we have the highest bid out there as far as I know
- Homer

I'm torn on this one. I understand the sentiment. The Sabres need a guy like that. Shane Doan seems to epitomize everything the Sabres need, so they are going to have to overpay to get him. Still, that's a lot of cash for a 36-year old. I guess I'm in the boat where if he signs here, great. If he decides to go elsewhere out west, it's just as well.

That's the problem though, no matter where you go now there's security lurking right there. I'm starting to think there's more security than actual concert goers.

the furthur show at UCF, people were walking right by the cops smoking joints inside the building

I just it depends on how much they want to crack down on it

just roll a spliff. never fails.

make a batch of brownies

that is ridiculously high if the rumored offer is right
- SabresFaninIndiana

I've heard 6.25M for 4 years was our offer...

the 4 year/30M was never guaranteed to be from us.

it is more on the security.. i don't know how many times i had security just walk by without doing anything.. as long as you weren't rowdy or breaking something they didn't care..

There's an emphasis on it. These municipalities are borderline broke, if they aren't broke already. Each arrest brings out a fine at the minimum. It's a cash grab.

just keeps getting harder and harder for kids. Cops used to drive you ome if you were drunk

Now a days . cops talk to the kids about whats going on and the kids are too busy Texting to pay attention

Just because he hasnt signed doesnt mean avs dont think he is important. Doughty signed late last year, no one thout he was going anywhere.
Besides, Grigo, Girgo, and Hodgson up the middle for the next 7 years wont be fun. For us that is.

yeah but I am ok by having fun as long as someone does not drink and drive

I have never had a run in, made a few mistakes back in the day but all in all be safe and everything will work out just fine

it's amazing how much more fun you can have getting ripped knowing you have a sober driver that will get you home safe

Exactly. If they feel like doing something about it, there isn't anything you can do other than not do it in the first place.

I don't have to worry about that stuff as I'm over the age of 21 and I don't do any type of drugs.

- rustbelt82

Is it worth it though?

The devil's advocate in me says, there's something fishy about a guy like Doan being considered a great leader, and yet he's only been out of the first round once in his career.

its what its gonna take if we want him..........and even as high as it is, its still probably not going to be enough to get him to come here.

I didn't see too many cops. But at the same time, I wasn't located in a really high traffic area in the first place. I would bet things were busier down by the rides and stuff.

He seems to be intent on not leaving Phoenix if he can help it at all. Otherwise, there'd be more movement on this by now.

I don't know that I've ever been so excited to get in my car. I couldn't wait to get into some AC. Being in that heat all night just wiped me out.

Not sure if compliment or something else. . .
- ImThatGuy

That says more about you than it does about the post.

It was a compliment.

true but its the only way we have a chance to get him
- rustbelt82
