Taking the 5 year 5 million per deal to coach the Isles Malkin and Lou are going to give him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa is the team that should move to Quebec City. Switching out one government town for another isn't great but at least the Nords had cool jerseys and wicked goonfests with Montreal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,904 Posted June 21, 2018 In the same way John Spano can be said to be the 3rd best Islanders owner ever by virtue of signing the ridiculous TV deal that has propped up the team ever since, Chiarelli can be said to be the second best GM in team history for basically giving them Barzal, Beauvilier and Eberle.

And the even better thing about that is teams are going to panic and give my Sabres the type of stupid offers for ROR that would be the only way I'd ever move him.

He spends his summers in BC. That's why he was in Seattle: he was waiting for his connecting flight to BC and Seattle is a JetWest hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oyaji 9,325 Posted June 22, 2018 NBA having the commissioner just get on with the selections is so much better than the awkward and unnecessarily long selections at the NHL draft. Sabres aren't allowed to suck now, right? If they fuck Dahlin's progression up, they should just shut it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 12,673 Posted June 22, 2018 I love having the two drafts happen so close together for humor comparison. Flashy colorful suits vs guy sitting in stand with mum and dad and hot sister or girlfriend. Thanking the city for hosting the draft. Etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phail Housley is still our coach so we can definitely still be terrible because with Dead Weight being fired he is the worst coach in the entire league. It's not an accident that we had one of the worst home records the league has seen in decades, he is completely unable to do matchups correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death From Above 4,312 Posted June 23, 2018 To be really blunt I've paid zero attention to jr hockey in the last year so I have nothing insightful to say about the draft tonight, but it seems like the Oilers did the correct thing so I can't ask for much more.
