Just how much do you think Ennis is worth? He has a 5 year 23 million contract as of last year. That's less than 5 per. ROR will make about 7 per.

And how much do you think MacKinnon is worth in that case? He's underperformed this year and will make around 5 once his rookie deal is over.

Edit: Maybe 5 is a tad low but unless he lights it up next year he isn't going to get 7x7.

Ennis is 4.6 for 4 more years, ROR will get more then he's at now and McKinnon will get around 5-5.5. They can't pay ROR almost 7 and give McKinnon 5.5 it won't work. They have over 2 mill in cap space at it is now and there D is very weak. You will see the other 1st we got left going in a deal for ROR plus a forward and a D man.

Edit again: Also, Briere, Iginla and Tanguay will all be gone within a year or 2 and that's an extra 10 million gone there.


I edited this part in^^^

But by all means, it looks like ROR will be gone this summer. Briere won't be back and Tanguay has 1 year left on his contract. They overpaid Iginla big time but he has 2 more years left on his deal.

So with Briere and ROR gone this summer, that's already 10 million free. They trade for Ennis, Tanguay's contract is up by the time they need to resign MacKinnon and they still have about 10 million to work with to sign or trade for a couple of D.

I said earlier, it would be asinine of Colorado to not want a D prospect/player back in a deal for ROR, but they could still trade for Ennis, Freakorenko and a D while freeing up cap and not resigning Briere and Tanguay once their contracts are up and get a couple more D in FA and be fine.

These idiots are all up in arms because a woman from WIVB wore a cowboy hat and boots to the Garth Brooks press conference today

I just cannot believe some of the tweets I'm seeing from local media over Garth Brooks' presser. Fawning is us. Make it stop. Please.

@BNHarrington I am not perfect by any means, but what I saw there today is an embarrassment to our profession and our community.

Chris Moran ‏@cmoran26 23m23 minutes ago
@pham1717 @BNHarrington please enlighten me. I know Harrington hates his life but for u. Just wondering what's going on. Not country fans ?

@cmoran26 @pham1717 Zero to do with the music. Media should not be fawning and "dressing in costume" for a press conference.

It's "NHL town". Buffalo's ratings for college hockey (not shown in that article) are dwarfed by Minnesota and North Dakota. Just like Cleveland rules the NBA, but Louisville rules College Basketball.

There is no way Murray will give up Ennis, Gringo the other 1st we have and a Dman for ROR and maybe a pick, won't happen.

Harrington hates Lauren Marie Hall, who also is in-house FNC PR spokesperson for Sabres' games ...He is constantly complaining on twitter to shut up the screeching announcer... real classy guy

We don't really have a big time college hockey program. Canisuis and Niagara have well respected programs, but they don't have community wide support. Most people just follow them through the 11 O'clock news. Even with Harbor center, I really can't see Canisuis taking off to becoming a destination event in buffalo. UB has a good ACHA team(who is at the nationals as we speak), but they will never have a big time venue.
