Just heard a rumor on Instigators. So I’ll pass it along and add my own totally speculative thoughts.
A ‘NHL source’ said that Boston was calling KA every two weeks about Jack. That sounds unrealistic. I’d swap them Jack for Charlie MacAvoy and a goalie but doubt that happens.
I recall that KA was trying to get a goalie out of Boston when he traded Hall, but Boston would not budge. Which is curious, if Boston liked their young goalies so much why sign Linus? With Rask that gives them four NHL goalies. Did they do that to screw with us and make us want to make a deal for Jack?
Sounds too crazy to be true.
Anyone pushing that is either pulling someone's leg or high on bath salts. The broooinz have the single worst prospect pool in the entire sport AND would be giving Jack his dream move, if you designed a parody of the worst trade partner possible this would be it.

The difference between Chernobyl and the Sabres: Chernobyl was an accident.

If you are an NHL GM and can't get a team to at least compete for a playoff spot within 2 seasons you suck at your job and need to go work at a Mighty Taco instead.

To me there is no chance he ends up with the rags as their offer is junk, they clearly have no plans to up it, any other offer can't be worse, we don't want him anywhere in the east and really Vegas makes far too much sense for both parties.

Absolutely! His first few shows have been met with resounding success and great reviews. The kid does have "IT".
I was at the show at MetLife and Mammoth WVH just blew me away. Honestly one of the best opening acts I have ever seen, even better than many "name" openers I've seen on loaded tours. Fun fact is that when they did the Van Hagar tour in the early/mid 2000's I saw them at the Meadowlands Arena and Wolfgang (who was like 14 at the time IIRC) came on stage and did a few songs with his dad.

Going to Hella Mega Tour tonight at Citi Field. Going entirely to see The Interrupters and Weezer. If Fall Out Boy plays enough of their older stuff that I like will stick around for at least part of their set. Not staying for Green Day.
Tomorrow is G&R at Met Life.

Just something of a reality check: How many major markets don't already have a team and either have an NFL level stadium or can afford to build one? I really can't think of one. Austin? Is the team just going to play in the UT stadium (unlikely)? Why would Jones or Lanier allow a 3rd team in the state when the result would be shrinking their market share? Would an NFL team succeed in a town where UT is everything?

The league would love to move the Packers. They can't. They are the only community owned team & the league has since put rules in place to guarantee THAT "mistake" doesn't happen again.
Those other teams are all in bigger US markets. (Not positive greater Cincy is bigger than greater Buffalo if the NP is included, but the NP is never included in those rankings.
If you think that then you couldn't possibly be more wrong. The Packers are one of the 5 or so most popular teams in the entire league.

According to the New York Post, if the Sabres retain $5 million of his salary, the Rangers would be so kind as to add Kakko to be the “centerpiece” of the deal.
I would imagine that if the Sabres were willing to retain half of his salary, more than half the teams in the league would be interested in making offers
Larry Brooks is a ridiculous human herpes sore and that's the nicest thing I'll ever say about him.

We’re still paying .5% more in sales tax 21 years later for Paul Brown Stadium. And the proposed property tax rebates never happened because of decreases in sales tax revenue due to recessions and online shopping. Also, because the county owns and operates the stadium maintenance and any needed upgrades come from the general fund. Same goes for Great American Ballpark. I just hope that Erie County makes a better deal than Hamilton county did in 1996.
As a Bengals fan I'm well aware of this. There is a reason there is/was a website called www.mikebrownsucks.com .

The thing I can't understand is that while this organization is a gong show their medical staff and doctors (who they share with the Bills) are just about the only top notch thing about it. If they are recommending something there is likely a very good reason they are doing so.

Jack and his agents have zero reason to want to endear themselves to Sabres fans. If you think that’s what is going on here I think you should read it and reconsider.
They are having trouble finding a trade partner because he has a bad rep as a petulant brat among many in the league. His actions just confirmed this and will result in this dragging out longer (which is the direct opposite of the desired effect).

OK after that he can go straight to hell. When he comes back he deserves the Pajama Boy treatment times 10. And the thing that hurts the most is that I defended this guy from vicious attacks and in the end they were 100% correct. For that game bring Patty Kaletta out of retirement, he'll know what to do.

If the hold up is retaining salary: If this drags on through the season and everyone on planet Earth KNOWS he must be dealt by July 1st 2022 teams will know they have us by the shorthairs and then teams will demand that we retain salary AND offer less than they are now. So we can retain salary now and get the deal we want or wait and STILL have to retain salary just to get a much worse deal.

I said it before merchandise sales will be down. The team as is does not scream “pay to come watch a good show”. It reminds me of Rachel Phelps in Major League.

Don't know how people can buy tickets for the product on the ice???
Seriously, go to College or Junior games because at least you get what you pay for. The Sabres are an NHL team in name only.

If the NHL expelled the Sabres from the league for failing to meet minimum standards could anyone seriously say it was unjust?

Per "Bus Stop" Brooksie:
Imagine the calamity. I mean, hijinks and shenanigans are one thing, but my lord, the calamity. If only they had depth, and solid prospects ... wait.
My Brooksie story: After Pajama Boy Night he wrote a ***** hit piece on the Islanders fans that managed to get ever detail wrong. A friend of mine who was a longtime usher at the Coliseum wrote him a letter politely explaining the situation and all the things he got wrong in the article. Brooks replied thanking him for the insight and then essentially repeated all the bullcrap in the first article the next day.

If he does that the team won't void the contract, they will simply suspend him without pay until he is cleared to return. If the loophole you described really existed they obviously would've already done it.
