Think you missed the point: It's money not actually being spent so from an actual spending perspective we are $9.5 million below the cap. We are a poverty franchise and will continue to be one for the foreseeable future.

Multiple ones are no longer in the organization and Jack Quinn looks like a huge bust. And you are correct: our prospect pool is crap because we haven't found ***** outside of the first two rounds since God knows when. Our drafting and development completely sucks which is why we are the biggest disaster of an organization in hockey history with no end in sight.

Imagine having lottery picks for over a decade and ending up with a prospect pool as unremarkable and underwhelming as ours.

How hard is it for people to understand that arbitration is literally designed to be a doomsday option for both the team and player that is to be avoided at all cost?

You are leaving out the massive dead cap space that's a consequence of the Skinner buyout (you know, the one done last year with the idea it gave us additional cap space for that season that Kevyn Smithers did ***** all with).

Norm = GOAT

Whatever one thinks about the person it can't be denied that he was in many ways the single most important performer in the history of the industry.

League when Sabres tanked: THESE PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER AND HISTORY'S GREATEST MONSTER AND MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!! League when Pittsburgh, Toronto and Chicago tanked:

Here were your two options: A) Take the late first + B/C level prospect that other teams were offering in a trade. B) Sign him to a short term deal. Think it's obvious which option was the correct choice.

THE KENNEDY CURSE

Lucha Libre is a sport:

You are aware last season was his first as their owner right?

I'm sure Tuch is watching this insanity with Yakety Sax playing in the background going on thinking "GET ME THE ***** OUT OF HERE".

So the Sabres are in a complete state of paralysis until the situation with Byram is resolved. What a hilarious shitshow this organization is.

Adams had roughly the same qualifications to be an NHL GM as the guy with the hot dog cart outside of the arena. Only a ridiculous fool like Terry didn't see this coming.

I get the feeling he gets a poison pill laced offer sheet.

Walsh works for his clients to get them what they want. He didn't give a counter offer because JJ didn't want to be here. Why do you think he was feeding his stooge Fat Frank all of those stories?

They would be stupid enough to think that.

When you are in a contract year and show up completely unprepared and out of shape and stink the joint out on a nightly basis that's a HUGE red flag. Why in the hell are they giving him anything other than a qualifying offer?
