FWIW, Chip staying at Oregon.

Starting on January 19th the Sabres current schedule says Carolina home opener. Bam ba ba...

More Miller: "I am relieved more than anything. Its is hard to feel overly happy or satisfied with the result because of the way in which we arrived at an agreement. I am still embarrassed that we players have such a poor relationship with our league as a whole. It is so poor that we wasted 34 games for each club and have alienated our fans and sponsors. An apology doesn't really help right now but I would like to start somewhere with our fans, especially in Buffalo: I am sorry. There won't be a lot of time for finding ourselves. Maybe that is a good thing for our team.... less time to think, more time to play." It's official. 48 game season starts Jan 19th. No training camps until Saturday.

Speaking of roster.. Who will be captain, assistant captains? Same guys?

One change: BOG meeting will be Wednesday. Don't expect schedule until late Wed/early Thursday.

They were just Cheerios until...

Add McNabb to the ###### the bed list?

I'll go with the latter.

I heard Perry. Have to throw in a second rounder though.

Probably. Leave all the in-conference games intact, substitute in-conference for out of conference, fill up the All Star break...

Maybe you should read the full quote. Buffalo Sabres’ goaltender Ryan Miller said via email, “Now that we have games on the schedule we just need some fans. I know an apology doesn’t make it all better, but it’s a place to start. I’m sorry and I hope that fans will forgive us for the role we played in this lockout. We will show up ready to play if they want to come to the rink and watch.”

Minimum salary will be $525,000 this season and grow to $750,000 for the 10th year. So anything over $800,000 would count, yes. A la Pardy.

Did you all forget how well Ehrhoff played with Sulzer?

They could send out tix tomorrow and are printed like playoff tix. Home Game 1, home game 2, for maybe the first 5 home games. Once schedule is done (already is) and tickets printed, send the rest.

1) BOG meeting on Tuesday should end it. 2) I don't see final-final one for 4 months. Should be a list of changes after BOG meeting. They don't want to share anything until after "next of kin" is notified. Other notes: Players on a one-way contract who play in the AHL with a salary in excess of the NHL’s minimum salary plus $375,000 will have the excess amount charged against his team’s salary cap. Also, trade deadline will be April 5th (tentative)

So he's better at stickhandling now? Or will we see a drop off?

Teams won't be able to do much until the BOG approves the new CBA at their meeting Tuesday. NHLPA taking 'vote' today.

That's because of his eyes ya know.

I questioned Bob McKenzie on the juniors thing. A number of tweets after indicate the GM's have no idea right now.

Should have an idea about Brennan on Wednesday. We'll see if he plays for the Amerks that night. I expect Hodgson and Foligno don't play too.

pinned until draft day

In other news... Raffi Torres is STILL suspended.

Their season ends mid March. Put they still have playoffs after that. Insert Weber for Sekera.

CONFIRMED: They're painting "Thank You Scott Beckenbaugh" on the ice.
