I want no part of Neal. I’d rather take a lesser return instead of him for two years. 👎

I can’t find the post from earlier, but was Ralph really in the top 5 paid HC’s? If so, he really was a con man. What the heck was on his resume that would have caused the Pegula’s to agree to that contract demand?

Every time I look at this thread title I see RIP, but I think RIP RIP...and wonder what happened to Rip Simonick. Sometimes I wonder what is going on inside my head. 😂

Not worse than Kucherov being on LTIR all year, and then allowed to come back for the playoffs when there is no salary cap! That is BS and the league should step in and put a stop to it.

I just hope they don’t accumulate picks and then just start pissing them away on draft day to move up to take a prospect who has a 50/50 chance at best to make it. I’d rather they pick up to 10 players and hope for a gem.

Hmmm...who am I to judge, says the 60 something balding somewhat overweight guy. 😂

What am I missing?

See ya!

Don't know much about his style of play, and based on past years, he seems like a 30-35 point player(over an 82 game season) who is on an expiring contract. Give him 20 games, and if he is an improvement over some of the garbage we currently have in the bottom six, re-sign him to a deal for next year.

Yes!

I would take Savard every day of the week over Montour. In fact, he is the perfect guy I'd like to see signed as a UFA this summer...assuming term of only 2-3 years. Pair each of McCabe, Savard, and Borgen with Bryson, Dahlin & Joker. Not sure where Risto fits into next season in this scenario.

Imagine a bizarro world where the Sabres acquired Pelech and Pulock from the Isles in addition to having Risto and Ruotso? They both may just jump from the press box.

Even when I tune in to watch a little bit of a Sabres game, I find myself to be looking at my phone, flipping channels, on my computer, etc... It’s nothing more than background noise, and I blame Terry and Kim for that.

Upcoming schedule gets tougher again. This season can’t end fast enough😞

That was my point. I didn’t say all tix would be $50. I was speculating that they would start around $50.

I haven't paid attention in recent years, if you get the MLB TV package(or whatever they call it), are the Cleveland and Toronto games still blacked out if you live in WNY?

Sure! I was just focusing on all the pending UFA's, but if anyone wants turds like Eakin and Miller...their one way tickets out of Buffalo are ready to go, just awaiting destinations.

I hope to attend at least a few games. I'm guessing tix will be $50 and up? Steps need to be taken to keep brokers/scalpers from sucking up all the tix.

There is zero reason why the following players should still be Sabres when the TDL clock strikes zero... Hall Montour Reider Sheahan Ullmark(if he has stated he will not re-sign w/the Sabres) Irwin(bag of pucks and a stale soft pretzel?)

I really hope Hall is traded today or tomorrow. Don't wait until too many teams fill their playoff roster holes.

He is trying to turn himself into the next great interviewer. This combined with his working from home, and his number of "live hours" per week continuing to be reduced, has turned off this long time fan.

Blame the dopes that hired him. Of course no one outside of the inner circle know who pushed for Ralphie...Pegula’s or Botts?

Wife and I getting our 2nd doses this weekend. While I know we still have to be safe, it will feel so much better knowing we have been vaccinated.

Should I know who these two people are?

^^^ This. All this talk of Adams needing to show that he won’t be taken advantage of is nonsense. Take the best offer regardless of how little it is, and move on. Better something, than nothing.
