You're clearly a low level executive and do not have a place here. Happy Holidays, here's a $5 coupon off of dog food. (frank) you.

Kraut did you say you were at the Aud night the other day? I was in 115

I appreciate your passion but damn you need to stop flexing. Sitting in a comfortable room around wealthy people and you find a way to make it sound like verbal abuse session.

take a seat dawg, let Fitz pour you a LI and realize your just a fan.

Its fun to banter on here, talk poop to Beady when he isnt banned and enjoy the season.

😉 I don't think you really understand what he goes through in that job position, those extremely wealthy clients can be very, very demanding. Some days/clients being worse/more demanding than others, of course.

Anyone know how salary retention works as it relates to bonuses and base salary? Can you only retain 50% of the base salary, or can you retain a combination of bonus and salary?

Oh, my.

Will they call it "Five-holes"?

I believe the way it is written is you can retain any of it in any combination as long as it’s only 50%.

Ie: a team retains 50% of a players cap hit but doesn’t actually retain salary owed.

I think you can think of bonus as tax free cash. You get all of it, regardless.

You can only retain salaries. I assume you're talking about performance base bonuses, which are conditional and can't be retained.

No, I meant annual signing bonuses. I'm back on the artem anisimov idea

your d1ck swinging is boring.

You do realize that he's also outscoring Sam, the sloth who stinks, Reinhart, Taker of 179 picks in front of, taker of the tandem bicycle spot, taker of drugs, taker of not signing autographs, taker of pp specialist, which sometimes count sometimes don't, can't really tell, taker of being weak even though he goes to the dirty areas constantly. Notice he only takes. What a taker.

I enjoyed, "taker of the tandem bicycle spot" but would argue that, "taker of being weak" could use some work.

So... who’s gonna get their pee pee slapped next ?

Taker of not being as weak as LessThenMiddlingStatsExceptBMIperGerbe.

Nailed it. Best in show.

I would but I was the first one to say you know I'm not liking Skinner's game and the numbers bear me out but damn I caught Hell for that LOL

I was one of the few to stick by Risto because he was being overplayed and...?

I said I was wrong about Bennett and that is what 5 years ago?

I don't have the amore for Reinhart that many Sabres fans, either. So what?

My stance is that their top three forwards are not good enough to lead deep in the playoffs until that happens I'm not wrong.

Few people collapse here and state they were wrong on anything, so what makes me that different except I have different views, many that have been right. It is fun to troll the popular opinion, mostly in good fun. I know this post will piss off some thin skinned posters and that is sort of the fun.

The numbers to bear out the fact he is not producing at the rate we saw last year.
The numbers also bear out the fact he is being utilized significantly less; -25%, and as a result he has
-less shots,
-less high-danger opportunities
therefore less goals and points, while still shooting over his 9 year career average.

So RALPH and Staff have received exactly what should be expected when significantly reducing a player's TOI

Want more production?
Get a 2C who can help drive possession, shots and high-danger opportunities ...and play him 2nd line minutes.

51 years ago today, Landlord Tom was born. Not long after that the Sabres played their first NHL game.
Coincidence? I think not.

You're all welcome. Lol.

Wait, what?
There are other big stars, elite even who are not regularly scoring on a predefined schedule consistently throughout the season?
This is rather shocking.

Yes, well unless the rules say no.

Seeing as JB is fond of bargain bin acquisitions, I'm thinking Erod and a 4th for half retained on Anisimov ($2.25). He's a real center - admittedly past his prime. Senators get a younger roster player with RFA status and a pick. Sabres get some playoff experience and another option for the middle 6. Similar to the Rob Niedermeyer signing back in the day, with a little more offense. He's signed for next year to give some cover for Cozens

Wouldn't be a sexy move, but it would be something

So you like to troll?
- TheSabresTaco

Trolling ideas is the best, I take my notes from the guy in the WH! I knew that word would set off a few posters

I'm thankful Garth has a direct line with Botts

Botterill is now tightening the focus on his list of top six forward targets which includes NY Rangers pending UFA Chris Kreider and LA Kings pending UFA Tyler Toffoli. The Sabres have also been eyeing Vegas Golden Knights power forward Alex Tuch, Minnesota sniper Jason Zucker, San Jose scorer Kevin Labanc, and Winnipeg winger Jack Roslovich.
