Black hopeful that there will be more trade activity before the draft.

 

To me, sounds like this is the largest street they will go down.

New NHL stuff?

 

NHL working on an app for highlights, in-game stuff.

 

Working on better wi-fi for arena. Like an app you can watch the goalie cam all game.

They'll attend their first NHL Board meeting in June.

 

All Star Game in Buffalo? Not enough hotels right now. But trying to get it and another Winter Classic.

De-slugging:

 

"Slug appreciation day" coming. "Significant" discount to buy a new one. Wouldn't trade in, but wear it to the store and get a discount on the new ones.

I just sent this suggestion to Ted.

 

Many teams use the phrase "Nation" ....as in RED SOX nation, REDSKIN NATION,

Steelers Nation etc....

 

This doesn't quite fit in Buffalo for two reasons.

 

1) We are closer to a family

2) We embrace being transnational (both Anthems)

 

Today TED BLACK referred to SABRES NATION multiple times.

 

INSTEAD...may I suggest...

 

THE SABRES HILT = The fan base. Our OUR HILT = SABRE FANS

 

The hilt is the natural base of a SABRE..or sword.

Great stuff. Saying all the right things ... still just words, though; looking forward to seeing if the actions match.

 

The game day experience hasn't been just words...things are moving forward. :thumbsup:

Possibly building statues of the French Connection.

 

I still like my original idea of putting the actual people on giant pedestals in the lobby of the arena. It's a shame that can't happen now.

At work right now so THANK YOU Chz, great stuff following along. I know they're just words still, but sounds very promising for the future. I love how he sounded like the trade route should be explored considering this years FA pool. Atleast they're recognized it.

No disrespect, but I think that was about 3-4,000 of the 10,000 suggestions so far lol.
