I will say. Singletary was intriguing last night.

But take into consideration it’s the lions and not many starters played.

But fantasy wise as a late round pick. It’s peaked my interest. By no means do I think he will be amazing

Looks very unlikely...UNLESS Eichel has successful surgery and returns to form.
That is THE only game changer...IMO of course.

- IonSabres


I don't think his health ups the return much at all.

It's all about the very public divorce and how badly the Sabres want to move on from Eichel.

An absolutely great article on The Athletic regarding the BN article that has resulted in very negative perception of the "public" funding for the proposed stadium.written by Tim Graham citing an interview with Nelson Civello, a rather accomplished financier of sports venue projects through municipal bonds.

In the article he explains the difference between taxpayer funded and municipal bond funding; while giving an example of those potential funding levels.
Much different than the BN article, which Civello calls "borderline reckless" reporting.

Couple that with Poloncarz's rather direct and forceful denial that the Pegula's threatened to move if their demands (100% public funding miscast as taxpayer funding)...BN continues to lose credibility if they ever had any to begin with.

Timmy Graham goes top shelf, lol!

To be fair to the BN, their original article pointed out that they reached out to PSE for comment and they didn't reply until after the article was published, at which point PSE said that the numbers being discussed were inaccurate but declined to elaborate.

- kingcong39


That factors in for sure.
However, there is a possibility that it decreases the longer it goes on, and as it gets closer to July 1st '22 , teams who would not be a consideration for Eichel's services might just up their offer realizing it is their last chance to get an elite, not generational 1C. Teams that don't have one and dont have a top 3 pick will clamor for it (In theory anyway).

Hang in their Kevyn!
•Surgery
•Full Recovery
•Proof of Play
•Package

There is your To Do list.

No excuse for shoddy, rookie level reporting with an inaccurate story line.
The paper isnt worth use as toilet paper. Rag.

Graham took an enlightened path.

All PSE had to do was say "This project is in its infancy and it's far too soon to discuss what stadium financing will ultimately look like. We look forward to working with state and county officials to secure a new home to keep the Bills in Buffalo for another 50 years"

They chose to say nothing, which is fine, but they therefore chose not to control the narrative

I see it differentlyi
They should have said..
As usual your storyline is inaccurate and meant to stoke the fears of your readers.
I am sure when the negotiations are completed, your readers will then have the facts at their disposal..which are much different than your story infers. We look forward to delivering Buffalo Bill's football for the next several decades...and we are very confident our fans, your readers will be happy.
Go Bills!

Yes, they could have said something like you posted no doubt. Doesn't erase an irresponsible storyline littered with falsehoods designed to strike fear for readership. They have to be embarassed as hell, as they should be.

I've been in the position of the BN (in college, not professionally) and its very hard to write a story that reads as impartial when only one party is willing to comment. It comes off as a hit piece

"Allen might be even more beloved than Kelly, who was a reluctant and sometimes boorish hero in his early days. Allen has an infectious innocence that Kelly never possessed, an understanding of what it means to be a star athlete in a small, long-suffering sports town like Buffalo.

He gets it. He gets Buffalo, and the people love him for that. Allen is smart and intuitive enough to know that it’s part of being a leader here. It’s something Ryan Fitzpatrick and Pat LaFontaine grasped from the moment they got to town, and something Jack Eichel has never understood.

Eichel went through the motions of leadership, like some of the more forgettable Bills quarterbacks in their time. He has never figured out how easy it was to be loved in Buffalo, how willing the community and his teammates were to follow him, if only he had made a genuine effort."
