@slowdangles23@CarsonHayek@CrossSwordsPod "Pocklington needed money as his other business ventures were not doing well. After the details of the trade were finalized by the two owners, one final condition had to be met: Gretzky had to call Pocklington and formally request the trade himself."
@slowdangles23@CarsonHayek@CrossSwordsPod I remember hearing the same thing when the Sabres traded for Ryan O'Reilly. He was then traded again to STL and won the Conn Smythe, Selke and Cup. It's a nothing argument
@SportsCenter Gary Bettman saved the Sabres when the Rigas family was in bankruptcy and there were opportunities to relocate the franchise. I may disagree with the man but I will never boo him
@HockeySeanie@quicksi83353114@JFreshHockey I'm a sabres fan and the idea that Byram plays no defense is way overblown. He's plenty capable defensively. Not elite, but fine
