So I've heard that Sabres fans jack up the prices for Toronto games and resell tickets because we're dumb enough to pay it. This true? Kinda smart of it is.

Jacked up Sabres prices are still way less than tickets in Toronto

What's the deal with Mitts? He was an 8th overall pick, he was expected to be great.

Marner for Savoie, 2024 first, 2023 Vegas 2nd and Philly 2023 2nd
- Hank Balling


Not sure I would give them Savoie, though they would probably ask for him, but the rest is a go in my opinion. Not sure the Sabres would go for it. The Leafs would at least have to be intriqued even with a division rival.

of course we do. We can make 3x the money on a seat and a Tonto fan will happily pay it.

Dahlin did an interview with Spittin Chicklets Feb 14th. Good stuff. You can tell he hates Eichel. Just another reason to love him.

Do U have a link or can you summarize how you know he hates captain pubes for hair?

If I remember the interview correctly he says Eichel sent him a suit guy and it cost Dahlin like 20 or 30 grand.

That's pretty accurate.

My friend went to Buffalo for a game in 2019. I really like the arena.

The arena has really take a nose dive in the last few years.

Also don’t ask about the jalapeños.

he was doing great before losing both of his wingers. It was not a shot against Mitts, I honestly don't know much about the guy, only remember he was drafted top 10 but I don't follow the Sabres much. He is only 24, I see on capfriendly he has not played much the past few years, I assume due to injuries?

I think an issue with a Sabres/Yotes Chiqorin trade is the Yotes need a contract back to stay above the floor.

Sabres I guess can send the Bishop but I would think the yotes want a useful body.

- ImThatGuy


Just totally a guess on my part, but if I am the Coyotes I want a player in return in addition to a prospect and a first round pick. Not saying the Sabres would give in to this deal but I have seen Olofsson as the player for this transaction ever since I first saw a trade for Chychrun suggested. There is the salary they need. At least under my view of a possible transaction.

who in the top 9 is most likely to lose his spot via upgrade or prospect in 23-24
- homiedclown


Nobody.

For the 24-25 season however is when it gets interesting.

Not really, no.

Leafs ticket prices have really come down since COVID.

I'm screwing around on Ticketmaster right now - cheapest tickets for tonight are $91.60 each.

You factor in the exchange rate, and that's more expensive than what you would pay for Leafs tickets on a Tuesday night (the difference between weeknight and weekend games is quite big).

If you get a non-rival team on a Mon-Wednesday, you can typically pick up nosebleeds for a Leafs game for around $100 CDN. If the weather is bad, that can be even lower.

And when the NYC team visits, you can always sell a single to the lone Ranger fan.

Yup, you are correct. The arena is a dump and Delaware north food sucks.
