Just saying it could be nothing and it takes someone like Robertson to get them interested.

Nothing against Debrincat, but you can see how that contract situation would scare them off.

Some of us definitely saw how the cat wasn't a good contract situation.
Some of us cried all summer about not getting the cat

Coordinating travel arrangements and logistics for that many people is not an easy job. One company drops the ball and it trickles down through everything.

Sometimes poop just happens.

having 2 wingers making 18 mil total is not a good formula to follow in a cap era
- homiedclown



Skinner - Tage - Tuch
Robertson - Cozens - Quinn
Asplund - Mitts - Peterka
Okposo - Kozak - Z
with Vinnie as a substitute where needed

Our regular 6 D

Comrie for 55 games with a .915 %
Anderson for 27 games with w/e he brings

That's a 90 point team that competes for a playoff spot this season, maybe gets one.

I'm moving Vic and Krebs along with w/e else is needed from picks/AHLers for the trade.

It's not supposed to to professional sports teams. Now, it's preseason, so it's no big deal.

Oh no they had to ride in bus for 4 hours instead of waiting at the airport for 4 hours

When the bills or Sabres charter. They go through a completely different entrance and security. It takes 5 minutes or less to go through.

I can only speak for when I did it, but I was a CBP officer. I worked Prior Aviation almost all 2010. The Sabres - and all NHL teams - flew charters into and out of Prior. This was very well known. There was always about two dozen people when the Penguins were in town waiting for their bus after a game as they walked off it and into Prior Aviation. I have to say, Sid was always gracious to fans and signed most of their stuff.

When did they stop using Prior for charters? Covid?

Also, beyond question, Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk were the best dressed NHLers I saw come through. Both of them dressed like they were on Madison Avenue. Most other guys looked like one of us dressed for a nice occasion.

Charter companies aren't perfect either. For any number of reasons the plane can't fly. There aren't always extras just laying around. On and on and on down the line.
I don't envy the guy that has to deal with that poopstorm.
This is an enomoly at best. Nothing to do with KA learning on the job.

Anders Bjork can’t score because it’s hard, poop happens though so give him a roster spot.

Oh I know. Just stating its really no big deal they had to do this. They're human and they'll live.

If problems occurred, they'll iron them out within the next couple weeks

Oh I get that and understand. But you still had 2yrs to try and probably get a decent haul back if he didn't sign. I really have no problem going and getting Robertson (I Doubt), I just find it funny how people think it's alright now.

I hope the Eichel bad vibes don't go into Tallness now that he bought his former Townhouse. I hope they did a Exorcism on the place.

It would be disappointing if the Sabres are not trying to get Robertson. I don’t know what happens behind the scenes but I think Buffalo really missed out this off-season on some great opportunities.

2003 Eastern Conference Finals game 7

The devil's were in Ottawa and they had bus issues and in the end had to travel to the arena on a school bus and there were train issues in Ottawa which delayed them and was a whole mess


I am sure a 4hr coach trip isn't the worst thing in the world

I’m concerned it wasn’t an electric bus, gas is the worst
