Me too. We knew he would too.

I also that Scott/D'Agostini/McBain and Conacher are gone. None of them had a future here and he saw that immediately

Agreed, let the players with an actual future here (i.e Larsson) take on that role.

Off topic but IMO Florida would have been better off with Seth Jones and Sam Reinhart then Ekblad and Barkov
- sbroads24

I'd trade Reinhart straight up for Barkov, and I REALLY like Reinhart
Barkov has size & skill to be a dominant power forward
He was my fav player in his draft class
And will be a major reason why we are competing with the Panthers for years come
Florida will compete for a playoff spot this year

Bjugstad, Barkov, Huberdeau, Gudbranson, Ek, etc.

Lots to like in F. L. A.

Yeah, Seattle is gonna be stacked in two years.

Decade?
That sentence right there is why I hardly ever read anything you type.
Sorry just being honest.
By the way I appreciate your blogs Mike.
When I do come here now it is usually just to read them and I thank you.

Feel free to keep it that way. Like I've said before, my opinions aren't swayed by approval or lack thereof by others' here. I say what I say because I believe I'm correct, not because I want to be liked.

Quick update on all the Jim ownership rumors. The things that you are being told by @ByTimGraham and the media are NOT ACCURATE!

Jill Kelly ‏@HJKforever 1m
To think that anyone would think for a minute that Jim would ever link up with ownership that would move our BELOVED BILLS is ludicrous

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 11m
Member of the Kelly family told me if I ever asked him about Jeffrey Gundlach he would deny knowing him. So this doesn't surprise me.

My My My . What a tangled web we weave when we try to deceive . No doubt JBJ would try to enlist Jim for credibility , just hope Jim was not fished in by him . Really surprised Pegula has not been wining and dining Kelly seeing how much he values history of the Franchise.

Don't see why it matters. Kelly doesn't have the $$$. That's why he has no partners lined up.

It does matter to the Wilson trust . They are looking for ties to the community . Ralph was fond of Jim . Again . What can it hurt ? To have Jim involved in one way or another .He does not have to be a financial partner. It is just good Kharma.

Not just that . Why do you think they allowed JBJ resubmit with more assurances they would not move the team? Again . I ask. What does it hurt?

It doesn't but it's pointless. Pegula doesn't need him in the slightest. He already has the respect of the community. He doesn't need a figure head

the 2003 draft class is considered the second best of all-time behind the 1979 class...the kings ended up with three first-rounders from that class when they landed carter and richards
- Michael Pachla

Next year's draft class is considered to be on par with 2003 and the Sabres have 3 1st round picks already that they can develop the way they want. Regardless if one of the three is McEichel, I think the Sabres will be a force in 5 years.

What does it hurt ? Pull out all the stops ! There is a lot of emotional support for Kelly . Especially after his battle with Cancer . I myself never loved Kelly as a quarterback . I felt he was adequate . But we would all pissed if someone besides Pegula got the team . Trust everyone , but cut the cards.

I don't know if I'd be pissed (unless it is JBJ who gets them), but I would sure be disappointed if Terry didn't win. Having an owner with the dough to own 2 sports franchises in the same city is something that elevates the image of a city, in my opinion.

It doesn't hurt. It's just not nexcessary for Pegula.


If some Billionaire we never heard of wanted to reassure the community we were sticking around then maybe having Kelly on board would be a good idea
