Of course.

Sad way for a guy to go out.

Everyone already got paid their bonuses on July 1st. There are no buyouts until AFTER the season is over.

I don't see a team spending $27 million to buyout Luongo. He'll be going to Toronto.

Pronger reporting for physical but says he knows he won't pass. I think he'll be on LTIR from the get go. Gives the Flyers cap relief. If he retires they'd be stuck with his contract and cap hit since it's a 35+yr old contract.

There's at least 10 teams that have that much cap space even with the drop next year.

Roy confirms Grigorenko will be at camp. He spoke with Darcy and DR said he wants him there and then see if he makes the team. http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/sports/remparts/201301/07/01-4608921-mikhail-grigorenko-ira-au-camp-des-sabres.php

My guess is after the BOG approves the CBA on Wednesday.

Under IIHF rules, if they have a current NHL contract they have to come back. They could challenge that rule but I don't think it changes.

Camp can't start at the F'NC Saturday. Bandits are playing. Maybe Amherst rink? I dunno. Just wanna type the letters GDT.

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.
