I’d say the started to last year (only missed the playoffs by one point), but this needs to be the year they actually are alive.

Their core is young but won’t be for long. if the goal is to contend during Dahlin and Tage’s contracts, there needs to be big improvements in the standings starting this year.

Not so much grow as maintain his current level of play. He was arguably a top five defenseman last year, which is what he’d need to be with this contract.

He’s elite offensively and has been, but last year he was also excellent defensively, too. If both keep up he should be a Norris nominee multiple times throughout this deal.

I’m a Sabres fan so I’m likely biased, but informed.

The Sabres saved a couple million each on their top 2 centers (Tage and Cozens at $7 mil AAV), so they can afford a couple extra million to ensure their best player is locked up long term through his prime.

The hope is that they will be contenders during the next seven years when their core is locked up, and they can just get the right complementary pieces with whatever cap is left.

The only question marks cap-wise will be Power and hopefully Levi. Otherwise all they’ll need to worry about are depth if they’re ever good again.

The highest elevation was Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton (~7,000 ft and ~2,000 meters I think). Highest mountain however would Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks (5,114 ft and 1,558 meters). Definitely my favorite mountain, it just looks like a huge slab of land. Lots of scrambling around the rocky peak with a great view of the surrounding mountains.

Without looking at other teams, that feels like a high turnover rate of captains. Averages out to a new captain every other year almost.

I’d love for a Game Master mode like in D:OS2.

I played around with it in a VM earlier today. I liked the overall feel of it quite a bit, even as someone who prefers not to use gnome. But there are quite a few inconsistencies in using the alpha compared to what’s in the handbook, particularly for installing new packages. I wonder if that’s something that’s still being implemented in Orchid.

I liked it though, I’ll definitely keep following it.

Reminds me of Rufus Scrimjore or however you spell the minister from Harry Potter.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing it is that every Sabres fan has memories of listening to RJ as a kid. That’s something truly special, Buffalo has been so lucky to listen to him all those years.

I’m glad he was able to enjoy a full year of retirement with his family, the man worked nearly his entire life. We’ll never see (or hear) another like him.
