Expand What are you talking about? The speculation was from a credible source aka Mike Harrington and no one said this was fact.

Odds are that KA had conversations with the Agent which is where the rumor probably came from.
shrader Posted August 29, 2024 Report Posted August 29, 2024 The real funny part would be if that contract never comes through and then he does wind up with the Buffalo PTO.

PerreaultForever Posted September 3, 2024 Report Posted September 3, 2024 Yamamoto would be worth looking at. Of course he might not want to sign a PTO with Buffalo but we like little fast guys. He could be a utility guy.
