‘The answer to the latter question appears to be: poorly. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office provides security for games of both the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres, as well as other events at those facilities. For taxpayers, it’s supposed to be a wash, as Pegula Sports & Entertainment reimburses the county for the expense. But there’s a mystery: No one seems to know how the county bills for the expense or how it receives payment. It’s a poor way to do business, especially regarding something as high profile as games by the Bills and Sabres.’

Hamilton Take2: Sabres leadership taking shape
‘While I don’t think making Okposo captain is the wrong move, I would not change anything from last year except for one thing. Zemgus Girgensons and Okposo were named co-captains, but Granato decided just to have them both wear the “A” on their sweaters. I think Girgensons brings different, but valuable leadership, and last season worked. I would keep them both as captains just like it was with Chris Drury and Danny Briere. The thing I would change from last season is I’d put the “C” on Okposo for the first 41 games and then put it on Girgensons for the last 41 games.’
