A person with direct knowledge of Jack Eichel's contract confirmed to The Associated Press that the Buffalo Sabres forward missed out on a $2 million performance bonus in his contract by a mere decimal point. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/19129861/buffalo-sabres-jack-eichel-misses-2-million-bonus

Ranking the winners through Day 1 of NHL free agency 2. Buffalo Sabres: GM Tim Murray continues to impress with his aggressiveness, signing Kyle Okposo to play on a line with Evander Kane and Ryan O’Reilly. At the draft, he acquired Dmitry Kulikov, 25, to fill a major hole on his blue line. If the Sabres get strong goaltending, they will be a much-improved team. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2016/07/01/nhl-free-agency-most-improved-lightning-sabres-okposo-lucic/86615248/

he's the kind of player who gets you beat. good riddance.

cheer up...Stamkos is coming.....

the team leader in plus/minus for a third round draft pick ? i'd say that's a salary dump.....but apparently we are paying half of that. I don't get it.....I don't like the trade.

The Final Countdown

FN atmosphere is NOT the same. went to the SAB/Toronto game in Oct, usually a raucous crowd......it was dead til the final 5 minutes of the 3rd.

i'll keep saying it.... you will NEVER get players and coaches to "tank".....their livelyhoods are at stake. GM's and owners ?....maybe (i.e colts/luck) anyways i'm sticking with my original prediction, Sabres will finish drafting position 5th but win the lottery and pick 1st.

you got 2 out of 3 correct.....
