I mean, what's the point even? 6,700? 71,608 capacity and they won't even let 10% in? Just some quick math shows that if you do 2 seats between each fan and every other row, plus press boxes and luxury seating, you should be able to fit around 10,000 fans in.
- 3rd GM's the charm

Our governor is also attending. Gee I wonder why he allowed fans. So he could go?

And 6,700 isn’t even close to enough fans to make it worth it.

But what ever. Enjoy who ever goes to the game.

Also tailgating is banned.

Waiting to hear it from a more reputable person in the know but I think Chara just signed with the Caps

Oh i miss read twitter then lol. Still a nice deal. If he sucks. He can suck for 800K and it’s fine.

If he signs for more than a year say goodbye to Brown in the off season
- Stripes77

If any player signs right now, no way it’s for more than this year. IMO.

It should make you nervous, but only because you love VO. They did everything they could possibly do to do optimize VO's production last year. The best way to use Hall is in the exact same role.
- Lunaion

Maybe, but not necessarily
There’s tons of examples of teams not putting their 2 best players on the same line

No one has a clue of Hall & Eichel will mesh well together

Krueger says Tage has one of the heaviest shots he's ever seen. Didnt mention accuracy though


- jcragcrumple

Then maybe play him with Staal & Skinner
Let them clean up his rebounds in front....
IF he can accurately get his shot off

I’ve never been a fan of Tage,
so I’ll have to see it before i believe it with him

I'm not a STH but I have friends who opted out this year. Basically, they were given the option to pay this year, and apply to next year if no fans, or wait to pay until next year. Job uncertainty caused him to choose Option B.
- buffalofan19

Yeah, we have some friends that did that. We did option A

Does anyone think Sheahan is making this team?
- Cup Crazy '07

Taxi squad is the right place for guys like him
We should sign a couple more PTOs for it

Maybe he gets a shot at 4C if Lazar & Girgs aren’t looking good there?

- jdfitz77

Why is the taxi squad the right place for Sheahan and not Lazar? Why is Lazar a better player?

If Sheahan is the better player, shouldn't Lazar be the one on the taxi squad?

And 6,700 isn’t even close to enough fans to make it worth it.

the 20 thousand or so of us left in the stadium for the oiler comeback game disagrees

Krueger mentioned on GR today that there will be intrasquad matches on the 4th and 9th. Hopefully they're broadcast in some form

- kingcong39

Sheahan was only signed to a PTO
With no preseason,
it’s gonna be hard for Sheahan to jump over him
But it’s certainly possible i suppose
I just think Lazar goes into camp listed ahead of him on the depth chart bc he’s been here

Highly doubtful

I wonder if we will even get the line combinations. Buffalo media I doubt will even be present for practice.

Top secret training camp like the nfl did?

I am all for game day experiences in areas or stadiums and being at the game. But a more than half empty stadium would depress me.

Hey, cuomo will be there!

You are probably more right than wrong.
They practice at Harbor Center, not KBC, correct?

Assuming so, I could see not allowing outside visitors, given the smaller facilities.
They should Zoom it though so reporters can communicate out to hockey starved fans who are anxious for anything Sabres related.

Tough to say
I’d guess with Covid going on that the media will certainly be limited

- IonSabres

That’s a decent idea
Practices can be pretty boring to watch though if you’ve ever been
Would be cool if they did that for the scrimmages at least though

Peterka with 2 goals so far tonight.

He looks great

Yeah, we have some friends that did that. We did option A
- Buff36

I opted in, rolling it over to next year ... unless ,
A playoff game or 3.

I have to wait until 2:00 on new years . 1/1/21

Interesting stategy for the sth with the most seniority.

Can only go too 1 game, do you pass and hope for a 2nd or 3rd game?
Is it better too be later on the list for that reason?

Bong36 - what's the gig?

I am pretty sure harbor center is locked up and closed right now.
