Just been keeping an eye on things. With the dust perhaps settling, the following from Mike Rose of the Batavia Daily News seems like the best summary I've seen. The Sabres seem to be stuck in Meh Mode. But let's see what the fall brings. "The Sabres did make several additions that appear to be positives. Michael Kesselring and Connor Timmins should help shore up the right side of the defense pairings, and Josh Doan and Justin Danforth should be quality depth contributors for the forward group. In addition, Alex Lyon provides a solid goaltender to add to the mix. The problem is that most of those moves are along the margins of the roster. With the departure of JJ Peterka in the deal that brought in Doan and Kesselring, Buffalo needed more than that to elevate to a team that can be feared in the Atlantic Division." https://www.thedailynewsonline.com/sports/rose-with-sabres-seemingly-done-making-moves-the-same-philosophical-issues-remain/article_1b8de285-3b92-464c-a5d9-5e585d75faca.html

If they are, it's only on paper, which doesn't mean anything.

I'll let Rick speak for me.

A spool of transactions? A thread?

So close.

Y'all thought KA was lying when this was brought up before.

I will probably break down and pony up for this article. Fairburn should be saluted and supported for being perhaps the only truth teller re: Sabres left. Of course the truth he reported on has been known since almost Day One, but those with a rich guy fetish denied it and made me the villain instead. Correction. Day One. "I like hard-working, gritty players." Within weeks one of the Tweety Bird daughters let it slip her dad was impressed by Ehrhoff in the playoffs. New, old news.

I've told the story about briefly working with a man who (said he) knew Terry well during his Olean days. "He's a nice guy, but he thinks he knows more than he does."

Didn't you mean...

TBN has the scoop, in an erase-the-past Orwellian headline: After a big year in Rochester net, Devon Levi hopes his NHL shot is coming

If I Could Put Farts in A Bottle to the tune of If I Could Put Time in a Bottle was a thing back in the day, but there's scant evidence of it online, at least at first glance. There does seem to be copious evidence of people using the USPS to mail farts in jars. There's a story about how some lovely young gal made a million dollars!

Yeah Thorny pic or it didn't happen! Really, guys, you don't know your fellow poster by now?

Next?

I always hesitate to characterize these people whom we don't really know. For example, Kyke Okposo Good Man. Who knows? We can only go by what we know. Terry might not be mean, but on Day One he went to visit TBN and he went after them. I might never forget how he sat there and scraped the junk out of his fingernails onto the conference room table. Yes, it happened! I think there's a passive aggressiveness to the man. Mean? How about ghosting Sabres fans? Cruel, at the least. And that's not to mention what he's actually done to come close to destroying the franchise. I've always suspected that a change took place when he was booed on RJ Night.
