I understand that, but it gave our GM the extra cap space to bring in all those great players, including Jimmy Vesey.
(insert that eye-roll thingie here)
We are on the top of page 3 and no has mention the 'd' word.
The Sabres can lose every other game this season, so long as they beat these dastardly Bruins.
I think Jack will be motivated tonight and will have a big game. Jimmy 'don't call me dastardly, just 'cus I'm from there' Vesey with the welcome home hattie.
MUST WIN!!
GO SABRES!!
AVENGE BRAD FRIGGIN' PARK!!
@PASabreFan,
It's true, why would I make it up?
As God as my witness, it's 100% true. Some one, anyone back me up on this.
And another thing, I thought turkeys could fly.
LOL!!
Listening to The Fan 590 in The Great Satan on my way up the country ... it's 7:35 PM in Halifax.
They just broke the news now.
@Brawndo is so good that he scooped the Toronto media ?????
I think it is pretty clear why Samson was bridged. It's the cap.
Even though I wanted Sam signed long-term and not bridged I can see the reason for it. Pretty good cap management, IMO.
I am not so sure how much more $ Sam will command now then when he signed the bridge deal. I was thinking 6.5 - 7 when he signed the bridge deal for a long-term deal. Now I am thinking around 7.5 - 8, so about a million more AAV over 8 years. Not bad and next season the Sabres can afford that with old contracts expiring.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the Sabres have played that badly tonight.
There biggest problem is all the missed shots. A little more on target and / or a bit of luck and this game would be tied, at least.
