You are having a good time mocking me. It’s apparent to all that I’m out of step and out of tune. True story: In grammar school at graduation my malicious music teacher told me not to sing at the ceremony but to just mouth the words and fake singing. 😀

Maybe, I was just looking at the transactions pages from the NHL.

Hit the nail on the head... but you knew that as soon as 7-6-13 gave you the old eye roll LOL ... validation for sure lol 😆

KA having a discussion with Pegula about buying out Muel : KA: ‘He’s not dependable Terry. Misses too many games.’ TP: Stares at the ceiling. KA: ‘He plays with no toughness. We need more toughness Terry.’ TP: Stares down at his shoes in silence. KA: ‘We can save $14 million in salary’ TP: ‘Do it Kevyn. DO IT!!!!’

There is no band Internal Disgruntlement. I was joking. I mean, maybe there is, but they certainly don’t have 3 albums. I mean, maybe they do, but the third one certainly isn’t a masterpiece. I mean, maybe it is, but I’ve never heard it.

Ecklund has Byrum being traded to Philadelphia. Not sure what they have that we might want. Of course it’s Ecklund so it’s not likely to happen.

I thought Brännström signed in Switzerland?

Rather than sell low I’d wait for camp and see if he comes in with significant muscle added. Let him start the season and then waive if no improvement.

Had Sammy panned out the deal would be looking like a steal going forward. However, he’s shown he has no toughness (his dad must shudder) and he’s unreliable. He has to go. It’s should start with him. Idc how nice he is, he’s a big part of the culture issue. As for Boeser? Guys, he’s not a good skater. Another nice guy but he’s not the answer. You’re going to overpay to get a 20-25 g scorer who is a liability in his own zone. He’ll be 29 next Feb. JJ is younger, quicker and will score more going forward.

I certainly wouldn’t

The fun of being a Sabres fan: -NHL player transactions (trades, signings, extensions, etc): In the past week, 26 of them. 0 from the Sabres. -Since June 1 (last 3 weeks). NHL total transactions, 57 of them (mostly re-signings, a few trades). 0 from the Sabres. -Since the beginning of May, there is ONE Sabres player transaction, Signing D Erik Brannstrom to a three-year contract. The rest of the NHL well over 100. I mean, I'm not a person to say make a move the the sake of it, but there really isn't much to talk about here lately. You would think the team that has the longest playoff drought would be one of them that would be wanting to make the most moves to change things.

His partner is on a different team. Send him there. Because he’s gettin traded

Ya Rangers the deal all day is Schneider and Cuylle and I’d even add if they wanted to get that

I mean ya you aren’t wrong but I’m not gonna lie when he signed that contract I thought we had another contract that could go down as one of the best in hockey the Tage contract is that, I thought this would too. Sammy looked like he had it all, but sadly he did not So yes, it’s still on KA, but getting out of this mistake is actually very easy

K Miller isn’t good; I’ll yell it from the tallest building if I must. Chad D compared him to Muel saying he’s just going to be a higher paid Muel. Plus based on Rangers fans history; they aren’t exactly fond of his performance. Plus they actually are willing to trade him which obviously is a reason not to acquire him. After all anything of any value is off limits to Ranger Fans As mentioned, Cirelli’s NTC kicks in July 1st I have no interest in trading a Top 6 winger with potential for a goalie coming off a serious injury with 1 year left on his deal.

Adams had an excuse with Skinner. It was JBot's signing. Samuelsson is his mistake. If it is a buyout how does he have a job? That's the real issue.

This was not a rumor. It was two guys in a podcast talking about what the Sabres should do with him.

and as such the building is far from full isn't it? Merchandise sales? I imagine Sabres are near league bottom. Playoff revenue? They got none. The league can market just about anything but if your players are just there for the money you have a problem. There's that whole culture thing that I talk about too much and others bring up now and again but if your team culture isn't all about winning and hating to lose then you end up with a bunch of lazy mercenaries who have a good time and go home early in the summer. The term used here has been country club attitude. That becomes the culture and makes the team okay with losing. It's not what you want, and it's hard to change once it's taken hold.

Rangers make so much sense, there is just so many pieces there that would be good tampa does too cause Cirelli no move isn’t untill July 1

https://clutchpoints.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/sabres-rumors-insider-links-5-teams-jj-peterka Chicago, NYI, NYR, TB and Van I doubt we trade him (and I don't think we should), but lets see who actually has something to offer. 1) TB - Hagel (27 in Aug) has no trade protection and 7 years left at 6.5. I doubt TB is making him available. Cirelli has an NTC. Cernak is already 28 and has a NTC. I don't see any fit here 2) NYI - Romanov and Dobson are certainly of interest and are RFAs. I don't see any forwards of interest who don't have trade protection. Not real interested in Barzal (28) at 9.5 for 7 more years coming off 20 pts in 30 games. 3) NYR - I have no interest in Lafreniere. Miller is to old. I have interest in K'Andre Miller, Soucy and Borgen on defense, but not for JJP. Cuylie is of interest, but is an RFA and isn't as good a player as JJP. Miller and Cuylie for JJP? Maybe? 4) Van - I have no interest in Pettersson and his bad knees. We already have Norris. I have some interest in Hronek, but he has a NMC. Garland is a solid 2nd 3rd line winger but is 29. Demko for JJP is some deal might hold some interest. 5) Chicago - They just moved Burakovsky. Nazar is interesting but we already have Benson. I'd love to get Vlasic, but they aren't moving him. The NYI or NYR look like the best trade partners unless we get Demko from Vancouver.

For the cap, no. Because while stuff like this is pretty easily determined, you can get gray REALLY quickly and once you start trying to say well THIS counts against the cap but THAT doesn't, you get counter examples that look similar to A but were treated like B and it likely ends up ugly. Way easier to just say, we'll figure it out at the end of the season provided you don't have more potentially earnable performance bonus money in total than is allowable and we'll figure that out when you submit the contract to the league for approval. For escrow, yes. So that 20 game bonus will be likely be factored into the escrow calculations pretty early in the season whereas the SC bonus won't factor in at all as all regular salary will have been earned or expected to be earned by the time the last escrow estimate is made. And ALL of that will get factored into the final disbursement back to the players (or from them if the calculations were REALLY off) next summer.

A new #1 goalie would at least put us on the road to “hope”. It would be another blunder in a series of 14 year blunders to enter training camp with UPL/Levi/and a washed aging vet(Anderson, Riemer, etc…).

This thread was so fun looking back

LOL, this board has said that 10000 times since the end of last season. Thanks for playing Frank.
