yeah but you cant play maybe next year for your whole life, then you become a perennial poop franchise.

I'm just saying if we keep it up this year we shouldn't be pussies about it. Vegas traded 1,2 & 3 for tatar (yes, stupid) but when was the last time we were in a cup final??? They did it in their first year.

I agree. I just think it's too early to be taking shots on a pure rental. Now if he says he wants to sign here and we can fit him in. Yes, 100%, I'd love to have him and I'd pay the latest of the 1sts and a depth defenseman.

him being almost irrelevant on that team doesn't bode well for pointing to it as a reason they made the finals

ok you got me on that one. still, I dont think we have 3 first rounders to draft in all three spots.

since when are stub hub fees 9 dollars per ticket

anyways bit the bullet, only other game i went to this year was colorado so it can't be any worse than that
- robz228

thats a "luxury fee" for paying for a ticket someone already bought, and also paid a fee on. See? It's a win-win for everyone. And by everyone, i mean ticketmaster.

I seriously have no idea how ticketmaster/stub hub/whatever isn't illegal.

It's called the "gray market" for a reason.

yeah, and they are putting a fee on the seller too. stubhub makes out like a bandit on resale.

ticket sells for 40

charge buyer 50

give seller 30

I think that's exactly why he traded for them. Keep in mind he dealt our 2nd and likely 3rd rounder this year. I can't see him renting, at any significant cost.

Botts say anything interesting?

Could be reading this wrong, but it seems like there's a chance Pilut plays the next game. He was almost giddy when he talked about Pilut's development

Also

"It's a situation where" Botterill's very careful about what he says

Between the lines, it's pretty clear that a few d are banged up. If Bogo didn't play tonight, it wouldn't be shocking.

It's worse. TM is collecting a fee on both transactions. The scalper/original buyer buys tickets and pays a "convenience fee" to TM. Scalper/original buyer resells the ticket through TM's verified resale platform, and TM charges a "convenience fee" to the second purchaser.

CBC and the Toronto Star went undercover at a convention in Vegas and pretty much caught TM reps on camera saying they collude with scalpers. They ran some stories on it back in September:

Is that what grey market means? I know when it comes to camera gear, it tends to mean not an "official" product.
So, I can buy a grey market nikon lens, but they won't warrantee it, even though it's still obviously a nikon lens.
I think it's stuff that "falls off a truck" that never went through QC or didnt pass QC, but wasn't destroyed.

That's part of it too, it's the stuff that lies in the middle of "official" and outright knockoff or stolen goods.

So I was travelling for an IoT conference, yes it's the largest gathering of nerds you'll see outside of a Harry Potter conference. In a major city with an NHL team, so I looked at their schedule. They play when I'm in town.....they play the Sabres when I'm in town.

Problem is the Sharks are in Buffalo tonight and I'm in San Jose.

We're about to find out. Heading out with my Sabres sweatshirt on, but I doubt they care out here too much.

Go hit the bars on Santana Row.

5-4 Sabres

Jones is a bit of a sieve this year. The Sharks have some good offence.

Eichel X2, Rhino (PP), Okposo, Risto

the sharks have fins.

- seedy

I don't hit bars pretty much anywhere I go, even home.

Too old for that stuff man.

What I meant by nobody cares that much, meaning, I won't be walking down the street where I am and get harassed like I would somewhere like Philly.

I'm in Milipitas. Looking out my window at a Cisco campus.

Does Scandalous, Berglund and a 1st for Philly 2nd and Simmonds get it done?

That serves many purposes
