younger people want deals with no prior orders

Provided the Sabres are transferring the risk of the surgery to the other team that lowers what they get for him.

If they let him get the surgery and tge physical shows he’s fine, tasking price goes to normal.

But it costs to transfer risk.

34 that's what makes this situation so weird, Eichel hasn't taken a chance with Arbitration. And the Sabres don't like the Surgery. He could have been 2 moths into rehab by know, you would have a pretty good indication on his health by now with either surgery.

Is Kevin Rooney untouchable? I'd love to get my hands on a tantalizing player like that, but there's no chance the Rags would give him away for a top 10 C in the NHL.

Larry Brooks says no. He's hearing that the latest offer is Jared Tinordi and the Winnipeg Jets 2022 4th rounder

I dont know to be honest. I would guess that 2 messed up neck surgeries and we are talking less about going ahead with whatever you want Jack, and sounding more like, sorry about your career Jack...

Either way the point it moot. Sabres have final say. End of story.

The ONLY way for them to get max value is to allow the surgery and trade him when he’s well.

They will take a hit if they don’t.

That is likely the issue. The surgery is not going to threaten his career, he just wants out and others are looking to use the surgery to offer pennies on the dollar.

I dont know that to be the case, but I would think that if it were severely damaged goods, crap offers plus a first would be fine.

They each want different surgeries. Given no teams are jumping forward with KA’s asks tells me they’re not comfortable with the risk.

That’s just my read.

me: "you get what you pay for"
silence for like 35 seconds... then an awkward thanks and buy

I'm hearing the Sabres may receive half of Brad Richards's leftover hockey tape that was recently found in a storage closet at MSG. Tracking this one

Especially now, not talking about hockey, demand is surging supply is the issue. You’re not getting breaks. Even my company is struggling with that for our vendors.

This is like me saying "The regional delicacy of Poughkeepsie is bad."

I don't live in Rochester nor do I care about their garbage plates

I googled it

As of 2019, Poughkeepsie has no regional food

"At the moment, there's just no specific, particular product that people consider a Hudson Valley specialty," said Brandon Walker, owner of Essie's in Poughkeepsie.

Could there be?

Area chefs and culinary experts have pondered the possibility, and other regions have tried to find an answer.

This week, Stew Leonard’s and Westchester County officials announced “Stews Tank,” a contest looking for a Westchester food that could stand up to signature dishes such as Chicago’s deep dish pizza.

I am a Ra-chester

My GF is from the area and they pronounce it more like

Ra-chess-ter

It's a subtle distinction but one that exists nevertheless
