Eleven

Well, you're not one of the fifteen, I guess, smarty. Ok. Your first paragraph, which I know was well-meant, leaves me with a thousand more questions than answers. (Ok, maybe not really a thousand.) I do thank you for your effort, but I don't think I'm ever going to understand how the NFL works its cap. And part of that, I will admit, is lack of effort. I can only put energy into so many things, and the NFL cap may not be one.

Well I’ll ask you, then. There seems to be a lot of escapes, levels of detail, amd other stuff we don’t see in hockey. So please explain...

I'm going to miss it. I have a ticket for Shea's tomorrow night.

I have no idea how the NFL cap system works. It seems really complicated.

Report whatever you'd like, sizzle.

Take it easy on my ancestors, ok?

Nah, too healthy.

Are you kidding? I prefer "descriptions," but whatever. What are you doing here? Your last post about hockey was ten months ago.

You're the moderator. You are welcome to censor content that has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics. You can cut that crappy link to an alt-right anti-science blog, and the comments that follow, anytime you'd like to. Also, the last time 5th line Wingnut or whatever it is posted about hockey was last year April. Be real.

There is the same place for alt-right climate change denial blogs. You put that link here, not me. That site has nothing to do with science.

My seminary has a site that ends in .edu but it's not very trustworthy right now. But it's still probably better than some weird alt-right climate change denial blog.

This team aspires to mediocrity. They're not near it right now.

What about the summers of 2006 and 2007? Those were the important ones. Larry Quinn was a pox on the House of Sabre. Anyone who thinks things would be better with him and Golisano, rather than the Pegulas, needs a cranial examination.

Is he still able to serve as the Flyers' mascot?

There are too many variables in there for me to solve for X (and is Z a player or a team?), but I will note that both Tampa and Buffalo have cap problems. Again, I am just repeating what I've heard; I do not have faith in it.

It's not what I would consider a reliable source, but the guy does read a LOT about Buffalo sports. Just please remember that I posted this yesterday: From Tampa to Buffalo for Miller and a 2021 second, which I find laughable. Still, I am reporting what I hear, not what I think can happen.

Honestly. I'm not believing it for a second, mind you, but that's what I was hearing yesterday. Yes, I think it's nonsense.

Tampa has a disadvantage and so do the Sabs: No centers, 95 thousand AHL+ defensemen, and a salary cap problem.

From Tampa to Buffalo for Miller and a 2021 second, which I find laughable. Still, I am reporting what I hear, not what I think can happen.

I am starting to hear Cirelli rumors again.

McDonald's doesn't exactly make the best cheeseburgers in the world, and Justin Bieber's music is objectively awful. Don't confuse popularity with quality. Those sweaters sold because the team kicked ass.

Did you catch my further response? It would have been just as easy to quote that as well.

No. Stand up to the rest of the league for once. It amazes me that a board full of people who get worked up that no one not named McCabe or Ristolainen takes a forward into the boards for breathing on Carter Hutton is willing to bend over and trade said players for fairy tales. If teams want Sabre players, they can pay a price. The Bruins wanted Charlie Coyle, got him, and paid. The Pens wanted Zucker, got him, paid. Enough of this giving away nonsense. Buffalo had a GM once who was great at winning trades but bad at building a team. I'd like to see the Sabres get back to at least that baseline level again. Right now, they have a GM who loses trades and still can't build a team.

Fine. And you're dreaming if you think the Sabs would actually get a meaningful player in a deadline trade. It would be a draft pick and it would be a guy who plays in the AHL at best.

Good point. Then they don't get a defenseman. The Sabres don't need to be the league's bitch every February.
