I would like to see them offer him some kind of a job just because he is here.
He may not have been great but he played admirably and loves the city. Seems like a slam dunk to me for scout, goalie coach, something-something, etc....

Maybe beauts related or a harbor center hire?

Curious... do you share this same opinion on Marner wanting 11M? Matthews getting 11.5M? McDavid getting 13.5M?

I know points wise those guys are far above Laine but curious if you say this about all younger players or just some?


I think a cap is needed on ELCs (already is), a cap on RFA/2nd contrcats, and then a max cap contract, and then a max a player can be paid in their 35+ span.

There is a max cap contract also

I don’t think there’s a need for 35+ contracts
Teams are already fairly stingy with those

The RFA/2nd contract Cap is an interesting idea
But wouldn’t that result in A LOT of the best players just taking shorter deals to get to Free Agency?

That might end up being a good thing,
and we’d actually get some player movement
Or maybe it results in “super teams” like the NBA where all the best players just make their plans to go play together

In what world is it a slam dunk to have a sub-par goaltender coaching others or scouting for future talent?

I had to look up the Sabres playoff appearances by year after your post. No reason to provide the results, it’s not even close. No other decade of their existance is close to the last 10 years. Effin ridiculous.

Kruegs response to Skinner situation way better than Botterill. Unless he is already signed and they are purposely giving the impression they are a bunch of morons, if it doesn’t happen it will be an absolute outrage. My god it’s was promised before the trade deadline. Too many things out of your control can go wrong by waiting.

You are correct about the results. My point was about Bowman coaching and managing this team. Disappointing.

If the Warriors have to go the rest of the series without Thompson and Durant (doesn't sound like they will), the Raptors will have their first championship in Franchise history on Monday.

Steph Curry's game last night mirrored just about any Championship series game LeBron played and lost.

If the two of them come back remotely healthy, we probably won't find out who wins until Father's Day.

Stop comparing an old team that didn’t win a championship to one of the worst teams in the game today.

Changes need to be made, the Sabres need the right players, Duchene wants Nashville.

Yes. As are all the inscriptions of Duchene's name on the Stanley Cup.
