Exactly, just like when the Eagles lost Carson Wentz to injury and had to go with Nick Foles and…..oh wait, not a good example.

In a way, I envy you and those so emotionally wrapped up in things like this. I don’t understand it, but at times I wish I did. Enjoy your weekend.

How do you know how deliberate he was about anything? What if he was referring to Red Sox plummeting and losing to the Yankees.

That sounds kinda familiar

I’m assuming you are talking about the NYR, LV connection. I’m not sure there is anything to it but things have really tightened up with the KA regime. If I had to guess, I’m guessing Buffalo is hoping a straight deal with LV but is prepared to settle for a three way with the NYR. Just to be clear, this is all just speculation on my part given where things stood before the draft. If nothing else, Wookie and Dudacek can work on a scenario that has Z ending up in LV and Jack going to NYR. Have at it boys.

No, I understand that but was just making the point in defense of the Pegula’s. They have been at the forefront of sports medicine and different approaches and while some have proven ineffective, it’s hardly like they were going a cheap route.

So the Bills approach is considered “cutting edge” but the Sabres are viewed as using “med school dropouts?” More likely, just another case of old school hockey players resisting change.

Disagree. The bargains will be the fools like RNH who sighed a ridiculous 8 year deal that will be third line money in four years.

$97.50 and you all have to pick a game

It’s that time. I know the mood isn’t great but o have up to ten tickets available and only one(Taro) spoken for,

I’m sorry, you are again showing your youth. I have learned through the years that everyone is motivated by different things and to make such a blanket statement reveals a youthful bias.

I’m not sure why people are surprised that some of the framework is done and it’s just up to other team to agree to the other parts. KA admitted he talked to Eichel’s agent twice the day of draft. They weren’t discussing the weather. His agents have said they thought a deal would be done. They weren’t just hoping.

I said it was a hunch, nothing I was told.

More of a hunch colored with the fact I believe a deal was always going to get done by mid-August after pre-draft trade fell through.

I’ve told a few people, trade will be announced same day Josh Allen signs new deal. So there’s that…..

From what I know of Inky, touchable would be a more appropriate moniker.

There is also one more team. No Seattle means at least two more goalies are on the market.

I mentioned this exact scenario before the draft.

They believe they will get what they want without salary retention or taking on bad contracts. Time will tell if they are right.

KA is doing it right. He set his price and he’s sticking to it. It’s not about the money as some keep saying. They will need to spend $8-10M just to get to floor so it’s going to get spent but they want to spend it on useful players.

They really thought they could play Adams and bully him into a quick trade. Still think this gets done sooner rather then later but they are making things worse. As for aforementioned retention of salary, they want optimum flexibility when they needed and committing to a $2M payout fir the next five years isn’t part of the plan.

It was the draft room that was put on hold. Southern Tier Brewing (716) is hoping to open by September, maybe even August.

It’s a Rochester press release and a two way contract, settle down.

The Sabres offered the $5M per year.

I guess I’ll take a loss on this one but they were sure this deal was done. I’m not entirely sure it was Linus who backed out.
