wtf - who does the local "newspaper" have covering the Sabres now?!

Lysowski is on the beat until his replacement is announced.  Harrington will continue to cover continue the Sabres as a columist.

So basically Sabres killed him, he died and went to heaven.

Regardless of how the Sabres are playing, don't you think getting an NFL beat is a promotion?

i don’t follow. 

i’m also pretty sure that i don’t want to follow and will regret asking for clarification.

it’s a  mickey mouse move to announce lysowski’s reassignment without having someone on staff to take over the beat.

But you need at LEAST 4 people to cover Bills rookie & invite minicamp.  Just how many people do you need to cover THE draft lottery?  The Snooze thinks, and proably agree with them, that it doesn't warrant a reporter's full output.  Plus, they still have Harrington to opine about it.  Do they really need an entire journalist to opine about such a weightedy matter?  Probably not.

No idea when the Sabres will make whatever changes Friedman hinted at official.  And the draft isn't for another month and a half.  They can probably pull Lance back into the Sabres beat for the day when the 1st occurs and should have somebody else in place by the latter.

yes I do. I think he's literally in heaven right now. Happy to get away from this crap and he can deal with a bigger better team.

And a more prestigious league, even if he were covering the Browns.

I thought you were overreacting to something that happens every day. It's the offseason for the Sabres and Bills, so to have Lance cover both teams while a new Sabres beat writer is hired is perfectly normal. I thought maybe you misread the tweet, saying there would be no one covering the Sabres.
