This is the most absurd Sabres tweet I've ever seen.

That's awesome

Considering this seems to happen nearly every year, Joker must be putting in the work during the off season and come off very well in practice.

Feels like every may/june, the general vibe is "eh, just trade him" and every October he starts out on the top pairing. There are plenty of very hardworking/skilled guys who simply don't have the aptitude to play big roles during a long season. Kind of feels like Joker has earned some playtime and leash and will likely lose it over the course of the season.

Jokers either with Dahlin or in the pressbox, he doesnt fit with Power and can't play his off. Power-Byram has looked decent so dont really want to break them up and we're not gonna play Dahlin-Clifton

For some reason I calculated our 19-20 rosters current cap hit: 87,4 million (not counting buyouts).
6 million more than our current roster even though many players has retired. Dahlin deal obviously a factor.

Peters was pushing for a Dahlin-Clifton pairing on the podcast. He also wants to trade Power still, not sure he’s a great hockey mind

Maybe this is a sign that The Times They Are A-Changin

It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why

Or maybe bob was singing about the playoff drought era here:

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

I read this as a backhanded diss because he was too busy performing something the Sabres failed to do on an any sort of level.

I actually like Joker on the 3rd pairing. He has been fine with Sammy and Johnson. Ruff just has to keep him away from Power and Byram.
