There will be plenty of room. All the others coming off make those numbers unimportant.

Yep, plenty coming off in the next 2-3 years.

All due respect, but I'm not sure how you can see those contracts as non-issue.

They will all be here (unless moved) when we need to re-sign Eichel and Reinhart

I keep hearing the complaint that we are crippled by being so close to the cap with all our bad value contracts.

Tell me why that has harmed us. What move have we been prevented from making by lack of cap space? With all the cap hit coming off this year, who will we not be able to get.

PS remember We're still carrying Cody McCormick rather than putting him on LTIR.

- Der Kaiser



We're fine with the cap, it's how Murray is going to spend the money that's coming off the books that worries me. He lets his man-crushes dictate his decisions too much. He's not doing what's best for the team long term, but overpaying for guys he remembers being good 3-4 years ago. I'd be worried about his next round of contracts for UFAs, it could really screw this team for years to come.

god damn


is it too much to ask for a team to play 60 minutes?
is it too much to ask for a goalie to be focused between the pipes for 60 minutes?
is it too much to ask for this team, when down a goal in the 3rd period, to stay focused and not take a lazy penalty?

is it too much to ask for a gm to sign players that have a little speed and skill instead of the fransons and moulsons?
is it too much to ask for a coach to be able to adjust mid game instead of having the same blah scheme that isn't working?

god that second period is exactly what is wrong with buffalo teams under pegula ownership


and not a damn thing will be done after this sh!tstorm

best thing now is to tank, finish 28th and hope you win the lottery

then fire the coach and gm

the product on the ice is no better than 2 years ago and the d might be worse

and another thing


is it too much to ask for the bills to get a qb that throws the ball 13 yards on 3rd and 12?

sign vinny, olli and legwand

put 9 names in a hat and draw for the 3 seats to ride the short bus back to rochester


mccabe is not a top pair d man

this team is not close to competing in the playoffs


top pair d man
second line d man

top line winger
second line winger
third line center (gus ain't getting it done and larsson IMO is too slow)
a true 4th line winger to go with deslaurers and COR


a starting goalie

a coach

a gm
