Go to CapFriendly.com and make a team with what u think their salaries will be in a few years
It’s not actually as bad as u think

I have a huge long post about this already

It is bad

There is next to no cap space to make moves

There is no way to do a team that far out btw
2019-2020 is the furthest you can go

Russ Brandon has resigned as managing partner and president of the Pegula sports empire.

Kim Pegula has taken over as president.

The move comes after Pegula Sports and Entertainment conducted an internal investigation into Brandon's workplace behavior and allegations of personal misconduct, two sources told The Buffalo News.

As the top executive under Terry and Kim Pegula, Brandon ran the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bandits and Rochester Americans. He also was the alternate governor to Terry Pegula for the Sabres and Americans.

Brandon confirmed his resignation to The Buffalo News late Tuesday afternoon.

They needed an investigation? He was an bumhole in public FFS.

Workplace misconduct is not something the Pegula's take lightly and the NFL makes owners sell teams

They don't mess around

U must have been one of the ppl who thought he’d be a future Captain

I’m not always right,
but i was about Girgs

He’s a guy we should’ve traded when his value was high
What could we get now?
Maybe a 3rd or 4th I’d guess

Russ Brandon: Out.

First we win the lottery and now Brandon is gone


Is this real life

Gotta hand it to you Gerb, that was funn6 as hell!
Maybe there is hope.

Pittsburgh’s top6 earners make over 56% of their current Cap
At your projections, the Sabres top6 guys would be under 50%

Do we have the right guys making that 49% though?
Now that’s arguable

Okposo has to go
He’s the oldest guy on our team that’s locked up
Play him with Eichel to hopefully get his value up this year to the point we can move him

ROR... ok, but again, for the right return

Risto & Sam... very debatable
Again, depends on the return

Pittsburgh has two of the top 3 NHL forwards. That's the only reason it works for them.

For those that asked

Hamilton goes after Risto, ROR & Nylander pretty hard

Those guys are 3 key pieces we were counting on

If he’s right...
then Botts has some work to do

Fair

Do u think Eichel & Mitts can be our version of them?
By that, i mean really good 1C (jack) & a 2C who is really 1C quality (Mitts)

Their (projected by Stripes) hit of 17mil is still less than Sid + Malkin
18.9% vs 24.3%

At his 90mil Cap projection, that gives us another 5mil

So can Jack + Mitts + Sam = Sid + Malkin ?

I mentioned that the other day

Someone to be a bridge between ownership & Botts
And talk T Pegs down if he starts to get “too involved”

are we good yet

I love Eichel and Mittelstadt, but they aren't going to both be top 5 forwards IMO

Girgs has decent speed, a little scoring ability, and can play physical
We’ve all seen him be decent
We just haven’t seen him he consistent
Probably not since Nolan anyways

If it comes down to him vs Larsson on who to ship out,
i wonder if we’d keep Girgs bc of his speed
Even though Larsson has been better at Center
At some point,
they’re likely both pushed out by younger talent coming up

can we keep none of the above?

I have been saying for months, she is too hands on

Brandon out . last pc of the failed buffalo sports teams ..GONE!

Seriously. The bar is set at "suck" for Nolan, girgs and Larsson, and none of them are clearing it. Waive larsson and trade girgs. We literally cannot do worse. Nic (frank)ing deslauriers had a better season

It ain't over yet

Sure
Was just wondering if Girgs had an edge over Larsson if it’s one or the other?
