Sabres Fan in NS

Go on ...

+++++ For me it has to be the best all-round player the Sabres ever had ... Gare.

Ha!! I still think what I think. Welcome!!

Well, after so long I guess this is awesome. End result is awesome, but somewhat disappointing too. We have had to carry 2 houses for about a year and a half now. With small renos to the old house to get it ready to sell that took a lot longer than anticipated to COVID to bad weather to buyers not appreciating a very nice house ... my wife designed a major addition 15 years ago ... Today we accepted an offer that was a bit lower than we wanted, but at least it is done now, which is a relief. The house is worth over $500,000, but with the unique design (2 bedrooms up, 1 on the main floor and a *proper* bedroom in the completely finished basement) we knew it would likely be a tough sell and not everyones cup of tea. Accpted an offer at $480,000, but with the stipulation that there is no wiggle room to address any *minor* issues upon inspection.

Since no seems willing to do so, I will ... F = Gene Hackman movie from 1971 ... The French Connection. Also, The French Connection II from 1975.

The *concept of* ...

I'll put this here, since this is the thread that is at the top of the list of threads with recent activity ... October 5th was my 56th birthday. Also, marked 2 years since I quit smoking. I didn't even take notice of either of these events ... hence the randomness.

*report of structure fire* LOL!!

Hammy is being hammered and rightfully so.

I am on a real Cat Stevens binge lately. The words of a true believer. Written long before he embrassed Islam. I am very pleased that his journey in Islam has taken him to the point where he is playing his fantastic music again. It is, indeed, a great journey. Love you, Brother Yusuf.

For a minute there I was really concerned for the safety and well-being of @Zamboni ... I hope all is well.

You should not listen to that stuff. The media know nothing of Buffalo and don't care for any of our teams. If things work out well here Hall will sign. We have a playoff roster now. We are probably not finished yet. A lot can happen in any season, but we have a better chance to make the playoffs this coming year than any in the last 10, or so.

I agree completely, but ... ... if this is what we get back, I think I'd do it.

Okay. I disgree, but that's alright, eh.

Not to mention that Hall was the best player in UFA this year. Who would have ever thunk it ... the best UFA player signs with the Sabres and we are not talking Leino best UFA. Hall is the cream on the crop. A top 10 player in the league.

Samson 2 years from UFA!! Man, when did all those years go by.

For sure of the recent. Even over the 50 year (give, or take) history. I can't think of a bigger name that came in UFA. The other big ones over the years came by trade.

I still think the Sabres should sign Samson. With Hall here now I am thinking less term (I wanted long term ... 7, or 8 years), maybe as little as 3. It will be interesting to see what happens. Staal may not sign on for another year. Hall may not either. Then what, if we don't sign Samson to some decent term?

I voted just now and I hope it's not too late. No, by the way.

I have been thinking about it a bit and I think this is the biggest UFA signing in the history of the Sabres.

If I'm Hall I'm only signing for 1 year no matter where it was, but especially Buffalo. We now have to convince him to stay. I don't think any Sabre wears #4 now that Bogo is gone. I'd like to see the Sabres let Hall wear #4. He wore it in Edmonton to honour Jean Béliveau.

It's legit *the fridge* account.

So far, it seems that the new GM has replaced all of the old GM filler parts with his own. Also replaced Mojo with Staal, which is an upgrade at a needed position. So far, so good.

I agree. Pre COVID the deal he got would be the market value, or there abouts. The Sabres did reward him for his loyalty and they like his game better than Larry's, but if Zemgus left they probably would have offered a similar deal to Larry. No. Not this FA period. Last year (pre COVID) ... probably.

Probably not. Angry Larry took less $ to not play for the Sabres. Imagine how bad it must be for him to go wonder in the desert. The Sabres would have paid Larry more, but sometimes it's not just about the $.
