Eichel switching to #9 (OFFICIAL)

Of course you also get paid for an 8 hour shift if you work 10 as well.

Now just imagine a scenario where the best workers in the company all get together and work a couple extra days without getting paid for it.  At the same time, all the crappy workers get to sit at home, already having pocketed their pay.

A full season for me is 70+ games.

Most goalies don't play a full season...

17 friggin pages for this. No way in hell I'm wading through 17 pages. I like the # change. Pretty sure Eichel foresaw Dahlin outselling him at the Sabrestore this season so he changed the # to kickstart some sales of his own. 

[Doohicksie]

There are several tangents in the 17 pages; probably not worth the read.

Yup, that's the trade off. I like it a lot more than hourly to be honest. As long as I get my work done, I'm good to go

Can't blame you for that.

In general, when I jump into a thread like this one on page 16 or 17 or whatever, I almost never review what's been stated upthread. 

For my own part, I've enjoyed the banter. I mean, it's July, after all.

Don't think I could ever go back to hourly.

It really depends on the employer and how everything is set up. My girlfriend got switched to hourly and it was the best thing that could have happened for her. She's a store manager so before she got switched they overworked the hell out of her, dragged their feet allowing her to promote shift leaders, and all kinds of messed up stuff.

Went salary, made a bit more annually but my hourly wage went downhill big time.

I know I'm late with this but I just came back from vacation. As for Eichel taking #9, I think it SUCKS to high heaven. I now have 3 Sabre jerseys, a #15 Eichel a #9 Kane and a #90 ROR. WTF happened these past few months???

You better trade in the Eich for a Bogo and hope that the pattern holds ... ?

Don't you DARE buy a Casey Mittelstadt jersey or I will personally hunt you down and cut your taint.

Just kidding (sort of).

I'm starting to appreciate my Reinhart #23 now.  ?

$30 at the Sabres to get the Kane jersey switched to a Eichel if you feel like it.

Also, I just picked this up a couple days ago:

[Doohicksie]

I hated the Goathead jerseys, even more so than the Sluggo.  But if I were going to get a Goathead, Drury would be the choice.

You gotta stop buying jerseys of players that aren't 

A) Legends

B) Guarantee to be here for 10+ years

#15 Jack Eichel was guaranteed to be hear for 9 years.

That is a true point. Well played. Personally I've been waiting for the switch back to the royal blues anyways, so I got kinda lucky

I really hope the Sabres don't furp the 50th anniversary up. The royal blue looks so damn good, it's amazing they've stuck with the navy for so long.

It really depends on the position and type of work.  I can absolutely understand the scenario you describe.  My job is more nuanced than that so having full flexibility is awesome.  Of course some salaried positions are terribly abused.  That's why there is legislation to force employers to pay overtime to salaried employees in certain scenarios.

The odds are good that regardless of what they do there will be a significant enough contingent that hates it.  I'm not sure any team has universally won the uniform design battle.

The #15 jersey is now hipster-cool. Wear it with pride that you were into Jack before it was cool.

Perhaps this is influenced by my bubble, but I'm willing to bet a majority of fans in Sabredom would embrace the return to Royal Blue and there would only be a small subset of belly achers.

The team has tried, and failed, so many times as Jersey redesigns. They've been trying to fix something that hasn't been broke since the mid-90s. If they do it right, it won't be so much of selling the fanbase on a new desing, rather a return to what's right.

I also think a 3rd alternate Goathead in the red and black would be pretty damn cool as well.

[WildCard]

Some things in life really are as simple as you think they are. For the Sabres organization, going back to the original royal blues is right there next to drafting Dahlin in terms of no brainers
