So they give Ellis a one year deal for $6 million to reach the cap floor for next season.

Anaheim could be making cap space to pick up Moulson and Halak as a package.

My guess is it was a modern Camelot situation: PLF (Lancelot) charms Kim Pegula so he has the ear of the queen. Terry (Arthur) finds out, and banishes PLF in a fit of jealousy. Meanwhile, what do the simple folk do?

But he made that great trade for Alexei Yashin and then signed him to a 10 year $90 million contract. All he had to give up was some underachiever (Zdeno Chara) and a 1st round pick (Jason Spezza).

And today was the day the franchise tag had to be used in the NFL, which is a big issue regarding Byrd.

Most likely destinations for Moulson are LA and Anaheim.

My sympathies on your work experience.

I actually joined a month ago but haven't posted, I've been on The Stadium Wall for years, and I'm in Syracuse. I don't think we'll ever get the full story, but at this point my interest is in what Murray's next move is.

I watched the stream with no problems, guess I sucked up all the bandwidth.

His first act as owner was a mistake, keeping Darcy, so he brought it on himself. They could have begun this rebuild a couple years ago.

From Bucky Gleason: @TBNbucky: Working phones all night. I'm hearing LaFontaine did not resign, but was fired. Many, many theories out there with blame on both sides. @TBNbucky: One thing that is consistent: LaF and Murray agreed Nolan should stay. Power struggle was higher than Murray but not all execs involved.

Bulldog just tweeted that he and Jeremy White will be on WGR tomorrow 9-11am to discuss the Sabres.

3rd line D. I actually do still play on a no checking team, so I'd be a good fit. I play Sunday mornings at 6:30am.

I came from St Louis as part of the Miller trade. Career minor leaguer but good depth player; a poor man's Jerry Korab.

Following the Sabres' trade of Ryan Miller and Steve Ott on Friday, TSN's Bob McKenzie speculated that Tim Murray may immediately turn around some of the parts he received from the Blues. McKenzie noted on Twitter that he thinks Buffalo will attempt to send G Jaroslav Halak to Minnesota and RW Chris Stewart to the Senators. According to McKenzie, names from Ottawa that may intrigue Murray include Mark Stone, Matt Puempel, Mark Borowiecki, and Fredrik Claesson.

The head coach doesn't have to be the detail guy, the assistants can do that. But he has to be a leader and motivator. Rolston would have been a good assistant but not an NHL coach.

Mary Poppins stayed longer than PLF. Pegula is looking like the Daniel Snyder of the NHL.

What's this wife swapping story, I've never heard it.
