Expand While the implications of "what if it were the Sabres CEO that said this" are fun to explore, I would like your view on Seguin as a possibility from Botterill's standpoint. 9.5 mil, 8 yrs, is a slight less than the Toronto Tavares signing, and with Jack at 10 mil, I see a comparison there for a 1-2 center punch at a reduced cost given I project Mathews at 11 to 12.5 range on his next contract. It may be anywhere from 2.5 to 4 million in available cap. If I'm Botterill, I'm on the phone. Your thoughts?

Nothing like an entitled baby boomer whining about something a millennial said. #snowflake Expand Actually I missed out on being a boomer, which I'm happy about. I don't know how they determined the cutoff, but it was perfect IMO. Most of my friends also have siblings 5-10 years older than them, and there's a big difference in even half a generation. Boomer to me is almost an insult. But I'm too old to be Gen X. As a sidenote, a lot of people think generations aren't really a thing, merely a way to market to groups of people.
