I hadn't read this one til now (sorry if it's a re-tread):

Bob McKenzie: “The Sabres are willing to buy first round picks by taking on big salary and then giving that player a compliance buyout” … “Tim Murray has let that be known to other teams”

Plural means they'd be interested in doing that multiple times...which would mean Leino will still be here.

Its kind of weird that this is what the new CBA has become. But the rules are the rules and Murray is smart enough to figure out to use them and P-dawgs cash to benefit the team, so be it.

I'd love to see that Fkkr sent to Rochester, but he'd probably mess up the kids.

That is putting your money where your mouth is ! Quick skeptics find a negative with this !

I think the only skeptics would be other teams' fans who are jealous of Buffalo's ability to do it.

Obviously the topic has been around here for the last day or so, I just hadn't seen McKenzie's direct way of stating it til now.

I am sure Leino is gone . He is offering that deal to the highest bidder . Start lining up all the GM's that had to make that big splash free agent signing !.

No patience Grasshopper . They will rear their heads in here . You should know by now that some here do not think the Sabres can not do anything right ! No matter how well thought out !

Maybe he has a trade partner for Leino!?!?!?!

Speaking of, I just read an article where someone was suggesting Detroit "pull a Murray" and offer Tootoo+ for Leino and Ehrhoff so the hit on a compliance buyout would be smaller....

Go for it Tim Murray! There has been talk of the Sabres trying to get multiple first round picks in 2014 and this would be a great way to do it without giving up too much. Do this once and trade for another...Boom.

So Brad Richards could end up being a Sabre for a day

Is a day long enough to teach people what it means to be a Sabre (compliance buyout) ???

So the Sabres have now become a cash for gold institution. Well done.

Sounds like our buddy Donald Sterling really is going for a fight:

Normally, I don't condone this sort of mudslinging, but if these investigators do find other owners guilty of this stuff, I can't say I blame the guy.

I thought someone can't own both an NHL and NFL team.

If that's the case, and T-Pegs successfully buys the Bills, what happens to ownership of the Sabres?

Darcy Regier will be named the Phoenix Coyotes GM and will aggressively pursue Ville Leino, Brad Richards and Vinny Lecavallier--@Pierre Mcguire

Go yotes! what a fourth line!

Good for him, actually. I haven't followed it too deeply to know all he said, but it's despicable. However, there's no way in hell that he's the only one ever to say such things in private...so I hope he can defend himself in that way.

Get picks and as many as you can in the first round this year especially with the picks you have next year. Its the ultimate pawn shop

In typical NHL fashion the league will change its rules after we do this once.
