Good, Then I expect Jack will have a 2 point night Thursday night against Calgary when his team desperately needs him to have one.

Gonna make the 6hr trek on the weekend to Buffalo to watch the game vs Flyers. First game in years, very excited especially with OP signed and playing. Any advice for local brew pubs or wing places within walking distance of the downtown core? Gonna make a weekend out of the trip. Thanks.

We're in a good place to get one of them. That'd go a long ways toward fixing the right side.

All solid defensively as well.

Skinner makes almost double what Tuch makes too.

Really hoping that works out, as has been said, losing a 1st rounder for nothing would be a big blow.

Tuch has a bigger impact on whether the team wins or not.

Heck Cozens has a bigger impact on whether the team wins or not.

Skinner is making more than the rest of our top 6 combined.

If you don’t see the issue with that, I’m not sure what to tell you.

In regards to your comment about the lightning a few pages back, can you tell me which one of those super stars you think is overpaid ?

Point, Kucherov, Stamkos, or Hedman ?

There is a difference between paying up for elite talent, and paying Skinner Ferrari money when he’s a Honda Accord

I don’t honestly care.

It’s absolutely so stupid to care who makes what on a team so below the cap, and will be below the cap for 2 years min

Not to mention you're losing probably 3-4 million of Okposo's salary by that point, at the very least.

Because it's a fun hockey conversation, and pivotal to both the WC playoffs and the Buffalo Sabres draft situation. Thursday night is a big game. Vegas will have Calgary and Edmonton back to back. Let's see what Jack's got. I'm betting not much.

"Pegulas have no reason to be cheap anymore. "

You're living in an alternate universe.

They are getting killed at the box office, merchandise sales and pretty much every facet of being a professional hockey team owner during a pandemic.

The Buffalo Sabres represent a very small part of the Pegula income stream.

Remember how desperate we were to sign Hudson Fasching, then he scored in his NHL debut but never again. That was cool

Pearl street is still awesome, probably make a reservation though.

Southern tier (old 716) need to get there early for seating

Pizza plant- excellent, also play it safe with a reservation

Labatt house - good food

Cobblestone - great wings, very limited menu.

All expensive, but good food

Boy OkposA's game has been irrelevant the past few.

Maybe showing some age?

You own a double in north buffalo.

Now you buy a couple more doubles in north buffalo

Who cares if the first one is making money?
Small part of your income stream...
Of course not.

Successful people don't think that way. They want to make $, no matter how much they have.
It's part of the challenge.

Keeping costs down in regards to the Sabres should be a no brianer ....
