That's not a nice thing to say to someone coming to your house tomorrow!! Guess I'll have to find a way to leave a path of destruction on my way out.

Was a type out loud moment in response to the sitting on the couch all day.

I need a day to do this. I have a super busy day tomorrow.

Going to the game in the afternoon (get to sit in a suite for the 1st time ever), then your party, then heading to DD's party, then a Christmas gathering at the local watering hole. I then have to get up and be presentable by 11 am on Sunday for a Bridal shower. By Sunday at 2pm, all I'm going to want is to go back to bed.

EDIT: Oh, and there's 4 of us coming tomorrow, in case you need a headcount.

Hopefully they start with the players and we somehow get a piece

Interestingly, Anaheim and Buffalo are both bottom in the league in salary (24th and 25th respectively). Pegula's willing to spend to the cap and we have 8.9M in space. Next year we have 8 forwards, 4 defensemen, and 2 goalies signed with 24.75M in space. Risto needs a new deal, Girgensons as well, and so does McCabe. Foligno, Larrson, Deslauries, Colo, and Weber are the others on that list.

Estimating each player based on my 100% guesses:
Risto: 6.5M
Girgs: 3.5 M
McCabe: 3M
Deslauries: 2M
That leaves us with 9.7M in space (If the cap doesn't rise), 10 F, 6 D, 2 G. That's almost 10 million to spend on a scoring winger or two and a defenseman. If we resign McGinn to a similar contract to what he has today (2.95M) then we're left with 7M.

Point being, we can still take on a player who has a contract that isn't the best and not kill us next year. Eichel, Reinhart, and Kane all need new contracts by 2019, so a player with a "bad" contract for the next 3 years might be a way to go.

Sorry. That stinks. It's never fun, and then add in that it's around the holidays and it makes it even worse. Have had to do that a few times over the years.

One final note. Last night Sabres goalie Chad Johnson stopped a franchise record 44 shots in a shutout. The previous record holder was Ryan Miller's 43 saves

Im guessing this is a Regular Season Record, Hasek had 70 Against NJ

We have the room off of the bar reserved I guess. We can be a rowdy group, so it should be fun.

May is entitled to his opinion whether people like it or not. At least he has the balls to speak the truth unlike so many others who skirt around the issues.

Eichel's laziness is ruining this team. I am quite certain that he is purposely giving no effort in an attempt to be waived or traded ASAP. He should have at least 20 goals by now. Talk about a waste of a draft pick. #WorkHarder #Bust

"Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart are big pieces up front, currently getting their feet wet without sinking thanks to veterans such as Ryan O’Reilly, Brian Gionta and Matt Moulson."

Well, I shouldn't be too hard to spot. I currently have pink hair. That's all you get to know.

I have to give you credit.. my mind is in complete post Star Wars marathon numbness up until i read that my mind could barely process anything... and i recognize that the statement you just posted is the dumbest thing I've read in awhile.
