CallawaySabres

The guy who does all this was in my class in highschool and his first project was the slug. He showed it to me before it was revealed and all I remember saying to him was "what is that and where are the legs"?! I was so pissed off and told him I thought it was awful. I can only pray that the royal blue is not some new creation but time after time, they have totally screwed it up. They will get the money grab with the 3rd jersey this year and then do it all over again next year with the royal blue

Not a bad stretch to start off the season. If they are below 500 after the first 13 games of that schedule, I think it is safe to assume we are in for another crappy year....

Whatever the Sabres end up doing, please don't trade away futures......Sabres need to be good for the long haul, not just a year or two.

I also asked if he had seen them and if he liked them - yes and yes were the responses ?

100%

Keep Risto

Good news......just not this year Shhhhh

At least if the team stinks again, we can look forward to a gold and white uniform.! Sincerely, the most fan deaf organization you can imagine

That is what I was told 2 Summers ago so I just hope they did not change their mind. He also showed me the Winter Classic jersey many months before the reveal so I have no reason not to believe him.

It was a horrible trade He was here on a good cap number He most likely demanded a trade back in March because Buffalo had been talking to the Blues for months. It had nothing to do with O'Reilly saying he lost his passion He's gone........so go find a 2nd line center and fix your massive mistake, it's time to not SUCK anymore

Win it for Laila!

That was as sarcastic as i could get ?

Let him go, I'm sure there are plenty of people in Rochester that could take his place. And in 3 years, we can add a potential 20 goal scorer when the #7 pick is ready to go!

8 years at 9 million and I put that money elsewhere...hate it

I think JBot knows he is signing him no matter what...even if he has to go to Skinner's asking price. They both know he is staying but who gets/saves the extra money in the end?

Just make it so this team does not suck anymore, ok?

I think one of the top benefits of having him as a coach is the leadership that he will be able to pass along to Jack.

That's what I thought, I read it wrong thinking he was saying the cap changes each year against

Are they allowed to offer that 2nd version? I thought the average had to be across the board for every year no?

Hmmmm, i wonder if O'Reilly has found his love of the game again......

He had ONE great year and is a very good player. Carolina sure did miss him, ugh. This is NOT the player you give 8 years to unless he is willing to go down to 7 million per. Where the hell is the Sabres Robert Foster and why can't our GM find anyone outside the first round? I don't trust Botteril to make the right decision and the next GM is going to DREAD this Skinner contract if gets more than 64 million on the books.

No way am I paying 8 years at 9 million....walk away. Paying him 9 million at age 35 will be a disaster waiting to happen.

If they are going to give him eight years, it should not be a penny over 8 million

My God Buffalo would not last five minutes in a Stanley Cup Final. They would all be in the hospital by the end of period 1

My favorite
