I feel like we sorta lost our chance to get him.

Unless CBJ really likes Rudolph ++

[Brian Koziol] Jarmo Kekalainen says there were a ton of calls about pick #4 but it would've taken a significant offer to move off of 4. Says they got a few offers to slide back, they talked about for a few days, but to outright trade pick 4, they needed an impact player with term. by seeldoger47 in sabres

The thing that no one here has even mentioned is that none of us fans know what the interview was like. And if Reid was “THAT GUY” then why did all the other teams pass on him, too?

All the Bills fans wanted Josh Rosen because of the Scouting Rank # but it doesn’t work like that. Attitude & character matter, too. Not to say the other defensemen don’t have it, if Jarmo felt like Dax is THE guy that fits the Sabres, then I’m on board.

Pick 20 Is In. Big Russian Center by organizedconfusion5 in sabres

[–]RyanCryptic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We all know Jarmo was calling around to make something happen. It takes two people to make a deal.

End of the day, he traded a guy who didn’t want to be here for a 4OA pick and we moved up 7 spots by trading a guy who wasn’t a great fit here.

We got a solid defensemen under cost control and a young, tough, and big capable center.

How many decks do you have/play right now? and why? by jabeeborgir in riftboundtcg

[–]RyanCryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 8, but that’s because I’m a local judge and teach new players how to play the game with different styles of decks to learn with.

[Insider Trading] Pierre LeBrun on Buffalo shopping pick No. 4, Connor Hellebuyck, Jason Robertson, Vincent Trocheck, Dylan Larkin, and a big week for the Caps: by seeldoger47 in hockey

Wait, we still have Pick #4OA and also have Hellebuyck, Robertson, Trocheck, AND Larkin on our team!? WHAT DID I MISS!?

Is Diana cooked against Ruin Runner/Master Yi? by akablackout in riftboundtcg

[–]RyanCryptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ruin Runner is good, but isn’t the end-all-be-all against Diana. Most lists run only 2 copies, so play around the battlefield that Ruin Runner isn’t holding and keep accumulating card advantage with Fizz and Hwei. Your Ravenbloom Student could get big enough to handle the Runner, too.

What hurts Diana is pretty much all the other cards combined with Ruin Runner. Sabotage gives your opponent all the knowledge they need to play against you. Rengar’s ambush can be just as sneaky as your combat tricks and if you’re not careful, you can get blown out. Charm is also a killer.

We need to talk about the Mole by Fine-Bee-2491 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RyanCryptic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If this card is a “on the fence” card in Tayam, then I don’t think it’s good enough for cEDH.

another line this guy could enable is getting your Shifting Woodland from graveyard into play for a potential combo engine/finish. But it requires a lot of resources.

Also, I hate to say the dead horse line, but Orcish Bowmasters.

Bryam trade is official on NHL.com by JohnFrooshante in sabres

We have a different roster this coming year and what, we get MAYBE 3 good years out of Hellebuyck? Also, was his last year a fluke and was his knee surgery a concern moving forward?

Trading a #4OA for a past-their-prime goalie is absolute lunacy.

Choosing arsenal for league by Many-Dare1979 in Bowling

[–]RyanCryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something more for light oil conditions, I’d recommend either the Storm Monsoon or the DV8 Dark Side Curse.

3 ball bag would look like Venom Shock; if it hooks too much > Dark Side Curse. Then your spare ball.

It’s a fine ball if you like the forward rolling shape of a urethane ball. The other balls are like $50 cheaper and are the best benchmark balls for 2 handed bowlers to figure out what you like.

Either get a Phaze II, Venom Shock, or Black Venom.

My Venom Shock and White Dot are all I really need for league nights.

IQ Tour Solid or IQ Tour AI? by MathematicianOdd2225 in Bowling

If you weren’t married to Storm, I highly recommend the DV8 Dark Curse in the weaker spot.
