Worked well for the Sharks this year.

50% chance the pick goes out west...

50% chance it goes to a team that most here (and around the league) would favor: Cats, Wild, Jets, Preds

I just don’t believe in “winning attitude”

I believe in talent and luck.

The Sharks sucked this year despite all of their experience because they were a bad hockey team.
I’m sure that club had a great “culture” before the year started before it tumbled down this year.

Montreal and Chicago winning a few playoff games this year will have no effect on what they do next year.

how many goalies to carry is not ralph's call...that said, i agree with the premise that this franchise is f~cked up...

but...

that could very well be the karmic cost of loosing on purpose

I posted it yesterday, all alumni contracts, aside from kelly is no longer honored

it's now going to be per event, instead of salary


gets them leaner and the move was made prior to covid, around the time of the kim rant to bills employees

It would be cheaper if they just paid him a salary.

I was surprised at the high end of the salary range in the article.

The stop paying salaries of ambassadors for Bills and Sabres and paying per event makes sense. Many current fans could care less about Danny Gare or Rene Robert but would rather see players from the 2006-07 teams at events like Vanek, Peca, Briere and there are some more recent Bills as well.

Not to mention there will not be any or few events and games this coming year so why pay for nothing?

The Sabres, especially, have been overpaying for nothing for years. As often is the case it takes a woman to clean things up and run things more prudently.

This is a big nothingburger trying to be made into a Big Mac

Yeah it’s a big pay day to guys that played in an era that didn’t pay much.

$50K annually to attend a few events and feel wanted is nice. $100K is really nice.

Those guys made the high end and have a high-end pension. If we are going to feel bad and the Sabres, who lose money every year, as Gil Perreault stated and had no problem with the not renewing the contracts as some on here are having, maybe they should give a stipend to Jacque Richard or Morris Titantic and their ilk and have soup kitchens at the arena too.

that Aristotelian point of view goes perfect with analytics...if you can't see it, touch it, feel it, chart it, it doesn't exist...

i've always leaned more towards the Platonic side of that philosophical dichotomy
