I get that but im sure it still has some affect on what Sam is asking.

Yes , tom Wilson's contract is a comparison.

Similar age, rfa status and posting his best year point wise to date.

I think the comparisons end there.

Different players bringing different intangibles to their games.

If the agents were just measuring points/ goals, it would be easy to sign guys. That's not all nhl players bring game in and game out. Guys get paid for being playoff contributors and winning the cup.

On the “ask” it surely does

But in that same respect,
the Sabres would probably point to a contract like Kucherov who was making
4.77mil per, for 3yrs

Works both ways

I’m just saying there’s other contracts that are more appropriate for comparison

Somewhere around 5-5.5mil for a long term deal should be about right

I’d sign Sam to a 1yr, 4mil per deal personally

Anyone mind listening to a few of my new song demos and giving me some feedback or criticism? I've been working on something that has a bit more musical depth than stuff I've posted before.

Also I apologize if it comes off as spammy, it's just hard as an underground solo musician to get any feedback from an outside perspective.

This is a synonym for “unemployed.”

Plumbing and/or electrician apprentices are killing it these days.

Perhaps my 2 year old son has some of this in him already. We enjoy watching Sabre highlights and lowlights on YouTube
And also we both have #15 Eichel jerseys. Total bummer that he changed it to 9 but I should have seen it coming.

I bought my 4yo niece a #15 Eichel jersey as well. D'oh. On the plus side, it'll show that you and I bought in before the sabres got good again.

Any Athletic subscribers here? They have an article today about how the Atlantic teams stack up against the Caps and curious what they say about Buffalo.

There's a compelling theory that you should just bridge everyone, except franchise players. You're less likely to make costly mistakes and are able to lock the player up through their prime. Sam's really the poster child.

Sam might improve, but his role could also diminish as this team improves. There's no reason to gamble, and no reason to even think he'd sign a team friendly long term deal to begin with.

I've personally talked to two ex BN journalists. Both, as you can imagine, say he's even worse as a human being, and even credit part of the reason they left is because of that poopwagon.

This was certainly alluded to by multiple Tim Graham tweets, and a Lauren Brill tweet.

(frank) Harrington with Ted Black's Turdburger.
