What's the breaking point regarding his contract? I ask because it could very well take $64M, or more to get him to sign.

I'm not suggesting he'll definitely take a discount to stay here, but if he's happy being close to home, playing with the best center he's ever had, having fun, etc., I could see him leaving a bit on the table - 8x7m? Slightly better than Kane

When he is 35 making $8 million a year the cap will be $93 million or higher

That and I don’t mind having 1 of those deals.

It’s having 2 and 3 that kills you

There are several less than great contracts that will be coming off the books.
Pommy Girl will take a big cut to stick around
Sobotka after next year

for example

Said it a million times hated the Okposo signing then and going forward. I figured those two ending soon enough that your finances really dont change a lot, more like shuffling money around.

This is actually kind of sad. His 10 year old son decided to go to the fair instead of his game. He's talking about emphatically spiking the ball

“I was a little frustrated and had a heavy heart today,” Fitzgerald said. “My feelings were a little hurt, so I was carrying that around all day. So, when I got in there, I kind of let it out. To all the kids that are watching, I’m sorry. I set a bad example today.”
[...]
Asked if he thought Devin gave up on him after the Cardinals began the season 1-6, Fitzgerald said his son “didn’t want to come support us.”
“So, I’m trying to pick up the pieces,” Fitzgerald said. “I have to be a better father.”




Way to get very real, Larry

In hindsight maybe games arent that fun for him......
maybe he just wants to go play wit his friends.

He should be happy his son made a choice.

I kind of thought the same thing. If you don't get your way, throw a tantrum? Not sure that's a good lesson

I will pass on any long term deal outside of our own draft picks that don’t go past the age 30 season. Trade em and keep drafting for all I care.

That's the Patriots way.

No Jake McCabe at practice this morning. So that’s not great. Taking McCabe’s spot next to Ristolainen? Rasmus Dahlin

He has had a few iffy games but him playing top 4 minutes has been good for him

Scandella on the other hand has been so bad

Jake McCabe has not been the Sabres best defenseman.

Dahlin
Bogo ( I went there)
Risto/mccabe
Bowl u (I went there also)
Scandella/Nelson

In my opinion

Bogo has also been very good so far
