    Ya, the issue is not winning when teams were way more cap strapped and we had the opportunity to take advantage of a great player at 4.5 mil

    Missed the boat to be sure. Alas 

    Link? 

    Ya like Matt Moulson

    You mean the guy whose career is an irrefutable argument that John Tavares should be a first ballot Hall Of Famer??????? Seriously, Pajama Boy made that guy a millionaire.

    Agreed.

    Hopefully once the new Bills stadium is open, they will look to do something bigger with the Arena.  If they wait too long, the thing that will be best for it will be a few thousand sticks of dynamite and a wrecking ball.

    I don't like the special discount menu for only season ticket holders. Yeah, you want to reward your season ticket holders somehow, but for the rest of fans, you basically telling them "you aren't good enough buy more tickets or we'll get you to pay up in other ways".

    The State and County are tapped out after the Bills stadium and the City is broke. I guess Terry is going to spend the half billion dollars to get the arena up to league standards.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    He also led the NHL in blocked shots by a forward, and is one of the very few that sticks up for teammates.   He is one of 22 forwards selected to try out for US Olympic team, so he is a respected player in the league.  
     

    Letting him go would be very deflating to an already fragile team.  

    Yup. The idea that there are people who can't see the devastating second order consequences of such a thing that even a toddler would grasp blows my mind.

    Sport gamblers that lose money on bets are harassing profession athletes to get their money back. Having known a gambler like this who demanded money from me I am not surprised. 

    https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/brady-tkachuk-says-harassment-over-gambling-must-stop/

     

    Tkachuk has joined a growing choir of voices that have called for the end of abuse against professional athletes, often fueled by losing wagers. ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski interviewed Tkachuk and spoke about his experience with such online abusers.

    Tkachuk did not hold the bag. He said people were constantly sniping at him for certain plays that didn’t come up with the bookie, accusing him of bearing responsibility, or even demanding refunds.

    He even had to change his Venmo account as online harassment continued on the platform. 

    Tkachuk also said that he was surprised to find out that people would ask him for money because their bets didn’t come through, and confirmed that he would never pay back a gambler. He found the whole thing “funny,” that a fan or someone who bets on the sport would hold players to account for not making a certain play because said person had money riding on the fact.

    Anyone smarter than a 5 year old could have see the second-order consequences of legalizing sports betting.
