    A city that is not on every players no-trade clause. Expect the same for any player looking to get traded. Buffalo will only be able to get free agents by overpaying by a ton. The reputation here is so beyond awful that I really think this team will never recover. Drafting is there only chance from here on out. 

    I expect (or at least hope) the next CBA will severely restrict NMCs, but until then, I agree with your last two sentences.  However, Philly can't possibly have a great rep either.  The Flyers have been scraping the barrel for coaches and haven't made the playoffs for years now.  And a cushy condo downtown there costs what, 2.5x what it costs in Buffalo?

    Some trade scenarios from the Athletic (pieces as part of packages):

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6444484/2025/06/23/sabres-jj-peterka-trade-destinations-nhl-teams/

    • The Leafs: Carlo
    • Mammoth: Kesselring
    • Rangers Miller, Cuylle or Schneider
    • Canucks: Garland
    • Lightning: Cernak
    • Flames: Andersson or Coleman
    • Islanders: Romanov, Dobsom or Pageau
    • Penguins: Rust
    • Jackets: Sillinger
    • Blues: Neighbours, Kyrou or Parayko
    • Devils: Mercer or Nemec
    • Senators: Pinto or Zub

    Article seems to be purely speculative, matching interested teams with potential targeted returns

    Thank you, because I can't log in to The A right now for some reason and wanted the substance of Fairburn's ideas.

    i asked the gif generator for a Sabres celebration.

    that was the best option i saw (other than the one of benson banging the door by the bench (and i'd already used that one in recent memory)).

    ... i was celebrating what, to me, was your return to the board.

    Oh, that's kind.  But I've been back since winter, which ended in late May this year.

    God a competent GM could do this:

    Robertson - $7.5 mill

    Marchment - $4.5 mill

    Dumba - $3.75 mill

    Lyubushkin - $3.25 mill

    Removes $19 mill for Dallas

    9th overall 

    Krebs $1.45 mill

    Kulich  $.89 mill

    Rosen $.89 mill

    Clifton $3.3 mill

    Stars only bring in less than $7 mill 

     

    I know it’s not going to happen but something has to get me through the doldrums of summer.  I know I didn’t address the Sabres salary cap issues after the moves but I’d just do it and figure out the salary stuff later. 

    I love it but I don't know (and do not feel like looking up) whether the three Dallas players besides Robertson have NMCs.

    Once GB are eliminated I’ll be cheering for Ras and Sweden. 

    I never understand your sports.

    Olympics:  Four countries, but you call yourselves GB and not UK.

    Cricket:  England and Wales are together but the others are separate.

    Soccer:  All of them are separate.

    Some other sports:  Ireland and NI are a unified team, but GB is still split into three.

    Can you get your king or minister of magic or whatever to fix this?  It is confusing.
