39 seems to have the inside track on what's transpiring. Hopefully he is right again. Whether it's $6 million or $16 million per year, I don't care. As someone astutely pointed out, it doesn't count towards the cap. To me, it looks like we are getting the best coach in the NHL - bar none. Who knows if all of these moves (big trades, tanking for McEichel, hiring Babcock etc) will result in the Sabres getting to the promised land (Lord Stanley's Cup)? All I know is that it is great to support a team that has an owner and management group that is doing everything in its power to win a Stanley Cup. Hope is a wonderful thing and the moves by the organization have given me hope for the future.
I only have three more things to say before I get back to work: 1) "Thank you Mr. Pegula", 2) "Keep doing a great job Mr. Murray" and 3) "Welcome to Buffalo Mr. Babcock" - SabreWest
I will also Guarantee Eichel is done. When edmonton drafts mcdavid,eichel 100% will sign with Buffalo and will not go back to college. The night he was drafted, he was with people from Buffalo,they erupted that Buffalo lost the number one pick. His dad did a shot of Jameson to salute

I would imagine - you know how this world works now - that if it is the case that he's coming here, we may start hearing some things over the weekend. - grand-magus
Rex Ryan and Mike Babcock in one offseason these aren't our grandparents sports franchises that's for sure

When exactly does the NHL plan on announcing the schedule for the WCF? It's not like they don't know when the last Eastern series is going to end or anything....
