Fantastic, what a run so far. 9 games out to tied in the standings.

Hope they keep it up, peaking at the right time and are still not completely healthy. I was offered a ticket for tomorrow nights game but had to turn it down because of a prior commitment. I did go two weeks ago when they beat Seattle.

Hey #1 Yankees fan, I must keep missing Severino’s turn in the rotation. You said your source guaranteed he’d be back in the lineup by the beginning of summer.

You got banned for a day. I got banned for 2 weeks. It’s impossible not to post in your space. You post 24/7. Cry me a river you baby and try doing some work for once in your life.

Hall's a fine player who was incredibly disappointing here largely because of Krueger which is, ironically, also the reason he signed here. He had a bad season and was moved for a mediocre return.

I take the acquisition cost into consideration, as well as his performance, his trade clauses and his contract status because these variables had a very real-world impact on the return the Sabres got.

That's why I've been championing the idea that the Sabres should play hardball with Eichel rather than sell him for pennies on the dollar.

The Sabres can afford to wait this out, even if the hockey media in every corner of NA believes otherwise. They had no such luxury with Hall

What was the rush with Reinhart?

There was no fear of an ARB award in terms of it negatively impacting the Sabres cap.

They could've accepted it, or made a one year deal and then traded him after that while retaining 50%?

No, it's called being responsible and paying for a plan in case of a major injury so you can take care of your family and not having to rely on other people.

Tim Kennedy is teaching players, this organization continues to fail daily, all we need now is that moron Kaleta to show players how to slam into the boards.

I'm here for Smoker talk. Was camping with some friends last week, we smoked chickens, brisket and pork shoulder. God damn.

We used a Masterbuilt 1050 charcoal. It was wonderful.

I can. The return could been worse (see Buch) had Buf been forced to get him signed to a one year deal through arbitration instead of letting another team negotiate. Things coulda been worse

And people think this guy is an alt account of mine.

I actually am insulted by that, and believe me, that ain't easy.

But that’s not really an answer to why they had to do it this offseason or right now.

He was Sabres property this whole year

Because he didn't want yo be here.
After they signed him to a 1 year last offseason, then made plans for Hall as the priority and preference to resign...he was gone.

Meh, Sabres are a great farm team, I'm sure that is how many in the league view them. They need to learn how to turn their players "off" during their ELC though.
