I turned 13 years old on Friday the 13th during a full moon (so cool). Wore 13 while playing little league Allstars where we went to state and had multiple HRs during the tournament BIG fan of lucky 13 so hopefully it wil be the same for the Sabres

I'd rather open up slots for the up and coming players before signing Kane

I think we need more grinding wheels myself. Lots of power and tourque to go with that grit.

Would he not get a fat signing bonus or is that just NFL contracts ???

I have to imagine that being from Russia that his height and weight stats are trailing data I feel when he arrives here and gets put on Rochesters lineup his height and weight will then be updated.

At this point your looking at 2024... You can grab a few picks possibly in 2023 and maybe package some moves and get a rebuild started. But with salary caps tight for the league getting value for some of your players is going to take more than a couple of months

He is still a RFA when his rookie contract is up so the cost is controlled some. Its up to Power to sign a contract extension early for a significant pay raise, or wait a couple of years till the rookie deal expires and get a moderately better RFA contract deal then, So its take significantly more money for immediate future or push it out and wait for a bigger payday

does SS stand for super *****

UPL and Cromrie did the opposite of earned when you review the season Levi showed more in 7 starts than UPL and Cromrie did over their careers to date IMO

Do not change a thing. Keep the developing and the great drafting. Find the under the radar FA types. Fully expect playoffs if we do not make a single move, but I do feel we will make a move or 2 this offseason. Patience is paying off and I expect it to pay fat dividends. Look at Mittlestadt... The team gave him lots of time and now nobody wants to move him as he has demonstrated he is finding his niche... We have seen the same story with Tage.. G is a curious situation. I fully believe Levi is an annomaly... He will excel in pressure and I think he can handle at least half the load... The question is wether we do bring in a vet or roll with what we have. I am perfectly ok with the franchise direction and see a very bright future

1.) Not looking good, but jury is still out 2.) homerun 3.) 2 lousy point miss 4.) Tage surpassed expectation

Yes there were plenty of fans saying give up this this and that to acquire players who were being paid lots of money and have term and would directly effect the teams future for a quick fix that more than likely would of kept us from the ulimate goal of building a true, lasting contender. I honeslty don't understand nuance in this case. Maybe you were not one of those people but c'mon you read the same messages / social media BS the rest of us do and thats what I heard over and over again You also have fans now screaming wasted opportunity, yet our core nucleus is just entering their prime so the opportunity is extremly far away from wasted

I'm perfectly OK with the direction the team is heading and can see improvement. Looking forward to next season and more improvement, more growth, more excitement To those desperately wanting to trade assets, over pay for FA's on the downside, making bold moves to win it all now at the cost of a stable future..... pffffffffttttt!

I agree ... just the post i was trying to originally reply to just had me scratching my head a little

Does Levi need mentoring? I mean this man is focused, and mature beyond his age. Ironically maybe it Levi's preperation andgameday rituals that actually mentors UPL and Cromrie?

see above

I understand ELC in this case but if we are only going to play him when we are officially eliminated then what you are saying is if we don't play him this year he walks So if Ryan is holding out and will only sign with Buffalo if he gets to burn a year then he is basically rooting for Buffalo to lose or he wants to re enter the draft

Early season I would of said he is gone, find a trade partner End of Season give the guy a solid but reasonable contract

The question is why does that change anything, basically if we are not eliminated then he doesn't play a game this year... That would not change If we are eliminated he gets a game or 2.... but If he stand tall through all 82 would Johnson say screw it, refuses to sign a contract, and go back to the draft because he couldn't get a game in this year ?

that game was a goaltending clinic

Which is exactly why we need the Big Johnson... as mentioned above

a grown man took the wheelchair and pushed it down the stairs for a laugh, but that's hypocrisy... ? The person in the wheelchair knew the bar had limited access and still entered willingly. They even had friends to help.... The only thing news worthy in this thread is an arrogant, ignorant, moron who obviously has a broken moral compass yes you can question the bars lack of elevator access to the 2nd floor, but none of that is appaliing as what Briere did, he is the story, and really the main story here, and Briere deserves all the comments. you don't actually think the bar is more to blame here.... the bar will get scrutinize but its not even close to what Briere or any human who deliberately screws with a disabled person has done. if you think it is hypocritical to be more upset with someone who tossed the wheelchair down the stairs for merely a laugh, well I'm not surprised.

A federal law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires most business and facilities to provide reasonable access and accommodation for all disabled customers, clients, and members of the public. The ADA applies to almost all businesses that are open to the public, regardless of size. So the bar needs to update their facilities But how does that become a preffered talking point over a grown man pushing a wheel chair down the stairs for a laugh
