hang on to him

could be the ace we need if Josh goes down for a month

- homiedclown

That's what I was thinking but if we can flip him for a 2nd? Handcuff them. He's only here on a 1-year deal anyway. Colts keep their 1st rounder with Wentz being injured, it was contingent on him playing 75% of the snaps.

Maybe Jack's testing the pain threshold.

Skating pick up games is like PT for nhl players.

I'm sure he wants neither surgery.

I guess I just don’t see the big deal in this as much as others 🤷‍♂️

To each their own.

I disagree.
Yes it is in the contract he signed.
Tough.
We are talking about an injury that will impact his quality of life, not a sprained ankle.

Honestly surprised you, and anyone would take such a harsh perspective on this.

- IonSabres

he's already playing pick up games so my guess is he is not being completely honest with the sabres, nor has he been for the last few months

his goal is simple, get out of buffalo

I'd consider an overpayment like that

but it's super bowl or bust this year and the other 2 qb's look like trash from what I read

flip side

the sabres said rest and then see

and maybe their doctors are/were not seeing what jack, his agent, and his doctors were "seeing"


skating pick up games make me side with the sabres on this one

Terry's stubborn pride is what got him screwed in the ROR deal. Salary retention is not ideal, but it's better than settling for a bag of Berglunds, and carries more leverage than a short term cap dump that will take ice time from the kids. It's probably the only way to get a grade A piece back in return.

This is a good example of undervaluing Eichel.

Bad PR or not 9 will be a top 10 player in the nhl for the next decade at least.


Adams needs to learn to Hodl, the right offer will come.

I would rather sign Blake Bortles instead of Barkley

Barkley looks blah last 2 years

Bortles is a gun slinger

Bortles is hot garbage on the street piled up outside a Brooklyn apartment building in July, when it's 100 degrees out with no clouds and baking on the pavement.

Give me a break. You seem to think that poor Jack is different or better than any other pro athlete in the world. Listen to some of the stories of the people on here that depend on Workers Comp or cant afford to get anything other than the minimal of care for their neck and back injuries and tell me about that.

He's a spoiled punk who has been placed on a pedestal his entire life and no one has ever told him no. We should have shipped his sorry ass out of town and kept ROR.

For a 2nd you do it. Anything less you keep him for insurance.

At dinner in Houston by myself, traveling for work. Wondering if I’m in a social experiment. I’ve been here 10 minutes, ordered a bee from two different wait staff that greeted me, ate all my chips and salsa. Person asked if I wanted more I said salsa. That was five minutes ago.

Nothing has gotten here yet.

Colts will go after Noles from the Bears. He has history with Reich from the Eagles.
