    They're playing by the rules. And GMs aren't going to give up this power willingly because it gives them the opportunity to win, provided their owner wants to win and is willing to pay.

    That said, the rule must be rewritten. It's pathetic loophole with the way the rest of the cap operates. Either you make the playoff rosters cap-bound, or any player placed on LTIR (it's for retirees and serious injuries like ACLs) is out until the start of the new fiscal season/UFA opening on 7/1.

     

    But on a serious note, it's good to have a villain.

    As Jackikin Eichwalker wants to remind us: "I have brought goals, a Cup, and LTIR exploitation to my new Empire!"

    Darren Drager on Sabres Live said some of the owners are not happy with Vegas taking advantage of the playoff rule, and may push for a change for next season.

    I'm curious:  What's the condition on the pick?

    It’s on life support.

    Good for KO… Gets a chance at a Cup again… As Captain, he had to be replaced after the team stick stunt on his watch… 

    Who will the team select as Captain?

     

    They’ll likely leave it open for the season, then pick Dahlin next season.

    Like literally many, many pro-sports team owners. You're criticizing just him for this?

    He’s the topic at hand, not other owners. And given Buffalo’s relatively smaller population, it has more of an impact on taxpayers. Remember those famous words, “If I need more money I’ll drill another well”.

    "The lease expires in 2025"

    Would someone more knowledgeable than I please explain what the possible options could be after the lease expires?

    Pegula blackmails taxpayers to reduce the cost of the lease and/or pay for much of the needed renovations, or else he’ll sell the team to investors in Utah, Atlanta, Houston, or Quebec.
