Yeah, this was discussed upthread a week or so ago. It ended up in a pretty big argument.

He's probably talking to Vogl. Seriously, though, Vogl has a lot more experience in the business than Lysowski has. It wouldn't surprise me if Vogl were correct.

That conflicts directly with TBN's report that Sinclair, Bandura, and van Rysdam had been laid off, not fired. Same...

A source told The Buffalo News that Sabres General Manager Jason Botterill is among more than three dozen employees who took a temporary tiered percentage pay cut. Missed opportunity.

I was so irritable on Easter Sunday that I didn't bother with a special meal. I'm making up for it with takeout from Oliver's tomorrow. It's been four long weeks and it's time to treat myself a bit. Unfortunately my favorite appetizer^ is not takeout-able, but everything else that I like on the menu is there! ^it is a soft-boiled egg (in shell) with generous pieces of smoked pork belly in it, topped with a truffle foam. It's tough to think of an egg that's worth $9. This one is.

Ketchup is for children.

Rarely do I come to the defense of Jason Botterill, but it may be that Larsson only was willing to sign for one year, or only willing to sign for one year at that salary.

I think we're picking up on that too. I wouldn't worry too much about the US using emergency powers to keep all the ventilators in the country. Or drinking it, in the case of Florida.

LOL Florida has deemed WWE to be an essential business: https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/florida-deems-wwe-essential-business/ What is it in the water in that state?

Exactly.

Which is fine, but if you're him, are you going to take $2.25M to stay here or are you going to take $2.25M to go to a contender?

Fair point; I do not know how well he fits in.

OK then I hope it's positive--but that you recover. Is your immune system back up to 100%?

Ugh hopefully it is another negative!

That's what I'm trying to say. It will cost the Sabres more to keep him than he will receive from a team that actually is poised to win.

He's not coming back unless he's grossly overpaid

Learning that Taro didn't know something about a hockey player is like learning that Santa doesn't exist.

Not the whole time. If you hover over the 99 in the upper right hand corner, you'll see it: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/d/dudleri01.html Also, Sean McIndoe had an article about it in the Athletic yesterday, if you have a subscription. (Actually, he had an article about it even if you don't have a subscription.) Edit: Also here; https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/WIN/1981.html

1981 with Winnipeg.

He did. And that's the other one! He wore 99 in the NHL, though, not the WHA.

I don't sniff glue!

ABC is the outlet with this story on my Apple News feed.

Three players have worn #99 in the modern era. Two of them played for the Sabres (although they did not wear that number here). Name them. Taro, please give other people a chance by using the spoiler tags.

Oh no. NO.

Yeah, probably not a good idea when we're all on lockdown. All right, I've received enough messages asking me to reopen. (You do all know that you could just start your own, right?) I guess if what's being said in here bothers you, don't read it or whatever.
