(frank) you, Bettman.

Larry Brooks even had an article on the Sabres and how the NHL had to revise their protocols.

7 days later and they are still adding names

yet only ralph has it


either extremely cautious or very secretive about what is going on


if the sabres players have it, may be time to refuse to play due to how the nhl handled last weekend


beyond mind numbing 8 days later

There is no way they can play their games, especially since this falls directly on the NHL's hands

looks like we may be kicking the tires on Jake Virtanen


sounds like a guy boss would like

I don't know much about him

Does virtanen take pictures with young fans? đŸ€”

Sounds like Vancouver is looking for a shake up.

Seems like a perfect trade partner for the Sabres

Botterill could have signed Skinner for 7-7.5 a year but he waited it out and got stuck.I mentioned that when Skinner signed.

Mark Stone got paid and Skinner wasn't signed yet, there was no way he was getting 7 or 7.5 after Stone signed. Botterill once again starting a fire that can't be put out.

My guess is the players are protected by a HIPAA type agreement.

We'll play, but do not want to be publicly outed for having covid? Unless they want to announce it themselves

Ralph- coach - different rules?

Mighty big assumption that only Ralph has it.

I don't believe teams are allowed to disclose actual positive tests of players.

How do we know what skimmer was thinking?

Maybe he wasn't sure he'd like Buffalo before the time stone signed?

Maybe he wanted to wait to the end of the season?

Just because we should/ could have made an offer, doesn't mean the player would sign the offer.

I assume players are thinking of boycotting. Or at least some are.

OR

a possible law suit.

I think this is going to get very messy.

like NHLPA V NHL type messy and a shut down.

they announced , meaning the nhl, number of players that tested positive and specifically said how many stars players tested positive earlier in Jan


nothing on our players or team other then the coach

did you read Eks headline piece about hte CBJ game and how they handled what should have been a disallowed goal? The league should be overly embarrassed right now and just fold and start over new

yeah I heard about it last night

they are screwing the pooch big time lately


sad part is this is the perfect time to increase exposure as there is not much going on now sports wise, instead they are a joke and nbc would rather talk about soccer

Wasn’t that the same for Danny Briere? Could have resigned him mid season but there was a stupid self imposed “we don’t negotiate in season” rule?!? This organization can just be dumb!

Not happening. Nothing is happening. We will never make another trade, ever again. Forget the rumors. This is our lives as Sabres fans. Deal with it. Enjoy that we just have a team.

Around the time of the trade, both Botts and Agent said publicly they would prefer to wait until after the season was over to negotiate a new deal.
When Skinner was killing it, there was little incentive to negotiate early.

Who's learning from the past ?

John Regis?
Darcy reiger?
Lindy ruff?

It's a completely different franchise than 2007

Should have let skimmer walk, like the past.

Briere was good in Philadelphia , not great
Drury wasnt that good in ny right? Got injured
