Girgensons wanted to play in buffalo, Perry probably not.

And you would rather have Perry than girgensons?

Draft baker josh sucks
Cut bass he had a bad week 3 as a rookie kicker
Perry over girgensons

I see I'm on your daily target list today!

Perry is what, 35?
Still outproduced Girgs in his best season, playing in 12 less games, lol .. now at 1/3rd the cost.
Had 9 pts in PO's, how many did Girgs have?
Girgs is a good 4th line winger at $1.4m for 1 year. Above that, it is poor management.

Bass, did suck absolutely bad ass early...as My comments stated back then; he needed to clean it up soon, especially in the 30-39 yard category where he was 50% or it would cost the Bills. I stand by it...moreso, very happy to see he did so and is enjoying success. He is at ~81% FGM. A hell of a climb out of being 32 of 32 kicker ranking by %. He'll be a good one...still makes me nervous when kicking from 30-39 especially from the right side.

Let's see where Baker stands after 5 years and enjoying competent Coaching...you know, like Josh has enjoyed with Daboll...I do wonder if Daboll has helped Josh in his development.

Boss -
Mayfield sucks cause he couldn't win with half his O-line and his top 4 receivers out...coach even stated HIS gameplan went out the window due to short notice (24 hrs) and not having enough time to adjust the gameplan with practice squat receivers. Jets, with good Dline, sit on the run game and force Mayfield to throw to guys who saw the game plan less than 24 hrs earlier. (Makes me wonder if that impacted the game in any way.)

Girgensons is great, 5th leading goal scorer...justifies 37% raise when his line partner thought to be a set-up marvin signed for $1m less, lol.

Dahlin sucks, only had 4 goals

Sam sucks

I go to games and am a STH...I know more than everyone...still my all time favorite

Keep it real Boss.!

I think the opposite. Instead of crying, stomping your feet and screaming "not fair" like a spoiled toddler, be one of the smart teams and use it to your advantage.

And the notion that the NHL is the only league where teams get "creative" to stay cap compliant is laughable.

The problem is Kucherov. If he's healthy for a single day of the regular season, then the rules say he has to come off LTIR. They can't possibly handle that, without further abusing LTIR. When he's magically healthy the next day, everything is fine and they ice a team that is 10m over the cap.

Their plan is literally for guys to stay on LTIR all season, when they could potentially return. That aspect is a joke and blatant cheating.

How do you keep track of this stuff, lol.

Boss actually has some decent takes, he's just a homer that clouds his objectivity on certain things.

I enjoy busting his chops only because he comes on very strong with his opinion and says some really outlandish things.

I've seen some great comments on that tweet

Lots of stripper jokes in there

A few "I wonder if he waved back" jokes

I mean the dude didn't take his job seriously at all

The #Sabres will be down at least one defenseman for the upcoming campaign. It was announced on Sunday that Casey Nelson has opted out of playing in the 2020-21 season. More details here:

I missed that one

Good stuff ion

A+

Baker wasnt just bad yesterday.
Lost to the jets, hasnt made the playoffs in his 3 years. Currently anyways.
Excuses about player personnel aside, he fumbled that game away. Fumbled the playoffs away possibly.

Josh allen playoffs last year and this year. Fact.

I know it's hard to catch the Sabres live when your out of state. Fans and scouts absolutely see more in person, otherwise the boxes wouldnt be packed with scouts at the trade deadline.

You , your giant tv and giant brain watch what the camera shows you. Period

I'm not saying I know more than others, as I have an opinion like other average fan's.
I'm able to see more of the game (live) and able to watch what happens behind the plays ect. Off camera.


Scouts would watch the Bradentonscout1961 version if they didnt see more in person, wouldnt they.

You have room on your couch for don Luce?

Having a healthy player on LTIR is breaking the rules. The system of having the team make that determination is just asking to be abused, and it has been.

"working"


Eh but seriously unless something drastic happens like a goalie being made available for a low price I just don't see anything happening

There have been moves obviously, I just dunno seems like this is going to be a cluster of a season

I dunno, my expectations are very low

Pegula bashing - yacht jokes
Terry has a poker face

I'm proud to be a season ticket holder. I'm loyal.

You make stuff up, pretend you're in the "know"
That's really an interesting posture around here.

And you want to swallow sam reinfart whole.
Swallow his entire body. Down your throat

Also an odd posture for an slightly above average player ?

Any taxi squad guesses ?

I think you must have 1 goalie, so that's probably Tokarski. Maybe Johansson ?

Mitts, Borgen, Davidson, Quinn (for 9 games ?) ? Maybe Bryson ?

Personally, I want Mitts on the regular roster instead of Rieder, but I don't think that's going to happen.
