has acquired defenseman Brandon Hickey from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for forward Hudson Fasching.
