Sujet: Moving On
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You're selling cheap on those VAN, WPG and PHI trades. Yikes.</div></div>

I mean, it's Buffalo. The organization has to sell cheap! The players, the management, and the ownership has let their respective values tank! No one in their right mind would want to work for, let alone play for the Buffalo Sabres after everything that has since came out about that franchise. Just think about how basically the Florida Panthers gave up the same amount of assets for Sam Bennett as the Boston Bruins did for Taylor Hall AND Curtis Lazar, who was actually producing during the very bad times. I know that next season, it would practically be impossible for anyone to willing sign or be ready to commit to this team, so what I believe they need is "warm bodies", these would be your players such as Curtis Lazar when the season began, on the fringe of the NHL when they arrived, looking for an opportunity.

Sujet: Lafreniere Holtby Pietrangelo
Call me crazy, but in some sick and twisted world, I can actually see the Alex Pietrangelo signing happening. Because it has been reported that he would not want to play in Toronto, but he is still relatively close to home. It has also been reported that he wants a long term deal worth big bucks, rather than the cautious option in our current situation of one to three years at lower value. The only issue that I can really see with this is that Eugene Melnyk would not be willing to pay that kind of money, but who knows, he might do it to try and make himself look good, but then trade him not even a year later!

Edit: Also, I do not believe that Ottawa would win the draft lottery. They'll probably fall to five and six, and probably select a Drysdale, Perfetti, or Raymond.

Sujet: Are the pegula the new melnyk
I would not say that the Pegula family are the "new Eugene Melnyk" due to the fact of Melnyk not willing to spend money, shoddy business operations, controversy after controversy, and the pure hatred from hardcore fans. Most casual hockey fans that I know cannot name any owner in the league, except for Eugene. The Pegula family certainly are not perfect though. Their treatment of long tenured employees, incompetence recently, and impatience are certainly not great. The known acknowledgment of Jack Eichel's "requests" do not help their image either, but hey, tons of sports teams cater to their star players. I view the Pegula family as their own breed. I've always wondered why players HATE playing in Buffalo, and like Ryan O'Rielly, "lose their love for the game" and "do not want to play hockey anymore", and I'm assuming the Pegula family is why.
