Eleven

It's only one possible unfortunate outcome, and even Pegula can't buy everything he wants in the world. Another: What if this came in at 800 or 900 or even 950K? They are strapped as much as possible with respect to the cap right now. So much so that people in another thread are suggesting that they mortgage the future by exercising buyouts now.

Because it means he makes more money in Rochester. I do want to see the players grow there. (I don't think Elie is capable of much growth, though.) I just don't care about the team winning Calder Cups, etc. I certainly realize that a more successful team leads to a more positive experience for the players who ultimately will matter. Forgot that part; thanks.

Eww.

I usually love these but I am puzzled by the "racist QB" part. What's that about?

Don't know. Maybe it would have been a one-way deal. Maybe it would have been two years. The risk was there. I know, it's blasphemy. I'm sorry.

Qualifying him risked an unfavorable arbitration award. I know this will be unpopular among those who live in Rochester, but I don't really care much about the success of the Amerks.

It wouldn't have been a situation had Botterill not extended the qualifying offer to begin with. Glad this one's over; let's see what happens with the younger of the two backup goalies.

Absolutely.

Good.

No buyouts. I don't want dead cap money on the books next year when they have to negotiate with Reinhart and Dahlin.

I don't remember. It may have just been "Eleven."

That sounds fantastic.

In.

I'm not sure why the Sabres gave Elie a qualifying offer to begin with.

I really want them to hire Chiarelli. Or Snow.

Is Ottawa running a hockey team or an infirmary?

Well, they're stuck then.

1) I haven't seen that. You may be right. So find another way to get rid of him. But how were they able to walk away from Tim Kennedy? 2) 1.6, per my post above, which is absolutely correct and unquestionable. 3) Honestly, I'm not sure. I think we're looking at a team where forwards make either more than 5M or less than 2M.

Yeah, but they put that stupid NY on it. Also, did you really not like the Pepsi-style sweaters? I think they're as good as any the team ever has had.

I might start my vacation a day late or take an evening flight if I can. But I will be responsible for my own ticket if I do.

Certainly, Obama was continuing Bush's policies--Snowden exposed that--so yes, both parties are doing it.

I would have noped out of this one.

Damn. Just saw this. Sorry.

I'm twelve storeys up and my windows don't open. If I can hear the ***** music from your car, it really is too loud.

Yes.
