Well, that does make him likely in the 4th-8th highest paid range for a term of five years, which is what was reported.

Matthew Lesko, Rob Ray, Billy Fucillo, and Tom "Conehead" Girot. Turns out the dude with the rubber hat is the sane one.

I do want to say this: I think Harrington's been doing a good job the past couple of weeks. He's been doing the heavy lifting in the run up to the draft, and the articles he''s turned in are in thoughtful and leveraged with a familiarity of the history of the franchise. It's not fire and brimstone or burn the house down or here comes the dear lord baby jesus. It's been well-placed straight talk on coaching, GM workings, Rip's accomplishment, draft history, and goals for the draft beyond Dahlin. Inside the NHL: Sabres' Botterill should use caution on trading Ryan O'Reilly (6/9) Housley behind the Sabres' bench: The first year (6/14) Inside the NHL: Sabres mainstay Simonick to get his Hall call (6/16) Key to development: Sabres need to find success through NHL Draft, not just at the top (6/17) Mike Harrington: Anticipation building for Sabres to be atop hockey world at NHL Draft (6/19) Botterill on O'Reilly: 'The interest in Ryan is not surprising at all' (6/19) From Booms to Busts: Sabres first-round history (6/20) Mike Harrington: With critical rebuild ahead, five areas for Sabres to address (6/20)

Taylor Hall just won the Hart and there isn't a single Edmonton fan that isn't livid with Chiarelli.

Sabres Prospect 3v3 Tourney, Season Ticket Holders Only
IKnowPhysics replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
They probably melted the ice and don't have time to freeze it before the tourney. The arena also might not have enough summer staff to get the boards up and down before James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt on the 1st. But I bet they could have done it if they wanted to. BUSH LEAGUE -
This is true, but mostly because there is significant value ROR on this roster as is right now. O'Reilly is the 2nd best player and a legitimately good player on a team that iced a lot of truly awful players. So if another team wants to try to pry that out of Buffalo, it had better be with a big damn crowbar. Otherwise I'm happy to watch ROR play out his contract. Additionally, we're not in a free, open market. We're also not in a hurry; we can afford patience. But for other teams in urgent need, the UFAs are this year, and if a team needs a good top six center, they should expect to over pay.

RON ROLSTON [seizures intensify]
-
It might cause Flyer fan mass suicide, but I'm alright with it.
-
Does Lehner moisten Ron Hextall? If so... maybe. I recounter: Ryan O'Reilly and Robin Lehner for Provorov and the 50th overall pick in the 2018 draft.
-
I counter with one Ryan O'Reilly and the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 draft.
-
I still want Provorov from Philly.
-
That's good stuff from LeBrun. TL;DR: Bergevin just might be stupid enough to give us their #3 overall, Carolina won't trade #2 but might trade Hannifin/Lindholm, St Louis is likely out, Flyers might have prospects the Sabres would like.

IKnowPhysics replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
For the purposes of determining scrimmage attendance, #1C vs #1D is irrelevant. We intentionally tanked for two years, and failed to launch another two, a first overall pick is something people are going to want to see. Why mess around and not open the big house to all? -
I would kick the tires on Panarin Bread. But if he's not willing to deal with CBJ, who made the playoffs this year, I'm not sure he'd be willing to deal with BUF. edit: Let's reconvene this line of thinking in the Trade Speculation thread.

Sabres Prospect 3v3 Tourney, Season Ticket Holders Only
IKnowPhysics replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I am/was about equal on both. But with Jack, we talked it up for months because we were intentionally tanking to get McEichel and we pretty much knew from October. It's not as much fun to talk about when the team untintentionally sucks balls, but I'm still excited for the draft, camp, and start of next season. -
Nice. Prospects aside, Ottawa eats a big salary dump to get Hoffman away from them in the West, then SJ turns right around and dumps Hoffman and his salary back into the Northeast Division.

The Sabres organization was so proud when it hosted 17000+ in 2015. Doesn't make sense not to do the same for Dahlin. Unless... Dahlin trade confirmed, riot-avoidance measure in place. -
Noah way.

I didn't want to bring it up. Bylsma had a Cup and the highest active winning percentage in the NHL when he was hired.

Fuel up the jet.
-
Does this team get better if you trade away Eichel? Bah, I was just posting lazy fortune cookie .
-
No move that improves the last place team out of last place is a clown move.
-
I meant this thinking we would trade up just to pick Tkachuk. Maybe do that trade, then trade down to get Dobson and get another two 2nds, then wield those two 2nds to trade up from 32. ROR + Scandella + SJ1 -> Max Pac + Dobson + MON2 + Slide up from 32 into 20ish territory. Meh.

Wow, what a up.

Thanks for figuring that out.
