The salary cap continues to climb, yet it also continues to become more unbalanced. Heard today that 10 years ago, 1 year FA contracts made up 12% of the deals handed out during Free Agency. Now it''s 54 %. Far fewer players get the big deal. QB, WR, OL and Pass rushers get more and more. It also makes the GM's jobs far more difficult for cap balance. Have to know when to stop kicking $ down the road after reviewing the real contract terms. Diggs was mentioned and even if the Bills hypothetically traded him after June 1st, they would take a massive cap hit next season. It's far easier to cut him in a year or 2, cap wise. Crazy but I'm glad Beane isn't acting like the Broncos. That Wilson cap hit will probably keep them down for a while. That contract was so dumb.

If getting outshot 18-8 in the third period is shutting them down then yes, that's exactly what the Sabres did. Once again UPL earned a star. I will say, though, that the Kraken effort in the third was typical of post-tank Sabres: Lots of shots from the outside; Oopie only had to make a couple tough ones.

OT - Sabres the most stressful team to cheer for

Yeah but it's impressive when the fancy stats back it up. Luckily Buffalo fans know how to imbibe their coping mechanism. -

Oh, that's a purposeful colloquialism. I didn't start it but I've perpetuated it. -
Same old "boy the other team sure played bad"...I suppose some think that is the only way the Sabres can win a game apparently. Funny never heard a thing when the Sabres played absolutely horrible and that was the only reason Detroit beat us. I like to think that when this team is playing they make the other team look bad. They have proven they are a very good team when they are on. I love when they just steamroll over teams. They do have that abiility and have even done it to good teams such as Vegas and hav ebeaten Colorado and Oilers so it is no fluke. Sometines it is hard to know which team will show up mind you but they are still a young team and learning to win.

The next captain of the Sabres will be/should be
BullBuchanan replied to mjd1001's topic in The Aud Club
That's exactly what any captain should say. Their job is to downplay anything bad with the team and overemphasize the positives. If you want an honest Captain, they won't be captain very long. -

I have a pronunciation beef that's developed over the past few years. What happened to the word important? Kids today say impor int. The T is gone. Same with ask but I won't go there and risk suspension during the playoffs. 🤣 -
