Skunks are harmless. No need to kill em. My uncle basically only kills his traps if they're pests or have mange or something. He's pretty humane. He's in Livonia so recommended him to your neighbors if they want anything relocated lol http://www.olesasquatch.com/

Skunks are actually pretty chill. Did you know a litter of skunks is called a surfeit?

My uncle is a trapper and he says baby skunks have the stuff, but they don't know how to use it. They'll let out like a little "fart" but they can't aim and shoot like the adults. Even the adults aren't going to be too trigger happy since it takes them time to replenish. You really have to make them mad to get sprayed.

I don't know if the Sabres being a team that can pay players more money for less term is generally an advantage either. Typically you want to be able to offer term to keep costs lower. But if players are looking at the market and saying "I'm not going to get that much more from the Sabres" I think they'll be more inclined to sign 1 year deals for less money on better teams that let them boost their earning potential for the next FA cycle. I think the only players who might be interested in short term for more cash with the (very bad!) Sabres are players who aren't sure they're going to be able to do better in a year. Guys who are close to washed.

I think you're missing the bigger picture, which is that players don't want to go to a team that needs to sign half a roster. I think players are much more likely to sign with a team that has been competitive, or is very close to being competitive. They will want to be that last piece on a good team and they will shun the Sabres to do it. Who wants to be the first player to sign with Buffalo? I bet a lot of agents will be encouraging their clients to hold out on Buffalo/ look elsewhere, since it's going to be a buyers market anyway. I don't think this situation is advantageous for Buffalo.

Would he? What if he thought there was a better offer coming if he waited? We have to allow for the possibility that Botterill was stupid.

I'm less inclined to think this was true these days. Part of me thinks Botterill wanted to move O'Reilly without paying the bonus to prove that he was the GM that the Pegulas hired. I think he genuinely thought this move was a stroke of genius.

It's not just the RFAs. They have to fill out a full roster. That includes the bottom six guys. That cap space is going to disappear fast, especially with Okposo and Hutton taking up 8.75 mil.

The Sabres don't really have cap space anyway

I keep reading the thread title as "Jags" and going "they been here for years..."

I'm all in on the mask thing. It's such a minor duty to take on for the benefit of my neighbors. I wore one for 3 hours straight yesterday at the flea market. It's fine and anyone can wear one anywhere once they get over themselves.

This is the thing that concerns me the most as a young person. I'm trying to imagine having lungs that are messed up like I have pneumonia for the rest of my life. That sounds pretty not great.

Posting anything related to an Eichel trade should result in a temp ban.

I always knew it was an animal, but I thought it was a Wolverine

+1 for Dublin Corners. That's a little hidden gem near the Genesee Greenway Trails. Edit: in fact, let me know if you and the wife are going to stop by there on Sunday. I might go walk the stretch from Cuylerville to Mt Morris, so Dublin Corners would be on my way back up to rt 20 from Cuylerville.

All Eichel trade speculation is fake news

oh my god stop with this dreck

That's all well and good, but it doesn't mean anything All Wawrow reported was that, essentially, Dudley wouldn't have been opposed to the idea. We have no idea if he ever reached out to the Sabres, or if they ever reached out to him. You can't nix something that never existed.

Who says the idea was even around to be nixed? The fans are the only ones linking Dudley to the Sabres in any way.

Interesting....

1. I actually have no idea how I became a Sabres fan. My parents weren't big sports fans or anything. We didn't have cable. But it had to be the mid 90s. I already liked the team when they were playing Ottawa in the playoffs '97. That was also the season I went to my first game. I feel like I was aware of the team prior to that though... 2. Favorite player? Gosh, I dunno. I guess Hasek would be the one player who would still leave me awestruck if I were to meet him in person. I like RJ more than any of the players though ? 3. Most exciting moment is still being at the party in the plaza for the Drury buzzer-beater. Most frustrating? Losing to Carolina in '06. I'm still mad. That was our Cup. 4. Improve the current team? I would simply sign actual hockey players.

You have to turn Safe Search off to get results for anything Niagara Falls related ?

IAG is Niagara Falls Airport Jet A is fuel. XSR960 is the callsign for the charter jet the Pegulas supposedly use.

I'm sure another reporter on Twitter will be along shortly to say the exact opposite of whatever it is Wawrow is trying to say.
