EP 198: Joe Yerdon (The Athletic) Talks Sabres

Author: Blue Wire February 25, 2020 Duration: 1:16:30
On this episode of the future award-winning Moran-Alytics Podcast, Patrick Moran talks with Buffalo Sabres beat writer for The Athletic, Joe Yerdon about the moves the Sabres did and didn’t make on Monday’s NHL trade deadline and much more. The trade deadline passed with the Sabres making a pair of moves: acquiring Wayne Simmonds from New Jersey for a 2021 fifth-round pick and trading Connor Sheary and Evan Rodriques to Pittsburgh in exchange for 24-year old forward Dominik Kahun.   Joe breaks down both trades and offers insight into what general manager Jason Botterill’s mindset probably is with the deals. The guys also discuss why some other moves weren’t made, what Rasmus Ristolainen’s future with the organization may be, why it took so long for resolution with disgruntled defenseman Zach Bogosian, if Joe thinks Botterill’s job is safe after the season and much more. They also spend a few minutes at the top learning why Joe became a Detroit Lions fan and how Patrick is blowing a golden opportunity in Florida to see plenty of baseball. Joe’s a great writer, a great dude and it’s fourth time on the podcast—easily one of Patrick’s favorite people to chat with.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
