they're in much better shape for a proper rebuild this time around
- Michael Pachla

I thought they were in great shape last time.

Had young d that had more than a season of NHL time under their belt in Risto, mcabe, Myers, pysyk.

Just drafted eichel and already had Reinhart, and just signed RoR, oh they also had Armia in the cupboards. I also remember still thinking that girgenson could’ve been more of a factor than what he is.

This time I think we have a lot less. We also had a ton of freedom to move forward in many directions bcz we thought we were set at center and d. What’s your take?

I am feeling something similar. Maybe not punt, but more like take a few delay of game penalties until the Eichel situation clears up

Long ways away, but 2022 UFA List is really good and Sabres should be able to offer more than anyone else.

maybe terry should pitch in for half the stadium then
- homiedclown

Why?

My understanding is very few owners pay for their stadiums.

I'm sure the pegula's build 716's and hotels around the area at their own expense.


Their own profit too.......

Building a football only stadium is a foolish waste of our $.

Mulit- purpose stadium though....

There have been several reporters come out with reports that PSE is not asking the state for the full amount

I think we are looking at a 50/50 split

For sure because after the 2021-2022 season they only have one year left of Okposo and then Skinner is the only bad contract and they will still have a TON of cap space

They should play outdoors, but with a roof to protect from sun, and walls to keep the wind impact to a minimum, let me know your thoughts.

Whats the point of playing a winter sport in the fackin beaming sun? There isnt a point and it costs more money AND when the ice starts melting you ruin it for the players and fans. "we'lll just restart the game tomorrow."

You don't play baseball in the snow let alone the fracking rain.

Atleast if they went to Lake Louise they could actually play ya know ON the lake

Olympic gold medalist wrestler Gable Steveson says the #Bills have reached out to him about a possible NFL opportunity, and he hopes to get a chance to play one day.

Having an ice rink in the predetermined plans helps.

I'm imagining it would be a 1st? Having an actual stadium game plan around both football and hockey.

Very unique with the pegula's owning both.

Play the whole season there while they rehab or tear down the key bank center.

Wasn't Armia part of the trade that brought back Evander Kane, which was before they drafted Eichel and traded for O'Reilly?

pretty sure every stadium on the list, tax payers paid for half or less

- Stripes77

that's a big difference from expecting it to all be funded by the people


wonder why that didn't get squished as quick as the texas rumors, unless the backlash is making them reconsider

they did have all that...but didn't have much quality in the lower ranks of the roster or in rochester or in the system to support that...things went pretty well that first year, but the structure began falling in on itself

they usually use a combination--private, state, local, taxpayer

I wouldn't call 13 of 19 for 87yards anything special, plus it's preseason.

Does the article say anything about %'s?

I'm really not upset with the supposed "ask" of 1.2 billion fully funded stadium.

It's not definite and the stadium is something my family would use.

Basic negotiation right now.

Bill Belichick spoke to reporters at Hall of Fame Induction. Said he hopes there are some Patriots going in next year. Evidently he was referring to Mac Jones.

Anyone get the idea eichel comes back for the Olympics?

Eichel gets the team reccomeneded back surgery and his return date could be close to the feb 4-20th dates.

Probably gets permission from the Sabres to display his talents without putting on a Sabres uniform.

Heads to USA camp ready to show the world.


A few months from now 3ER will be repeating this theory with his own name attached. 😉
