Summer School?


I guess I'm not surprised......

It's not as good as I remember it. They sell it at the stores around here. Crystal Beach Loganberry. I bought some last year. Was very disappointed.

Depends where you get it from... When you go to teds and they make it there it tastes incredible.

Agreed but I don't see Stamkos screwing his new team with having to take a bad contract just to get an extra year. The guy is going to hit it big regardless of where he goes. And even if he signs a 7 year deal, he will be 33 when that deal is over. Who is to say he wouldn't cash in again. Maybe not as big as this contract but I would think he would still have value at that point.
- Matthews_Auston

That's a valid point. But I think you take the guaranteed $10M+ now over what might happen in 7 years. That would be a huge risk for maybe not a large reward, and one year likely won't make too much of a difference in his performance where he;d be able to command a huge contract one year and then almost nothing the next short of a catastrophic injury. But who's to say that doesn't happen in the next 2 days? It's not like it's from 4 years to 7 years.

And Carle's only got 2 years left, and especially for Buffalo where we basically have a grace period of 2 years it wouldn't be the end of the world and in that case you'd be guaranteed to get Stamkos instead of letting him hit the open market where a team could conceivably come out of nowhere.

Stammer also has a NMC until July 1.

Again, Yzerman/TB have next to no leverage.

Stamkos doesn't care about that. If a deal is made to Buffalo ....... or the Leafs ..... or the Wings ............... it will be made with Stamkos' blessing.

Yeah never thought of it that way but makes sense.

Just heard Pierre Lebrun on TSN say once July 1st hits no one can offer him an 8 year deal not even Tampa. Does that sound right??

I try to stay away from sugary drinks. Every now and then I'll get some cream soda in glass bottles, I pretty much refuse pop unless it's from a bottle. It's just better somehow lol. I really love raspberry iced tea, which realistically is just as bad though.
- chilliard77

Dr. Pepper in the new-ish glass bottles is awesome. I remember back in the day when all pop came in glass bottles and they made it with sugar and not this bullpoop corn syrup. Yeah, unless it's unsweetened tea it's just as bad as pop. And who wants that bullpoop?

Here you go. More expensive than a decent 12-pack of beer. But whatever.

Correct, because then he's a UFA. You can only sign your own player to an 8 year deal. And if he's a UFA no one owns his rights.

Edit: Either way it's going to be a poopshow in here when he signs. Unless it's with Tampa I think.

Yeah sign and trade deadline would be 11:59 PM Thursday

So many rules, so many rumours. Just want this to be over. To be honest if he wants 13 mill I hope he goes somewhere else. That's a lot of cap space to eat up for 7 or 8 years.

- fastek

Depending on what the compensation is to TB, why would Stammer hurt his new squad?

That would be nice... can we give them the bag of pucks we got for Kane?
- thatsapickle

Sorry to you and the other Kane hater on this board ..... he's not going anywhere.

Yes.

That is when the league year begins.

Actually it'd be 11:59 am Friday.

Hear hear... The Sabres can have him on those terms.

- Matthews_Auston

Me too, probably. lol

I'm in the minority who's not sure whether it's worth it to eat ~16% of your cap on one guy who has slowed down some.

Hear hear... The Sabres can have him on those terms.
- As_I_See_It

I think he's a great player but I don't put him in Crosby, Kane, Ovechkin, Tavares category.

Sorry to you and the other Kane hater on this board ..... he's not going anywhere.
- fastek

I wouldn't be so sure .. I don't think he's safe at all

- bluengold12

They do? I was thinking it was store bought

I think Kane needs to prove something to have value. Keep him and hope he gets points. If we can get A quality ufa and vesey that could slit him lower and help his production.
- SabresFaninIndiana

Give him a complete, heathy year ............... then judge. That's all I ask.

I think he's a great player but I don't put him in Crosby, Kane, Ovechkin, Tavares category.
- Matthews_Auston

Agreed. You may have to add Malkin, Seguin, Benn and McDavid to that list.

They buy syrup and add water. From where I'm not sure.

- As_I_See_It

Fine with me
