That Aud Smell

Lol, Harrington relying on @PromoTheRobot for content. Either that or Promo is Harrington’s screen name here. That seems unlikely, though. Harrington’s a hack, but be doesn’t generally carry water for the Sabres FO.

Yeah - gimme gimme.

Jeepers. That is the very definition of effing around and finding out. Gotta protect yourself.

Repin the thread, please.

why does this thread keep getting unpinned?

blocking works wonders.

Gimme Buddy Nix selling Super Mario on the drought Bills.

Where's the video of him whacking Luke Adam in the helmeted head with an errant stick? @Ghost of Dwight Drane still has it clipped, i am sure. Dating back how far? Messrs. Roy and Pominville would like a word.

Thanks for the re-pin. You know “why,” so I’m not sure why you’re asking.

peeen eeeet, please.

i think he said it twice today.

A fair conversation to have. Yet those payroll #s make clear that Florida makes do with league-minimum (or close to league-minimum) guys for the bottom 8 slots on their roster (~4-5 forwards, ~2-3 D, 1 Goalie). So they ARE emulating Florida! This got a couple of LOL reactions. I'm not sure I was kidding? Maybe I was - but didn't realize it.

yo - how'd you embed that video without an apparent YouTube link?

We need this re-pinned. In support of the re-pinning, I post here a photo taken 6/30/2025 that just infuriates me. Our team's owner thinks he knows puck, folks. And that is why the Sabres continue to struggle.

No idea who this guy is (Jonathan Willis), but this was a very interesting (and fairly quick) read regarding how Florida's gone about putting together the best team in the league. https://corsiknight.substack.com/p/stop-wasting-money-on-depth-guys Here's his conclusion: The upshot of all this discipline is that the Panthers are able to fill the bottom eight slots on their roster for just $7.725 million. With most teams running a 22-man roster these days, that gives the Panthers a total of $87.775 million for their other 14 players, an average of $6.27 million per player. It’s how Florida affords 11 players making more than $5 million/season, with six of them north of $7 million/season. The Panthers have simply shaved every penny they can at the positions that don’t really move the needle, so that they have dollars to give to the guys who do. Low taxes and sunshine are great, but every team has to come up with a roster under $95.5 million. It’s a much, much easier task when the general manager is willing to be ruthless with the depth guys. +++ This leads me infer that maybe all that bargain bin shopping yesterday by the Sabres was an effort to emulate Florida?

well, what’s scott morrow?

fooled for sure. remember how fast and aggressive the ‘24-25 4th line was gonna be? they got funking trucked.

gross

Pin it, please! I mean if Ryan Johnson's deal gets pinned ...

some good news. what a fine player he turned out to be.

good for him. even if he regresses - he's a fine player.

excellent - thanks. also: nice job, pete.

Good eye. But now I've re-read it a couple times. How do you see it both ways? I see it as a pile of mush. But I can't make it mean anything clear.
