On November 10th, the Sabres traded D Taylor Fedun to Dallas. Since that time, Scandella, Nelson, and McCabe have all joined Hunwick on the injury list. Are we witnessing 'The Curse of Taylor Fedun'?

Miro was solid for 25+ goals every year. Why the hate?

Hopefully building Z's trade value!

It's not nothing. I'm sure the Pegulas have a set amount of millions they want to pay to see the Sabres finish in 10th place this year.

I was just looking at it from a cash flow perspective.

I guess? I dunno. I'm just trying to stay positive with the whole "we saved money" thing. If it got us Thomas or even Kyrou, though? Yup. Count me in.

Amen. This should be a closed case.

Can't disagree. But I think we needed the quantity in this trade. If it means no Larsson on opening night, I'm good with it.

I guess that's all I've been trying to say. Just too many Canada Day brews.

Fair. Redirected is probably a better way to put it. But still, the fact that they picked up the bonus is big, at least IMO.

The Sabres saved $7.5M in overall spending money today by getting rid of ROR's bonus. They brought in close to the same amount in salaries in the trade.

Not looking at it from a cap perspective. He was asking why we should care about STL picking up ROR's bonus. I know it doesn't affect the salary cap.

And they're "affordable" thanks to STL picking up ROR's bonus.

In actuality, I don't care that much. But the Pegulas definitely have a budget on their operation costs. As does every owner in the league. No one knows what it is, but if we're getting $7.5M off of that budget, that's going on the "pro" side of the Venn diagram.

Because money? Budgets? Things that normal businesses pay attention to?
