  1. And the downside.....
  2. Why wasn't my first job at 18 years old in Vegas and paid me $1 million a year??
  3. Fair enough. The difference at the NHL level between an average player and a good one is desire and passion. I just never saw either from Sobotka. I saw a player going though the motions.
  4. Amen, brother.
  5. I did not see any reports of his not wanting to be in Buffalo, but his lack of action and passion on the ice spoke louder than anything he could have said in his defense.
  6. Keeping a player on the roster who clearly didn't want to be in Buffalo kills the culture for another year and says that apathy will be tolerated. JBot loses respect for this and the players will see it very clearly.
  7. I can blame Terry. He's a petroleum engineer telling a hockey expert which hockey player to trade. Hire good hockey experts and let them work. Terry has every right to tell Jbot, it's his team, but it's not the best way to run it.
  8. JBot not buying out Sobotka per BN. Sounds like this Sabres year is like the Bills last year. Get rid of the crap contracts this year but will have to live though the pain, free up the cap and work on 2020-2021. Yea!!
  9. Or until he's diagnosed with a degenerative back injury (whichever comes first).
  10. Risto for Subban straight up?
  11. With the recent Tony Robbins allegations, I'm not sure Flagg would want to be combined with him (although I don't know Flagg).
  12. John Shannon is a savant who is very insightful and really knows his stuff. Pot is legal in Canada now, correct?
  13. Unfortunately, our best asset is cap space to take on a crap contract.
  14. Any Father Ted fans out there. I loved that show.
  15. Unfortunately, I have seen the country change more in the last 2 1/2 years than I would have ever thought possible.
  16. The president gets 8 years to change the country, surely it shouldn't take that long for a hockey team to make the playoffs.
  17. Good points. But how long is too long? It's been 8 years and we're really no further along. How long is the learning curve before you say Terry will never get it right?
  18. If I'm Marner, I take the 8 years and $88 mil. No telling what the future holds. He could get injured and not be the same player (e.g. Bobby Orr). Get the money while you can. I think he could make $88 mil last a lifetime.
  19. If I won a billion dollars in the lottery, I would still know nothing about drilling for gas. Why should Terry think he knows anything about running a professional sports team(s)? I would hire experts and not be arrogant enough to think I know better than they do.
  20. Maybe have Berglund call Sobotka and tell him how great taking a year off is.
  21. I rather we buy out Sobotka than trade for Vesey.
  22. Sounds like the Rangers aren't one of the 4-5 teams interested in Vesey.
  23. How about we keep McCabe unless the offer is "Ristolainen Massive."
  24. Sad to think that even for a brief moment, I thought JBot was that stupid.
  25. The GM who gets McCabe for Vesey isn't stupid.
