Yo - what’s the band’s name??

I think we could lose JJP, Tuch and Thompson in the next 365. (Not predicting. But I'm saying it's possible.) If that happens I think we should go the other way. Start leaving roadkill on Ter-Bear and Kev Kev's front door. Don't quit, declare war.

I don't find Nashville getting Haula for cheap as weird. He'd be a bottom 6 upgrade here. Why not get him for next to nothing if you have the cap room? Flip him later if you want. He's a utilitarian player.

I like Frederic but that's crazy for him.

I don't think you need to impress the casual fan. You just create a winning atmosphere and the casual fan can get caught up in that if they want to. Better yet your tickets are in such demand from the winning that the casual fan can't get one.

So I always check TickPick to try and find cheap concerts or sports events to go to and as I was scrolling I saw two Brand New shows in the NYM area with tickets for $2 (yes, $2 with no fees added). That got me curious so I checked the band page and sure enough all dates have stupid cheap tickets. If you don't know the story: Years back it came out the lead singer did some bad things involving women (including some underage) and this is their big comeback tour. So apparently some more bad stuff involving women came out a few months back and now horrified fans who were somehow stunned that the guy who did bad things did more bad things that hadn't been disclosed were dumping their tickets. I mean, you knew the guy did bad stuff so why are you shocked that more stuff came out?

Byram Rosen To San Jose for Liljegren 30th overall Quentin Musty San Jose gets best player, we get RHD, 1st round pick and the better prospect in a swap

Winning is all that matters. Unless you are Terry Pegula.

I’ve surrendered to the negative. If KA and his adviser don’t right this rudderless rust bucket of a team everyone that is able and has an ounce of pride will jump ship.

People are too negative. I feel like there's a good chance that a meteor strikes 31 other NHL teams and a few AHL teams that would probably fill in.

There’s no question that stars get preferential treatment in the NBA. However, NHL refereeing is even more erratic.

You need the biggest stars on your team in the NBA to win because if you have the stars you have the refs NHL doesn't work that way

Just saw that the LA Lakers are being sold for $10B (billion, with a B). Maybe Pegula will buy the franchise and turn it into a $5B entity.

Stubbornness in certain circumstances is an admirable trait. And it some other circumstances it is a debilitating trait.

We can use another younger Zucker. He was both productive and tough.

What if YOU are the tourist, attending a game in another city not involving the Sabres (or a team you're a fan of)? Is winning the only thing that matters? I realize that you're not focused on that, but the original post asked whether it was important to "entertain the people in the stands" and whether it was important to entertain the "causal fan." I'd argue that it is important. I sometimes take my kids to major league sports and they care very little about the actual game action. The other stuff keeps them entertained. I'm going to be in Boston over the summer on a family vacation and we're attending a Red Sox game. We're not going because we care about the Red Sox winning, we're going to check out the atmosphere at an iconic ballpark. I've been a huge Sabres fan, following the team more or less since it's inception, so for me, when it comes to the Sabres winning is everything. I don't care about the scoreboard, the music, the food options, etc. - I just want to see a winning team on the ice. You and I likely agree on that. Pegula and Adams have run this once proud franchise into the ground. Whether they can recover it is highly in doubt. So, as to the Sabres, we agree. I'm just addressing the questions raised in the original post.

Yep that’s cuz Buffalo was the only team willing to pay him this late in his career + he was sick of Moving every year to a new team. In saying that, he did play well and we could use more zucker’s

I agree John. It’s just quite disheartening that it’s taken 5 wasted years for someone (TP) to figure that out. TP must really love him some KA.

In any other place a franchise star giving an interview like that would lead to a media and online frenzy, in Terry's Nuthouse it's just another day and nobody cares.

Moves are already starting to happen. Nashville made a trade Donato cashed in What else will happen? Find out next on the Summer of Silly 2025. Recap

Eh. He’s dookie.

Just being satisfied with having a team isn't enough anymore. 14 years of no playoffs is pathetic. This better be one busy off-season to show they care. No quality FA will sign here unless he has zero other offers. Playing scared isn't a culture. Trades.

BPA re: F/D/G in trade

Was listening to the Barenaked Ladies children's album (Snack Time) recently and I think the answer is there. The Sabres won't have the pick. 9 will be GONE. You know why? Because 7-8-9.
