Anyone else feeling alright right now about our position going into the season? The met doesn't look all that scary, our boys are healthy and we've got some new firepower. For the first time ever I'm excited to see Lombardi and others duke it out for spots in preseason. Excited for Daws and Allen to become a star duo and for Luke to take his game to the next level.

Expectations have been high for us in years past but I feel like we will thrive with more reasonable expectations.

I also have a tingly good feeling about Quinn. Sunny left an open seat for him and I'm not buying the Quinn owes Billy G narrative at all. I think we might get him this summer. I think we will.

Trying to play out scenarios and signing with us seems to be the only logical decision aside from the 3 year deal everyone is talking about.

Trade Quinn to another team that's not the devils? Too risky for the other team at year end

Wait until the trade deadline to trade him? Less leverage than now

So I feel like we've got a really good chance.

Anyone else with me on this enthusiasm?

It seems the Ducks are in a pickle with Cutter stand off? Which one would be the best option for us if possible?

2. Alexander Command, C

June 16, 2008 | 6-foot-1 | 186 pounds | Shoots left

Drafted: No. 12 in 2026
Tier: Middle of the lineup player

Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: Above NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Analysis: Command is a two-way center who ticks a lot of boxes. He’s a strong skater with quality offensive skills. He can make creative plays with the puck, but he does so in a direct manner to the net. He also has a great shot that is a threat from mid-range. He’s average-sized, but quite physical and wins a lot of puck battles. He has the traits to be a middle-six center.

Chico eats.

Wife and I decided to do a trip to the Sabres game on 12/26. We're thinking of doing Amtrak up on 12/26, stay in Buffalo over night, and Amtrak back to Newark Penn on 12/27 for the Bruins game. Anyone else interested in doing the Amtrak back-to-back?
