If I had to speculate, Pinto had betting accounts to bet on other sports, which is allowed by the CBA. Then someone else with access to his account (like a friend) bet on one or more NHL games, it got flagged, Pinto had to prove to the NHL he didn't direct those bets, and couldn't do so convincingly.

It's clear not all of the information is released, but it is very telling that the NHLPA negotiated to and agreed with the 41 game suspension. TSN has also reported that the issue surrounds proxy betting: The league simply can't allow its players to bet on games, nor do they want the perception that they're lenient on the issue, especially if they're trying carefully navigate the massive cash grab that is sports betting advertising revenue.

ALL HAIL MAGIC JERSEY

Throughout history, the whipping boys have been one top nine forward and one top four defenseman. From Donald Audette and Richard Smehlik through Jochen Hecht and Robyn Regehr to Victor Olofsson and Henri Jokiharju, this is the constant. It's... predictable.

IT'S TIME FOR SABRES HOCKEY

Kevyn Adams staring at Devon Levi next June:

Oh, it is. Our monkey brains just haven't unpuzzled it yet. Get on board. We have quality nerds in the front office now and they run this ***** now.

This is by far the best approach. Lock your 1OA Dman at <$8.5M before he wrecks ass this season and demands more next season. Avoid the bridge contract altogether. Buy some years of FA. Get this core locked in and build around them. Leave enough cap flexibility for the other pieces. It was the same move with Tage. Tage, Cozens, Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson now all onboard through 2030 for $37.88M total AAV. By 2027-28, the cap will cross $100M and Kevyn Adams will be looked upon as a god damned savant. Whoever is providing guidance to him on cap management is the person of the hour.

Best term. Acceptable cap hit now, good cap hit by year three. Slightly cheaper than Karlsson and tied with Doughty for the #2 spot. Justafiably more than next few D (Werensky, Fox, McAvoy, etc). Both Karlsson and Doughty contracts were signed in 2019 when cap was $81.5M; cap is now $83.5M. That's only 1.25% cap growth, because covid. NHL revenue grew 16% (~5% annual) to $5.93B in 2021-22 from $5.09B in 2018-19. Grew 24% from 2016 to 2019 (~8% annual). NHL MOU limits cap growth to 5% per year. As we're coming out of the covid pit with multiple new TV contracts, we might see that 5% growth for the next three years or more. By year three, a player with Dahlin's $11M AAV in today's money would sign for $12.7M in 2026. The value would be like Dahlin signing for $9.5M today. I think this contract gets Dahlin paid what he's worth AND is team-friendly by mid-contract. Also, apologies in advance for a sad note; I think that's the first video highlight package I've ever seen with zero RJ calls.

Bisons fun fact: Long time Bisons broadcaster and Buffalo baseball HOF member Duke McGuire was one of the teammates in The Natural. https://buffalonews.com/news/mcguire-a-natural-for-hall-bisons-longtime-voice-behind-the-microphone-is-baseball-royalty-in/article_46411e6c-4b14-5032-9e03-d2ebca699542.html

We have our grandmother's cable logins for streaming, normie.

Al Michaels for SNF. Bob Uecker honorable mention for MLB.

That's why. That's also why.

Greatest play by play of all time, now and forever. He was a kindly grandfather to us all. The people of Buffalo will remember forever.

Dollar beer and chili dog night at the Cyclones game was a sincerely excellent time. Bonus: got to watch Sabres training camp MVP Vasily Glotov light it up.

KEEP GOING I'M ABOUT TO PRIMARY ASSIST

Kevyn Adams: How many NTDP players should we sign? Don Granato:

A+ value at 13. Most rankings had him at 5-6 overall, with some others in the 3-9 range.

Zero tolerance for intolerance.

Request @SDS change nill's user status to "I welch on bets."

Were the Capitals going to sell out game one of their preseason otherwise? Attendance at their last preseason opener was 12527, or 68%, and that was after they made the playoffs the previous year (they didn't this year). If they stopped Bills fans from attending, they'd lose out on beer sales totaling -checks math- $100 Trillion dollars.

Hahaha, that's ***** stupid. Capitals should shift that game to 7:30pm, then everyone can roll down the Blue line to the arena after the football game.
