Someone will have to explain me how playing a lot of games in AHL helps prepare him to be a back up in the NHL. I’ve never hidden the fact that I believe development through any minor league system is old wives tale stuff, however, if you want to tell me he’s staying in the AHL till he’s ready to be a full time starter, I could at least believe there is logic to the move. Being a seldom used backup is more of a mental thing that will not he improved by a stint in the AHL.

I have been trying to tell everyone this was going to be the case and all the push back about how the Sabres had to conserve cap space was just plain ridiculous.

Other than the change in RFA, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for Buffalo. If this team has room for an under 24 winger over the next four years, something went terribly.

The Sabres retain the rights through the extension

Apparently illness.

I am really surprised that there are people who think that player salaries have anything to do with ticket prices. Companies charge what their analyst say will maximize sales and thus revenues irrespective of any expenses.

Tampa used this model pretty successfully. Drafting for skill, trading for grit has worked for multiple franchises

That was a trademark of Lindy’s best teams. Other teams get back in and they responded quickly

This isn’t true unless it just happened this year. Last year several teams simulcast feeds and a few no longer send their broadcasters on the road. EDIT; full disclosure, I’ve only been able to verify that LA, Carolina and Buffalo simulcast. If I find the time, ill do a little more research.

My guess is that the cost of the radio would not be offset by any minimal increase in ratings.

I read somewhere that even the manufacturer was surprised that the “rope” hat has become so in demand among both golfers and the NFL.

How’s that different than the Wilson Foundation giving away $1B? And I’m really asking because I don’t desire to read the details of either. I think they are both registries though.

It still amazes me that people buy into all the rhetoric. The contracts are 95% standardized. Guys sign in free agency in less than an hour. A contract not being signed is the result of an agreement not being reached. There is no way they spend the summer negotiating anything.

Just a response to your saying it’s not any kind of heavyweight.

176 is light heavyweight in boxing
