Bring me some Ben and Jerry's and I'll scuba dive for ya

The Mitts updates are one of a handful of things I care about for the Sabres these days so I do appreciate them, thanks

ftfy

From?

We can't have True ending up like Brooks

Paging @TrueBlueGED, you can finally leave the bunker

I'm hoping it's because we have a deal in place and need the cap space. I doubt that but I'm hoping

Give him credit for trying I guess. Not like waiving him months ago would have given us anything that it's not giving us now

So what does this mean?

Hope he didn't pull a Roenick is all. NBC fired him for that I believe

That's what I was saying in the first place haha I think we're in agreement here I'm hoping he trades the UFAs for some younger prospects with high upside. That or get some 2-4 round picks in there

It could but realistically I can't see it. Between the roster holes we have this offseason, cap space, and a higher availability of 2C's available in the offseason, I can't see Botterill making a big move like that right now.

The offseason we might. This deadline is just going to be shedding some of the fat

I would assume us. Tyler Johnson for Eichel incoming

Couple of job interviews. In my field you have to take basically a mid term each time you interview. Feels like I'm back on college all over again, just without the fun parts

I think it's a pretty normal thing for someone to want to go to a good job.

@FieldYates The Bills and starting DT Star Lotulelei have agreed to a restructured contract for the final three years of his deal. For 2020, Lotulelei’s base salary drops by $1.75M, but becomes fully guaranteed, with $2.5M in injury guarantees for 2021 added. Some benefit for both sides.

This guy is hilarious

Curtis Lazar is our 2C lmao

Said it before and I'll say it again, McBean did the same exact thing.

Losing culture is a thing. These are people, not just numbers and robots. Going in to somewhere highly stressful that you hate day after day with no expectation or desire to improve is a real thing. It's why companies, including the Sabres, spend millions on culture activities. Is it the only thing, or the cause of everything? Of course not. But it's a hurdle to overcome nonetheless. We can't completely dismiss it because it's not the most important aspect or driving factor behind our issues.

That's a deal I wish we would've done.
