nobody Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 So you now that Grags whole family was at dinner too right? Chz always knows more then what you see on twitter. :thumbsup:
tom webster Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I wanted to bold two things on this gem from Garth's hockeybuzz. How exactly does the math work with the Sabres currently about $3.6 million over the cap, then Gragnani's cap hit of $1.5-$1.8 million put the Sabres at $3.7 million over the cap? By my math, that would put the Sabres at $5.1-$5.4 million over the cap if Gragnani indeed has a cap hit of $1.5-$1.8 million. My first question would be where does this guy come up with absurd numbers like this for a guy who has all of 16 games of NHL experience? Why should he get more than a $650K one way deal? What justification is there? Second, who taught this guy math? Not only should he be ashamed of himself, but his math teacher should be as well. Third, this is another reason why you need to be careful about bringing stuff from hockeybuzz to this message board. The fake nature of professional wrestling aside from that website, guys like Garth have poorly edited blogs with all kinds of typos, misspellings, and major grammar mistakes. Now, you can add math as another problem subject for Mr. Garth as well. If anything, hockeybuzz has taught me that literally any idiot can become a millionaire over night if enough people go to his website and look at display ads. Literally any idiot. Can't argue with much of the rest, but as far as the math, you would have to subtract Ellis's contract as only the first 23 contracts count in the off season. My guess is that when Garth did his math, he meant to add approx $1 million and instead added 100K.
spndnchz Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Tick tock. Amerks stuff must be holding it up.
SabresFan526 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Can't argue with much of the rest, but as far as the math, you would have to subtract Ellis's contract as only the first 23 contracts count in the off season. My guess is that when Garth did his math, he meant to add approx $1 million and instead added 100K. That's exactly what happened. He was off by one zero. Unfortunately, that one zero makes a huge difference in the cap hit and by how much over the Sabres are. It's simple stuff like this that really shows the poor quality of the writing over there. That's all.
That Aud Smell Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Posted July 27, 2011 only a matter of time. dude was on the pegula family boat, for crissakes. https://twitter.com/#!/Grags17/status/96272446520426497 (and i continue to find it a little weird how teenagers routinely communicate with adults via twitter. wasn't that how weiner-gate got going?)

spndnchz Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 I dare say announcement tomorrow. I know I jumped the gun on the announcement but I believe he is already signed.
LGR4GM Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 I dare say announcement tomorrow. I know I jumped the gun on the announcement but I believe he is already signed. I believe ya, figured that the Rochester stuff kinda pushed him onto the back burner for a minute or two.

Creeper. Stalker. Perv. as drew magary is wont to say: that's tough but fair.

That Aud Smell Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 :nana: J/K, Aud. it was well-placed. seriously, the open content settings and absence of age-limits on twitter is unnerving to me. just this past weekend, a 20-something cousin of mine who works in marketing (i.e., social network media) told me that facebook surpassed myspace; twitter surpassed facebook; and that this tumblr thing surpassed twitter. so i noodled around on tumblr for a bit. that is a weird place, man. http://selleckwaterfallsandwich.tumblr.com/ (SFW)

LGR4GM Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 so I am curious now about the MAG deal. I know that Rochester and getting a coach in their helped slow things down with MAG but if there is a deal why not just sign it and be done... its MAG not Myers so its not that big of a deal. Its easy: MAG 650k x2 years and done.
BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Who is his agent? does he have NFL clients? if so, he's a bit busy the last few days ....
