$11 million cap is tough for the Bills to handle right now, would help out Allen a ton, but I think they need OL and WR first

Was already surprised he survived all of cuts and changes at the BN over the years. Sounds like his colleagues hated him, who had his back? or is this just tenure and union stuff?

Rumor is Harrington was a rat to many of his former colleagues to keep himself employed.

not sure the Bills should be spending 16.4M on one running back in a cap crunch.

It's $11 million but your point remains the same!

I'm not advocating against him, but there are a lot of quality forwards that are going to be available when the Sabres pick.

The NFL salary cap is more confusing than LTIR cap relief

That draft pick. 🤢🤢

Another tiny forward.

I absolutely see that happening.

Skipped right by the stats, eh?

Not in the first round. Too many quality forwards.

Green light after that.

With the season McDavid is having..... very hard to justify this for a self proclaimed hockey market. Very hard.

This team trashed this areas passion for hockey starting in 2012 and it carried strong right through the Krueger years.

If you had to write a script on how to demoralize a fanbase and city completely, just follow what the Sabres did through that time.

Here is someone who understands hockey.

One thing I noticed from watching Hornqvist and Lomberg and Gudas joining the Panthers.
The “attitude”, or whatever you’d call it, is contagious. For whatever reason, the team as a whole followed to some degree. For whatever reason, whether emulating a respected veteran player or maybe taking notice of the fan-love (and the increased ice-time) Lomberg playing his ass off generates. The other players will all follow to some extent.

Henry needs a functional o-line to get up to speed to be effective. The Bills don't he'll get hit in the backfield to often and that YPC will plummet.

1 and half seasons of inconsistent exciting hockey is not going to draw back a full arena for a Monday night game.

This team needs to make the playoffs or at least be right there till the very end.

Big Game tonight. Why is it a Big Game? Because it's the next game.

Do we know if Greenway will be in the lineup tonight? Maybe he'll have the impact like the guy they got from the Sharks. Bernier that's it. The Bear. Scored 2 goals in first game then didn't score again. Was an 8-4 drubbing vs. a Western Conference team.

Correct. Although I just checked the map on Ticketmaster and the game is pretty well sold. Mostly just upper 300 tickets and corner lowers in the shoot once end.

Mike Harrington
It was eight years ago next month a bunch of us hockey media types gathered in a conference room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Toronto. One lone TV and a dais sat starkly at the front of the room.

Franchise fortunes were about to change in the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery. Truth be told, everyone in the room knew those who covered the winning team would have a much busier job on their hands too. Connor McDavid brought hopes of Stanley Cup dreams – and a lot more chaotic dressing room every time he visited Canada.


The start of the story Mike Harrington had prepared for BuffaloNews.com in the event the Sabres won the NHL Draft Lottery on April 18, 2015.

Reporters got ready for the night's proceedings by writing their if-their-team-won-McDavid story in case the lottery balls fell their team's way. In my case, I had a McDavid story and a Sabres-lose-but-will-get-Jack-Eichel story ready too. The Eichel story, of course, was what we used once I filled in the blank that Edmonton was the winning team.

McDavid has been just as generational as everybody said. Obviously, Eichel's career has been on a much different path. But he has been hot of late as the Vegas Golden Knights took a one-point lead over Dallas Sunday in the Western Conference by beating Montreal. McDavid's team is chasing Eichel's in the Pacific Division, sitting six points back.

But as individuals go, the entire world is chasing McDavid this year.

We'll get an up-close look Monday night at 7:30 as The Greatest Show on Ice hits KeyBank Center when the Sabres host the Oilers (too bad it's only on ESPN+ and Hulu).

Buffalo took Sunday off after Saturday's win over Tampa Bay, but the betting here is the coaches got together for a skull session on McDavid, who has already lapped the field in this year's Hart Trophy race.

McDavid leads the league in goals (52), assists (70) and points (122), and has a 26-point lead in the scoring race over teammate Leon Draisaitl (41-55-96). He's every bit the star people thought he would become in the spring of 2015, and it's why folks in places like Chicago, Columbus, Anaheim, Vancouver and Arizona hope their lottery luck comes through next month when the draft order is established to select Connor Bedard.

Bedard's stats this year in 47 games with Regina of the Western League: A generational 59 goals, 64 assists and 123 points.

Still, my longstanding reminder that nothing is automatic: Whoever wins Bedard will have to figure out a way to build a team around him. The Sabres failed to do that with Eichel, and it has taken a long time to get enough help in Edmonton for McDavid and Draisaitl. GM Ken Holland got a big addition at this year's deadline by dealing for veteran defensman Mattias Ekholm, a key player on Nashville's 2017 Cup finalists.

Edmonton harbors Stanley Cup dreams but still has questions on defense and in goal. And it's notable to point out that last year's four-game sweep at the hands of Colorado in the West final is as far as the Oil has gotten in the playoffs with McDavid. Last year also marked just the second time in his seven years they even won a series.

Now 26, McDavid is on a 67-goal, 156-point pace. The point total would be the most in NHL history by a player not named Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux. McDavid needs one point Monday to tie his career high of 123 points set last year.

McDavid had a streak of five straight multi-goal games snapped in Saturday' loss in Winnipeg. It was the first such streak in the NHL since Alexander Mogilny did it for the Sabres in 1992-93.

"Sometimes it just goes in," McDavid mused Wednesday after his two goals over Toronto. "I felt like I was playing good hockey before and it just wasn't going in for me. You kind of get a bounce and it seems to go in for you. It is a funny game that way."

The Sabres are 8-4-1 against McDavid since he came into the NHL. Oddly enough, some of his least productive games, by his standard, are against Buffalo.

He has only four goals and 12 points in 12 games against the Sabres, and his 1.0 points per game are his second-worst against any team (0.86 vs. St. Louis is his worst).

Good luck to the Sabres slowing McDavid down in this one. They need the two points – no matter how many points No. 97 gets.

Quick hits

• You wonder if the Sabres go back to back with Eric Comrie in net for the first time since early November. Comrie has won four straight and is an Edmonton native who stoned the Oilers by stopping 46 of 48 shots in Buffalo's 4-2 win Oct. 18 in Rogers Place.

• Buffalo's morning skate Monday will be our first look at forward Jordan Greenway, acquired Friday from Minnesota. The Sabres have an interesting decision about who to take out of the lineup. The initial thought might have been Vinnie Hinostroza, just back from Rochester. But he has scored twice in four games and provides plenty of spark. You wonder if Victor Olofsson, with no goals in 13 games, might be a better choice to take a seat for a game or two.

• The Sabres (32-25-4) are one win away from passing their victory total of last season, when they were 32-39-11. They have not won at least 40 games in a season since going 43-29-10 in 2010-11, their last playoff campaign

Just saw Carr is going to the Saints. UhhOhh. That might mean Jets are getting A-Rod.

If they bring him down.

When I see his hot streaks in Sportscenter highlights mid-season I always wonder how that team will be stopped. Surely they'll be in the AFC Championship game and they're never close.

He would force teams to respect the run which would make defending Allen's arm really difficult.

I've always wanted him on the Bills

Apparently nurse and Greenway have a little bit of a feud going on, so that could be something to watch for tonight.

Espn+ game for the best player in the world. Total amateur hour

- Boss34

Rodgers is done., not to mention that cap hit... Lamar ehhhh... good running QB, bad at throwing.

Greenway's so big he just bulldozers guys.

Love to teach him how to fight.
