Disagree. Hard disagree. You know the old saying "don't shit where you live".

If you guys need me, I'll be at Timmy's.

"Don't shit where you eat."

Of course you can shit in your own home!! All the time you've wasted on travel to and from other people's residences!

Granted, though, that you've saved a ton of money on cleaning.

I’m not really buying into any of Buffalo, Detroit, Ottawa yet. We’ve heard the hype for a while now, show us.

None of them look that impressive on paper either.

Buffalo has a good set of top 6 forwards, but just good and then junk in the bottom 6. On the blueline it's a similar story with a good top 3 (but just good) and then garbo. It net they're grim, grim looking. Call me when they get a goalie and Jeff Skinner isn't their 2nd best forward.

Ottawa maybe looked like they were going to have a nice group on paper but then ~80 goals a year worth of forwards went missing from the plan without being replaced. The blueline is probably going to be really good, but I don't think Jake Sanderson is an 8 million dollar defender quite yet and they'll have to pay Chychrun by the time that happens. You really going to spend ~24 million on your top 3 with none of them being a clear cut #1, or even having a clear cut matchup guy?

Detroit has the worst collection of talent of the 3 but is run by the most competent executive. Stevie will probably get them good while Larkin is still in something resembling his prime, but it's not for another year or two at least.
 
If the sabres are actually good, JB is gonna run a train on every person here.

This is partially why I have refused to opine on the buffalo sabres. JB has nothing to lose because it's a wild take that's most likely to be wrong. But if he's right? Fuck me. He would grow a whole head of hair even without the plugs.

What if Vegas is bad all of a sudden?

Meh.

Same guy has basically been predicting that Vegas was going to lose every game they play and implode into a gravitational singularity, after predicting Vegas was a terrible hockey market and the franchise would fail there.

Super duper hard meh on the "omg Buffalo got 97 points this year!" dunk attempts
 
Detroit doesn't look like much.

Buffalo and Ottawa both look like they have the potential to be legit elite offensively but they have yet to show they can be that while playing anything remotely well defensively.

and losing Norris would be killer for Ottawa. That 1-2 punch at C had the potential to be a big advantage for them.
 
I mean he was a 40/90 guy as a 20yr old C. it's pretty good.

Much more exciting than celebrating a 26yr old breakout like Tage Thompson imo.
 
Yeah Stutzle is going to be a stud if he's not already. Top 5 centre, franchise player type stuff.
