Dr. Cappuccino was the guy who saved Kevin Everett from being paralyzed for life. He's no Dr. Nick.

Okay. Let him have his surgery. Then what? He's still not going to want to play here. Best case he recovers fully and we trade him for max value. Worst case his career is over and we end up with nothing. I believe there is a 30% chance of that. Then there's all the scenarois in between. Rehab takes until after NMC kicks in. Teams still doubt Jack is 100% even after surgery. Still make low-ball offers. Jack is even more bitter and tries to hurt the Sabres any way he can.

I don't see how Adam's inexperience factors in here. So far he's playing it the right way.

There is economic benefit. Just not enough to offset the investment.

Did you hear the one about Buffalo propping up New York City with our taxes?

This is true in New York, L.A., Dallas, Boston, etc. Not true in Buffalo. Public money is the only reason we have major league sports here. We support these teams with public money. The NHL and NFL would gladly free us of this oppressive burden. Just say the word.

Sure it will

That's a new wrinkle. When did this tidbit come out?

That is not correct. What you are referring to is a $400MM penalty for moving the team before the lease expires in 2023. After that the team is free to leave. There is no such thing as a clause keeping the team here in perpetuity. Good luck even arguing that in court. Imagine your landlord saying you can never move even after your lease expiries?

Highmark Stadium as it's known as now is older than War Memorial stadium was in 1972 when it was replaced. It will be 50 when the lease expiries in 2023. And yes it's starting to fall apart. Those upper decks will not last forever. Of course we could wait until they collapse on their own. There's no question it's time to replace it. In the end everyone will pay part of the bill. Including fans with PSLs. The NFL is an expensive club and one that would rather not have a team here if it were up to them. Same for the NHL to a lesser degree. Taxpayers have to decide if AHL hockey and college football/basketball is enough entertainment. Oh by the way, it'll cost several hundred million to demolish the stadium too. 100% taxpayer funded, that will be

Which expires in 2023.

Having recently gotten new knees they're great but they're not the real thing. I can only imagine what a neck feels like. He absolutely is. You realize what you're doing is talking yourself into taking less because you're panicked. So far Adams' is Kool Kevyn.

You risk getting nothing for a vital asset.

Let me guess. Losing Borgen? We don't have to void it. We can choose to retain his rights.

But does it void the Sabres claim to him? If he comes out of surgery 100% the Sabres can choose not to void and still trade him.

Define sports. No check beer league or the NHL? That still leaves a 30% chance he ends his career.

Just a week ago his agent said he was fine. Today his head is ready to fall off without surgery. Which is the lie?

So much for HiPAA. So who set that up?

Upthread someone mentioned liability to the Sabres if team approved the surgery and he were paralyzed after a hit. Is this true?

Because that's the case.

Or that he ever said he wants to leave Buffalo. /s

Management malpractice. Some fans are certainly blinking like a railroad crossing.

We'll you just saw the reaction of that.

Looooooooong-term IR.
