Most, not the Russians and probably some other smaller leagues.

I don't know who Viljami Marjala is, but if the Sabres loose his rights this summer, will anyone even notice?

- Lunaion



Originally no but I think he was recently added to the big club so if he goes on a tear there I might care.

Which is going to be the Sabres 2nd pair Dman in 2026.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Philly will trade him back for that pick if you want to speed things up...you know to the inevitable downfall part.

I remember 05/06, my buddies and I used to go up to ticket sales 30 minutes before puck drop and then later in the season you couldn't get tickets.

This team is giving me those vibes

- Stripes77


Definitely, as you may know I have 10 season tickets, it's hard keeping up with raising the prices on StubHub

Say what you want about the resale business, its definitely harder work when we suck for a decade.

The past decade ive been able to move around the arena, upgrading , even having long time season ticket holder sign over their original seat locations.

Finally some validation, aisle seats ect.

PM me if you are heading to buffalo.
I still have good seats late in the season πŸ™‚

I think Anderson will get all the "we should beat this team regardless of goaltending" games.

Philly, Chicago next week and then probably the Ducks on the 21st.

- Michael Ghofrani


The fun question is does Anderson start another game, like the game against Carolina on February 1st, before the 10 day break.

I'm not exactly sure how that works. I feel like I've seen cases where teams put guys on waivers and still assign them to the NHL teams (outside of TDL paper moves).

I could be wrong.

It's not common because you want guys to play regardless of the league they're in. But for Craig it could be a rare circumstance.

Anyway, expect UPL to be demoted in a day or two.

- TheSabresTaco


You really think the Sabres demote upl?

Wow, unless that's inside stuff, I do not see that happening.

Aside from being 8-1 (or whatever) lately, the vibes are full blown with this guy.

They've been waiting for someone to take control, upl has put his foot in the door and will not let it close on him.

Plus, we have an overwhelming number of games heading our way. Good chance to mix in 3 guys IMO.

I think clague, fitz and elmer are looking over their shoulders. Maybe vinny hinny ?

You see any of these guys getting claimed?

Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season.

The Cardinals still never have had a head coach - any head coach - last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.

I had forgotten its a 10 day break. I guess it depends how the standings shake out.

Then Pegula and Kyvyn were staging the phone call with Taylor Hall.
- TheSabresTaco


You really think their wasnt a plan B in place?

Eichels crying all.over the place, they knew he was an issue. Bring in hall for one more chance.

Ralph probably knew hall was a pile of sh!t. 2 goals right?
Goes right along with losing .

Terry is always down with losing to win.
It's the formula.

The formula is finally working.

I try to keep tabs on all the euro prospects. Their output is much easier to model for projections than CHL/NCAA players. Its also more interesting tbh.

That Kyler/Cliff situation was toxic. Coach was never going to win a power struggle against the QB they just gave a quarter of a billion dollars

They had his rights for 4 years, same as most leagues.
- Lunaion

since he planned on going to school for 4 years

they have his rights for roughly 4 months


they should have to sit a year if they do not want to sign with the team that drafts him


any other league a player has to sit for at least a year

Cliff is a horrible coach. My guy struggled all year with this bonehead at the helm.

Vanek goathead time

- Hank Balling


Good timing for the vanek goathead jersey.

Where you sitting?

There's tickets for $30 still plus fees.
Seems ridiculously low for this product.

I am hoping to get back home around March. The entire family hasn't been up there since August 2020 when my uncle passed away. We are due for a trip home!

I bet arizona wished they could fire Murray too. πŸ€”

Kyler could be the worst nfl contract other then watson.
