It's pretty awesome, there's a lot of out of towners who really love what Buffalo's doing lately. I'll be trolling around downtown prior to the draft so hopefully I run into a few more folks. The bartender told me that the Sharks management was upstairs and they ordered 17 pizzas.

I have a wake to go to . Hopefully home by 7:30ish.

John Shannon also believes that no one will offer more money than the Sabres. Not sure how far a big wad will go, but it's a good start I'm sure. Again, coincides with 89 and the rest of the internet roomurz

Clearly your priorities are not set. As a fellow engineer, I'd expect better prioritizing.

Sorry "Happy Bday Mrs Indy."



Next time plan these hallmark holidays around important days.

I forget... It was draft day but when that it was announced we had acquired ROR last year? Like an hour before the start wasn't it?

I just remember us being like "OMG Sakic and TM are talking on the floor right now!!"

Murray said he [will have] his first meeting with Jimmy Vesey’s agents Friday morning. They will return to Boston to speak to their client about negotiating with the Sabres after Buffalo acquired the rights to the Hobey Baker winner on Monday. “They are going to relay the message we gave them to Jimmy,” Tim Murray said. “I think we’ll go there or try to get Jimmy in here and see exactly where they are.”

Eichel, of course, is close friends with Vesey and playing summer league hockey with him in Foxborough, Mass. He said he’s not using any pressure tactics on him.

“I don’t want to get to him too much,” Eichel said. “I’m sure everyone is asking where he’s signing, and everyone wants to know what he’s going to do. We work out together and more than anything we’re friends. He’s going to make whatever decision he wants and whatever he thinks will best suit him. I wish him the best.”

What would Kane’s pitch to Vesey include?

“We have great ownership and that’s very important,” Kane said. “We’re very lucky in that regard. We have really good management and a real tight group in the locker room. I see us going in a big direction moving forward here, something to really look forward to. For me, that’s why I’m here and what makes me excited.”

In other words, the motto is In Tim They Trust.

Nothing has and nothing will until tomorrow morning. What I just posted about the money thing is really all the news there was and will be for the next 16 hours at least.

Either that, or Tampa will sign/trade his rights.

I like that last line from Kane.

"That's why I'm here..."

Here's a kid who legitimately wants to be here, Mr. Vegas himself. It's pretty cool.

I wish we could go back and write down every one of those clowns that came in here saying he wouldn't and shove it down their throat when he does.

I need to fast forward the next 5-6 hours.*

*Unless Murray makes a trade.
