Jack: No points in the last 4 games.

All jokes and snark aside, he has to be hurt, right? That's just astounding.

I don't think we have any reason to think this. Also, those in the know say that he has been trying to trade for Gibson for a while now. That's not a move that someone makes if they are looking to continue to take things slow.

Have you listened to his recent interviews?

I get the premise that contending teams run into cap issues and manage them out of necessity. Non-playoff teams shouldn't be, like the Sabres of recent history.

The tone here yesterday was to go wild and sign/trade for a few big deals. I think it's pretty clear that's not what KA's going to do.

How many teams is the salary cap effecting right now?

How many key players has Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh, Boston etc lost?

A handful over years?

The cap is a conversation bad teams have.

I’m hoping the conversations surrounding this team has to do with bringing in players and where they fit

Oh boy, I was one of the people trying to hold out hope for Jack for as long as possible. I must say, it is far more fun to root against him than it ever was to root for him. NEVER give a Mbumhole the keys to the franchise. Good riddance.

You don't think Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh, Boston, etc have cap conversations?

Every team does cap projections.

I don’t think the salary cap is as big of a concern to those teams who seem to find a way to add every deadline, never have to trade key players away except for once in a blue moon.

The absolute #1 priority of the Sabres should be to get more good players and worry about that stuff if it ever needs to be worried about.

There’s a large difference between not wanting to pay bad players a lot of money (what we did for years) and worrying about paying too many good ones.

and every year Pittsburgh, Washington, Tampa are in cup contention.

Every year we here how its gona be the end for those teams. That's the point he's making.

Buffalo needs to worry about building a winning team before they worry about who is going to be a "cap casualty"

If/ when Dallas beats vegas in regulation on Tuesday, the knights miss the playoffs.

Down 3 points, head to head game on the schedule.

I understand his point, and I'm sure he understands mine.

Rebuilding teams shouldn't have cap problems.

Yup. A Dallas win in regulation and that ends it.

It’s going to be an interesting game.

Dallas has been hot and cold lately.

He’s def going there as a FA if he doesn’t force a trade.


Is Johnson going to sign here? If not he needs to be traded at this years draft before we lose leverage

Dude, you know it's a bad call when even the Bruins announcers don't even think there was a penalty here

It's something fun to pay attention to, but unless Vegas goes on a run to the conference finals, we're talking about the difference between picking 16th and 17th.

Pick your poison: Vegas goes on a cup run or Vegas wins the lottery (.5%). Not sure which is more likely.

Vegas winning the cup is more likely.
