Olives stuffed with blue cheese crumbles is my fresh hell. I'd rather eat a can of wet dog food

this is on the owner wanting him moved before the bonus was paid

guess he didnt feel like drilling again, rather count his money

the return would have been much higher if they waited a week

I agree with you, I don't know for fact, but I stated earlier about how IMO the circumstances certainly back a case to be made about Jason's hands being tied...and he had to make a deal before the Bonus was payable on July 1st ... Army called Jason's bluff and forced a sub-market-value trade (no Thomas, no Kyrou, take cap dumps to offset the Bonus)

Interestingly enough, from an article on The Athletic about the trade...

“We were hoping to get it done at the draft,” Armstrong said amidst the on-ice Cup celebration. “The draft is an area where you have assets. We had a first-round pick. We weren’t able to get anything done there. We tried during the talking period but still couldn’t get a deal done. So we went out (July 1) and solidified our forward position getting (Tyler) Bozak and (David) Perron.”

And that might have been it, but Botterill called again later on July 1. Finally, the pieces fit together.


His hand was forced by The Pegula's deadline around the July 1st Bonus Date.

More than smoke here.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will turn to face my fear and allow it to pass over and through me, and when I turn around my fear will be gone. Only I will remain.

Spite? Possibly. More likely his ego. Not wanting to pay someone $7 million to not play here...again.

But how many coaches is he paying not to coach here? How many players is he still paying not to play? HeII how much did he pay Moulson to play in the Ahl, for another team....

Since the Pegulas took over both the Sabres and Bills, both teams have been at several
Points been the butt of jokes for their respective leagues.

That is where a lot of the anger comes from.

The trade of ROR is not the issue, it is the return, or lack of. How can people not see this?

I get it. It’s one reason I believe in what Hommie has mentioned a number of times, the Pegula meddle. Yes, they saved the teams, forced development of the city (which is amazing), but they’ve been told by consultants to back off the team interference, hire your hockey and football people and let them hockey and football.

I hope they are still “learning”. And I do like the direction both teams are going, currently...

When trying to get the attention of your server, do not throw your stool at them. Simply make eye contact and perhaps use a subtle hand gesture

Throwing your stool at your server will result in immediate disqualification of dining privileges

It's four o'clock on a Thursday
The regular crowd chiming in
There's a commenter typing next to me
Crying over ROR's bearded chin
He says, "Son, can you play me some highlights
Which ones? I'm not sure that I know
But they're sad and they're sweet and I knew them complete
When ROR wore the blue and the gold"
La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the faceoff man
Sing us a song tonight

That is possibly why the bigger name coaches wanted no part of the Sabres job

Q. AV. Etc ..... not a single whisper of them coming here. Because Mclellan was talked about only because his son was in buffalo for the Final 4
