He has cleared waiver once already. I'm guessing he'd clear again. If I were Terry I would keep in the organization and pay him well whether he played, coached or just sat around. That kid has given as much as a guy could give.

 

 

I wonder also if another NHL squad would change their opinion on him. Does he have value outside of buffalo?

 

My gut says that last seasons suspension was a special case.  The league wanted him down in the A, if not out altogether.  I really think there was an agreement among the teams to let him pass through waivers.

...or the league.  Poor guy, he's getting married, too.

 

It seems like he has outlived many similar players.  There's no shame in that.  I've never been a fan of him and his style of play, but I will readily admit that there are countless hockey players out there who would kill for a chance at the career he has had so far.

Yep. If he was smart, he made more money than I will in my lifetime so he can live out the duration in middle-class style.

A slight tangent here, but I've always been confused by the thought of buying a drink for someone who has far more money than you do.

Never understood it myself in the fan worship sort of realm. But there seems to be a need in many to be associated w/ greatness/coolness no matter how tangentially.

I see it as "You've provided me enjoyment in the past, let me buy you a drink so I can provide you some enjoyment."

LOL almost word for word what I said to Barnaby once after seeing him in the same establishment.

That's how I see it too. I bought Rick Jeanneret a beer at Buffalo Brothers pizza a few years ago when the Sabres Road Trip was held in Raleigh. I'm sure he was already drinking for free courtesy of the Restaurant but I bought him one anyway as a token of my appreciation for the guy.
