It really sucks, because I have NBCSN (and pay for it) but I doubt they'll be carrying the Sabres unless they're playing one of the local teams (or on the rare night when it's the only game on.)
I wonder if most satellite / cable providers will be providing a free week to open the season (as in years past)?
Also, I saw that Center Ice does not include playoff games (I think)is that right? It would suck to spend even 60 bucks on this and then not get to watch every Buffalo playoff game (I'm in NJ, so there are lots of other teams that take priority in local scheduling.)
I was just going to ask if anyone knew who from Rochester was coming for the scrimmage. It's a good opportunity for those guys, maybe Adam actually (finally) shows something. I'm disappointed (but not surprised) that they didn't opt to give Zemgus a taste tonight. It sounds like Flynn has been playnig a solid game since his arrival, so glad to see him involved.
Yeah, I was thinking in the neighborhood of 4 - 5 million a season, maybe for 3-4 years? That way, he's got some incentive to produce, and we have limited risk for just a few seasons
I think I'm in the minority (or maybe a singularity?) that feels that Semin wouldn't be so bad at the right price. If he's really so bad for team chemistry, you just send him to Rochester and he'll cry and go back to the KHL. On the right wing of Vanek, you have a top line that can put the puck in the net a lot.
