Campy

I think this every year at this time but man, it has got to be weird signing with a team that just a couple of months before you hated.

"I like the new costume Roysie."

I hear ya - maybe that mnemonic device will help somebody else keep them straight. Either way, it was a day of highs (GMTM) and lows (Kiko then RJ) for Bflo fans. Hopefully the lows turn themselves around in short order!

Learned this back in high school when my mom was sick: Malignant = Mean Benign = Better

Oh... that Murray said it... My bad. But I'd still love to see Turris in blue and gold one day!

Kyle Turris would be awesome but I'm not so sure Ottawa will be too eager to part with him...

Prayers, happy thoughts, and good vibes to RJ and his family.

He has a certain Rain Man quality about him, doesn't he?

I don't disagree with your overall point but the problem is the league has basically castrated Scott by calling him for every-freakin-thing. Also, nobody has mentioned McCormick. He may not make any of us forget about Rayzer or Playfair but at least he's always ready to go when the need arises...

Still in good shape for the tank but better positioned for future success with the moves made today. Murray is the real deal.

Is that accurate?

Arthur Staple ‏@StapeNewsday 1m Thomas Vanek tells me #Isles offer was "a little stronger" than Wild's, but he ultimately went with his top choice. "It was back and forth."

Lauren Brill ‏@LaurenBrill4 1m Source says as of right now Sabres are not talking to Steve Ott.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 2m Moulson has NTC in deal with Sabres

But given your avatar, that's a good thing, isn't it?

No doubt. Buffalo is looked upon much more favorably by hockey people than by the average Buffalonian.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC 1m Other teams wanted Brian Gionta, too. The #Sabres were able to offer years and more money. Oklobzija was in Gionta's agent's office blogging as a fly on the wall http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/hockeyozone/2014/07/01/fly-on-the-wall-for-free-agency/11900167/

Brad May ‏@maydayhockey 3m Buffalo reunites with Cody McCormick.I like the player and person

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC 31s Brian Gionta has joined the #Sabres

Lauren Brill ‏@LaurenBrill4 14m I am told the Sabres are not in talks with Thomas Vanek, Jarome Iginla or Paul Stastny. #FreeAgency #Sabres If it's that obvious, is it news?

Who is Lauren Brill and should I put any merit in her saying she hears Matt Moulson is "strongly considering" Buffalo?

We now have corporations that can dictate the medicine an employee uses to treat migraines and PMS...This whole corporate personhood thing is very troubling to me. But on the plus side, the slide toward the world depicted in Idiocracy should be entertaining. *grabs popcorn

Congrats nfreeman! (and please don't ban me!)

I think he was referring to the guys already in the organization, the guys we just drafted, plus the guys we'll take next year that will be graduating to the big club.
