I see Casey being the guy that pushes these young defensemen to not only bring it every night, but ensure they are showing game over game improvement. Because he is going to be there to step in if Power shies away from the physical play, or Samuelson loses confidence, someone gets injured, etc. Casey is the guy on the team that is looking for that opportunity to show his value and I'm excited to see what he does in '22-'23 if he gets a regular spot for 8-10 games.
I think he beats out Pilut for the 7th D role on the team this year at some point because he has a broader skillset, and plays fearless. I'm rooting for Pilut too, but IMO he has a lot more to prove than Fitz.

They are pretty good on reporting rumors and posting breaking news, you just have to wade through the pop-ups

Shouldn't you already be at the show if you want to see it if it's at Art Park?
(Somebody, maybe you(?), was talking about how they crazily oversold a show earlier this summer.)
I’m almost positive Culture Club won’t be oversold 😁

Ok i understand you need to take a risk but with 1 year and 4 consecutive ***** ones is my concern.
Cozens would be my ideal take a chance on for a long-term type deal he's showed Glimpses of excellency
This makes no sense. You’d give Cozens a long term type deal before he’s proven anything, but the TT deal is a huge risk? This is just silly.

Bill Burr show was great last night. He did at least 1.5 hours himself with several Buffalo specific bits too. He really is one of the best in the business.
Next show Im going to is Monday night, August 29th at the Mohawk place. My band is lucky enough to be opening for Daikaiju, one of the best, if not the best, surf bands doing it today.
Daikaiju was amazing. Very rarely does a band live up to expectations and they 100% crushed it.
Next up is the Culture Club and the English Beat tonight at Artpark.
Also picked up tickets last week to see Ween both nights they play Boston in October.

Sabres are definitely better than last year, but I look at it like this:
Is Buffalo better than Tampa and Florida? Nope.
Better than Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa? Probably not.
Better than Boston or Detroit. Yes.
Sabres might play together as a team better than Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa does, but there are still a lot of question marks with every team in this division outside the state of Florida… -

He probably goes on LTIR at the beginning of the season
And they can be 10% above the cap for awhile
Looks like Price is done

Does that mean Price is gone? Because Montreal has $250k of cap space and still has to sign Dach

Usually I'm doom and gloom on Rosen, but the WJC website has him listed at 5'11 174lb. Not a bad weight gain.
There was a good article today in the Athletic about Rosen's development and how COVID really impacted his ability to get time and reps in, but this junior tourney has highlighted his capabilities.
His father also spoke how he expects Isak to eventually fill out, as he played professionally at 6 foot and 200lbs.

I went into this summer only planning on buying Porno for Pyros tickets if they came within 4 hours of Buffalo, but ended up with tickets for Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets at Sheas, Billy Strings in Rochester, and Bill Burr. Going to pick up Culture Club tickets this weekend at the Art Park box office. Still waiting for a Pyros tour to be announced...

I put him down as 3C because Mitts came out of camp as the #1 center last season before going down with an injury in game 1. Right now I expect Mitts to come back and win the 1C or 2C role, with Tage in the other spot, pushing Cozens to 3C. One of many reasons camp will be interesting to watch this year...

What do you know, Adams was awake and does have a clue
Where did we need upgrades from last year: defense and in net.
Where did we get better from last year: defense and in net
How did this happen: UFA signings
So we overpaid? No
Who do I thank for this?

But he ended up eating it anyway, so what's the point?
Dynamics vary from company to company and industry to industry, but the intent of that tactic is to create a situation where someone finally caves and provides the information you want them to provide. Secondary benefits/results from this tactic are below:
1) typically if the person responsible doesn’t eventually speak up or take responsibly they are either fired, put on notice, or lose a considerable amount of respect/clout which eventually leads to them finding a job elsewhere
2) it’s a message to everyone else in that room that if you make an avoidable mistake you better be ready to answer for it, or see #1 above

Sit in silence in a meeting for 45 minutes? That is pure psychopath behavior.
This is actually a highly effective negotiation tactic. People will become uncomfortable in silence and will just start talking to fill the space. I’ve hit the 6 minute mark in negotiations before, but 45 minutes is next level. Say what you will about Tommy Boy and his effectiveness, but there is no denying he is an expert negotiator.

Picked up 2 tickets to see Billy Strings in Rochester in August. Had tickets to see him May 2020 at Babeville but that ended up getting cancelled.
This guy inspired me to pick my guitar back up and try something different with it a few years ago.

Here’s an interesting stat about Tage I haven’t seen discussed much: he got better as the year went on.
From Feb. 1 (a point by which he was firmly entrenched as the team’s #1 centre and facing opponents’ top defenders) he scored 24 goals and 39 points in 38 games.
That is a major reason I wouldn't hesitate to go 7years/$50M with Tage. He was given the opportunity, seized it, outperformed everyone's expectations, and still hasn't reached his max potential. There just aren't a lot of giant centers in the league that can play 1st line minutes, have those silky smooth hands, can score 40, and also appear to be a good guy in the locker room.
I think he only gets more expensive as the season goes on, assuming he stays healthy.

Now the real question is does he just get the C or does he get the C and an extension?
Hopefully both. I was really concerned about his health for a while (as I think many of us were), but I'm very happy that he seems to be past the worst of it.
I don't think he would be expensive either because I can't imagine many teams would give him more than $2M AAV x 3 years as a UFA.

The article is outstanding, an example of why I have a subscription.
FYI for Athletic subscribers - I was going to cancel my Athletic subscription last year because the renewal rate was around $60, so I set it up to cancel once expired. Around a week later they sent me an email to continue by subscription for only $15-20. Use this info however you want. 🙂

I do like the idea of VO and a goalie prospect that doesn’t want to be in Buffalo for 1 year of a playoff tested vet that can still bring it at a high level.
But I hate the idea of rewarding Kane by bringing him home to end his career.
Since when is coming to Buffalo a reward??? 😁
Kane coming to Buffalo to finish his career at a cap friendly deal, while showing maturity on and off the ice, helping the team to the Cup Final for the first time since ‘99 would be the perfect capstone for his career. He would be immortalized in West Herr ads for the next 40 years once he retires, which will make up for any discount he provided the team. I’ve done my part, balls in Patty’s court now.

If he wants to be here, then he can sign as a UFA next season. I don't give up any resources with which the Sabres' foundation is still being constructed for a single season at that salary, because then he has additional leverage in his extension (even a home discount) -- the Skinner effect.
This is my concern too, but I think KA has a vision and Kane seems like someone that we could get an actual hometown discount on. He's made over $110M in just salary so far in his career. I can see him coming to the Sabres this season and then signing a 3 year deal for $1M AAV after the season if the team sniffs the playoffs. The Sabres are going to be contenders in 2-4 years, no? Kane will want to take another shot at a cup so the Sabres might be his best bet to make it happen, and with him on our 2nd/3rd line and 2nd PP unit we should be a playoff team.

I know, but if Chicago is going to move on then they will want something for him.
Okay, how about some lower level not in the nhl yet prospect and VO and #28. The Hawks will demand a first for him and the Sabres can give it.
It's good to want things. I can think of 6.9M things the Hawks want more than Kane on a losing team next year. Chicago would be thrilled to take a 2nd rounder and a prospect all day long for this contract and the baggage (real or perceived) that comes along with him. This is what weaponized cap space looks like in my book 🙂

Mitts, VO and #16 for Kane ?? Maybe #28 and a 3rd rounder instead of #16 ??
This seems like a huge overpay when there are only a handful of teams that could take on this contract and he has a full NMC.

He will make sure the other team has their head up all night because he will hit anyone anywhere, and isn’t afraid to follow it up with his fists.
I’m estimating he has over 15 jaw dropping open ice hits this season and will end up being a fan favorite as a heavy hitting/shutdown/PK specialist.
