a quick note on how the GOP convention worked in Cleveland...the hotel i was at was obviously booked at top-rate...good for the rooms divisions...

the delegates and what-nots had their days pretty much planned which meant leaving the hotel for their destination(s) sometime mid-late morning...bad for the outlets/bar save for breakfast which did decent business...

they came back to the hotel late night/early a.m...the state of ohio allowed businesses to apply for extended liquor licenses that would allow them to stay open until 4 am as opposed to 2 am...most of the conventioneers, like over 90%, strolled right by the bar and went to bed...there was very little business from them...

from what i heard, there were designated areas that these conventioneers went to...for the businesses that held these events, revenue was great...ancilliary business, not so much...

one final note...a number of new hotels sprouted up for the convention and when the gop left the competition for regular business was very intense...an airport Marriott that had been such for nearly 50 years went into foreclosure and will soon become a Radisson

just sayin'

SSSS says the Sabres are telling him he’s top 4 next year.

follows what I was told, from someone else in March
Pilut was not happy because promises were not kept

Yeah I am sure a lot of promises were made, sounds like they told him he would be top 4 this year too. And sounds like there is a out in the contract like 39 said. Could go over there and play for a few months and come back, could be a few players that do that. I personally like the kid, but he did falter at times, but wasn't really given a shot. We shall have to wait and see, playing hockey can only help his development m, sitting around won't. This could actually benefit him.

i'm sure a lot of promises are made throughout sports...i'm sure a lot of promises are made in every workplace...

i like your take in that it really could benefit him...if the league gets their games in and there's an out for him to come back to buffalo, he'll have a big head start

You could see a few players from the terrible 7 go over seas to play, especially if those leagues start in September, instead of just sitting around for 10 or 11 months.

I think the disconnect here is how much value people place on point totals, especially for d-men.

Bravo!

I sure hope they stay over there, too.

If he brings back the same roster, I'll be convinced he's trying to get fired

- Powerslave

I agree with the same roster, but playing for some of these kids can only help there development. Plus it's a money issue, especially if the AHL doesn't play at all this coming year.

Well, that was an interesting read until it shut down told me to sign-up and pay.
Paid for 4 years, not doing it anymore.

It seemed to be very spot on from where I got to.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting on Vesey. What did he do to merit a 3 year deal? I didn't see it. A 1 maybe 2 at a favorable price, sure. But 3?
- gcomella34

Ion mentioned vesey on the 4th line.

That's how you compete in the nhl. Talent on all 4 lines.

He did kill penalties. Maybe that's his game?

- Boss34

i think he's got enough talent to be considered top-nine and maybe that's why they're looking at a 3-yr. deal

Vesey is going to leave and I really don't care
I think he goes to Boston

He's always wanted to go there that was where he was going to sign but his best friend Jimmy Hayes told him it was not a good idea so he signed
Where his older brother was..
