Completely different. If it was 1yr of Skinner, you do it. It's 6.

Not with that contract I wouldn't. Oh snap, I used capfriendly to understand what the NYR dropping Goodrow could mean for the Sabres... am I being a good fan or a bad fan?

I don't think we would need to add anything at all to get a team to take 50pt Jeff Skinner at 4.5mil for 3years. If he didn't have a NMC, I bet that trade could be made tomorrow without us including "a substantial asset" or any asset other than Jeff and the retention.

This is exactly what he did with with the coach search. I even raised it around here that Adams lied and was told to bugger off.

My hope is they find a trade partner and retain less than 3mil to get it done.

Buffalo Sabres met with Ivan Demidov for about 10 minutes at the event this morning. "For example, after he sat down with me for this story, the Buffalo Sabres chatted with him for about 10 minutes." https://eprinkside.com/2024/06/18/ivan-demidov-happily-shocks-nhl-teams-as-he-meets-with-them-for-first-time?s=09

If you you're a Sabre who needs this, I hope Adams trades you yesterday. Fully fine with adding more grit and guys who can rough-house more. I don't need Cozens being the one dropping gloves if someone else can address it but if you are a Sabre and are afraid to get in a scrum without someone else "standing up for you" I have no time for you.

There's some but it's mostly still weird and offbeat.

For those who've ever drank or hung out on Allen Street, the Old Pink burned down this morning. The building was demolished this afternoon. A truly eclectic dive bar with a really solid steak Sammy and fried bologna, it was certainly a dive but it was memorable.

Yes, being right about Terry Pegula meddling is equivalent to saying fans that's look up salary info aren't good fans. Right. Yup. Sure.

If anyone wants to look at the tax stuff: https://www3.erie.gov/ecrpts/sites/www3.erie.gov.ecrpts/files/2023-01/erie_22-23_tax_comparison.pdf

I am going to make some guesses. You are over 55, my guess is over 65 but at least 55 so all the teachers you know are probably 20 or more years in the profession so I wouldn't be surprised if they made around 100k. I've lived a couple of different places including outside of NY for a time. Specifically in the southeast and teachers and educators didn't make a lot, unless again they had years on years in the system where they could get up to those higher levels of pay. I know quite a few teachers, none of them make anywhere close to 100k, most are in the 55-65k market.
