And every offseason his GM went after big-dollar free agents, though he failed to sign them. Why even bother if this internal cap exists?

That’s a negatory must have made a deal with the devil that last year

Bogosian was a picture of health once he moved on from Buffalo, wasn’t he? Ive theorized in the past that Mattias is following Bogo’s path.

and here I thought you were going to say you'd installed a toilet in your living room.

Huh? How is this in any way accurate?

About the only thing SS agrees on is Muel’s absence would be negligible at best. I honestly wonder what metrics or matrix this organization used to evaluate his on ice value.

Mattias Bogosian A detriment to your roster

They don’t even try to hide it. Yeah, he’s legitimately hurt, but that timeline is so incredibly convenient.

I’m going with one or two Sabres to focus my irritation at. OP for sure.

Just in time for playoffs.

I'll just tune them out from the start and save the time to wait until they're defacto eliminated by November.

If they waive Bryson... Jones is still there as the 7. Muel can be counted on to miss a minimum of 15-20 games and some of that could be easily be a looksee for Novikov.

Girgensons scores 2 goals in the first for Tampa. That equals his season total for last year.

Need to get at least 5 points head-to-head with the Panthers this regular season. They'll probably come out of the gates in full "FU, we don't need Barkov or Tkachuk" mode. But you need to be able to beat them when they lose of their best forwards.

Tuch probably knows this and is using it for leverage

The owner of the team announced EEE, and proceeded to have the following in cap space by season $8.8M, $15.5M, $17.2M, $10.6M, and $8.5M and are going into the season with $5.19 after a massive cap bump and trading an extendable player (JJP) for two economic and cost-controlled assets. The owner has not made a public statement since. The ownership believes it exists until they prove otherwise.

Novikov is an RFA after this season for what it's worth. Would be nice to know if he's got the NHL in him before you have to sign him.

They should just stick to 1-3 preseason games and start the season 1st of October.

It just seems to me that in many ways the Tuch negotiations are a crucial test of the seriousness of this organization. I know many would argue that question is already answered and I would not dispute that sentiment, but to the extent hope remains then this negotiation is critical. I do not see any way the Sabres can let Tuch walk and have any prayer of fielding a competitive team with this current regime or player set. Quite simply, he embodies what they have been preaching they want in their players, in every respect. I care little about league comparison of value based on advanced stats or any other measure when discussing Tuch. He is critical to THIS team. Signing him provides a window for this team to right this particular ship and move forward. Failure to sign him is admission of failure, and whether they would admit it or not, a restart on the rebuild yet again.

Panthers confirm Barkov’s injury Timeline of 7 to 9 months

I actually saw the reply of the play in question. I personally chalked it up to “miscommunication—that’s what preseason is for.” Suffice to say, I’m optimistic to a flaw…

I’m pretty fecking dumb but I remember big words and an impeccable speller even without stupid ass autocorrect.

As a faux Bolivian would say
