Imagine trying to be the Roman empire but expanding farther with less money. Oh. And the emperor is Nero. No. Nero's dog, Playdoh.

Terry and Kim Pegula.

Yeah, Brooks is quite a tool for sure. But my point is that it benefits the NYR to "leak" that info and actively hurts Buf. So one can deduce pretty easily who leaked it for their own gain.

We've never been good at using the media for our own gain.

We are, in fact, not.

If you're gonna suck you gotta be tough

"The Blueshirts have been linked to Eichel since last summer, when then-GM Jeff Gorton had pre-draft discussions with his Buffalo counterpart Kevyn Adams. The talks are believed to have broken down when Gorton refused to part with the first-overall selection that became Alexis Lafreniere."


what does a "proper offer" entail?
- Michael Pachla

That's my word for what has been touted by NY media as "reasonable" trade offer that Adam's contemplated, then rejected...but it was a BS return then.

That is why I'd tell GM Drury..it is only going to get worse with each step along the way. Last time wasn't good enough by a long shot...step it up accordingly

28. I heard on the weekend that there’s a team that offered to extend its amateur scouts — whose contracts expire at the end of this month — a 30-day extension through the draft. That’s rough.

Bet that's Buffalo

They're untouchable or undesirable. There's no tweener players.

Can't be a unique situation. All 31 teams have expiring contracts for July 1. I don't know how the teams are handling those and the draft.

at least the threat...not that any team, especially buffalo, actually uses it but at least it's there
- Michael Pachla

Guys, they have buffalos 2021 3rd rounder. Any offer sheet this year would be for 2022 picks (due to RFA dates and draft dates).

So I don’t care about the 3rd at all. Just want a solid return.

Sure, I get that. Use it if you can. People who give it two seconds of thought understand this though, so it's imperative that KA doesn't panic. If he panic's we're doomed... DOOMED

We've been doomed since our existence was to win the cup or whatever that old raisin said on that dreadful day.

Sounds like it to me. Cut the salary to the floor and sell the team. That or he needs the money to pay Allen.

Seeing as they don’t want to run it properly, it would be the best thing for the Buffalo Sabres

I will throw in the towel if it's the sabres

Turcotte, Valardi, Arthur Kaliyev, Sean Walker and the 8th would do it for me.
- SABRES 89

That’s a perfectly reasonable trade. We get what we need to trade a star, LA gets Jack and still keeps their prize in Byfield.

This for sure. Designing a new stadium sounds like more fun than taking a beating from Sabres fans constantly.

Considering the $ they've lost owning the team

The Bill's are going to be good for a while. Fun future in football ....

the bankrupt team allegedly sold a tad over 13,000 tickets a game

the few times I went, looked closer to 7,000


brace yourselves for those numbers by jan 2022

They will make the money they lost and then some if they sell the team.

Buffalo probably is a top 3 hockey market with a sh!tty team. Just imagine what a competent owner and a highly competitive team would make money wise.

It’s honestly baffling they haven’t hired a coach yet.

Granato is an obvious hire and they are gonna screw it up somehow
