  1. I'm with you on that. I honestly don't think Pegula meddles in things but he definitely needs help in getting the right people in place. I haven't given up on the GM he's got at least couple seasons to make that evaluation. Coach? That's another thing.

     

     

    Agreed.

     

    Jason deserves some time. Just started. Drafted Middlestat which looks really promising.

     

    Let's see this time next year how things look to truly assess JBOT.

  2. This has been out there a while. It's why football, MMA, and boxing will no longer exist in another twenty years or so, and hockey will be much different.

     

    I think all sports in about 50+ years will be massively different when it comes to consumer consumption. The dawn of the tech era along with e-games, and quite honestly, millennials and younger people have many other interests besides sports. I am not sure if any sport will be able to keep up what they are currently doing in terms of ratings, and ticket sales.

  3. How's the cap unfair? :unsure:

     

    Nevada, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee can sign players to lesser deals and players net the same as they would in states like New York and California. Can be as much as 8-10% savings. So in essence, a team like Tampa Bay can sign another player for say 6-7 million that teams from higher tax states cannot. I believe this was a factor as to why Stamkos was able to stay in TB and take less. He truly isn't netting less.

     

    If Uncle Gary wants to sell this hard cap idea, change the scale so teams like Buffalo aren't hurt by it.

     

    Larry Brooks from the NY Post had an excellent column about this, but darn it if I can find it right now LOL

  4. Just like Skugga correctly pointed about how teams don't think of lines like they used to, I don't think rebuilds are the same either, especially in the unfair hard salary cap era we are in now.

     

    Look how fast the Devils rebounded. And teams also nosedive quick too (Ottawa). Toronto jumped up quick. Yes, there are holes on this roster, but since the cap era produces a product where a lot of teams have a hole here and there, I do think the Sabres can rebound a lot quicker then most would expect.
