I believe that rule was done away with, at about the same time we were paying up with our 3rd round pick.

Its kind hard to feel like the Sabres haven't moved backwards.

They pretty much have. Pegula should have cleaned house on day 1.
Now he's doing it for the second time in 6 years and we dont look much better on paper than when he bought the team.
I'd rather have Eichel, Sam and Risto over Erhoff, Vanek and Pommenville.
But besides that, not much has changed.

I just have to fix that first paragraph....

"Draft-pick compensation for the hiring of coaches and executives from other teams will be eliminated, effective Jan. 1, Commissioner Gary Bettman said Tuesday following the Sabres organization having to pay one for stupid Dan Bylsma."

Just like everyone else, I love our youth, but the dead weight is so dead, and so weighty.

We shoulda been calling him SDB all along.

Someone needs to take this guy's head off. He's the dirtiest player in the NHL right now.

Which sucks because he doesn't need to be like that, he'd be such a great player if he wasn't.

And yes I think this was intentional. Given his history.

Anyone else think this "shift clock" is as dumb as I do?

Bobby Ryan would be great here but the contract is atrocious

I think I'd rather see live Corsi numbers. You're trying too hard, NBC.

Ive never asked myself, "Huh. I wonder how long playerX has been on the ice. If only NBC could track this vital info and display it to me in real time. THEN, I could REALLY get into this game."

I wanna know how many women they have slept with

Erik Karlsson- 23,743
Brad Marchand- 1

Just to reassess for a moment, I'd rather watch the shift clock tick upwards than listen to Mike Milbury say ANYTHING.

Ya they did. Also one for Lou. Both 3rd rounders. But i am pretty sure they abolished the compensatory pick for signing coach/gm.

Babcock was a free agent coach. He wasn't under contract.
