They are cheap... Just cause they spent ridiculous money on ridiculous things 4-5 years ago doesn't mean they haven't been cheap for 3 years now.

Explain taylor hall and spending to the cap up until last season?

Paying eichel, they have been cost effective for 1 season.

Last season, arguably their best season ever under the pegula's.

He sucked balls, like you.

Doesn't mean the owner was cheap, because he scored 2 goals.

Guy was a former mvp just a few years ago.

"The Biggest UFA signing ever" is what you said.

2 goals is what he got....

Big signing turned into nothing.

Sam. Not a locker room guy. led the team in goals and pts that year...

So were gonna have a bunch of crappy prospects now too?

Terry was at the interviews.

Better save your hard earned money and not go to a game again.

The pegula's definitely wasted a lot of money and went a different direction.

Covid pandemic and the cost cutting move/ hiring of KA kinda happened at the exact same time.

They just signed the biggest ufa ever a season ago in Taylor hall.

We finally are building the team correctly.


The pegula's may not be running the organization correctly, but acting like they are cheap is absurd.

- Boss34


I opted not to call them cheap, but all signs say this is currently a budget organization.

A 1 year 8m deal is not the biggest ever. Their contract moves that summer were short-sighted and hurt the team significantly.

Led team in goals and points = gets the 28thOA pick a year later and a 7th round goalie prospect

Something doesnt add up dirty d.

Which ufa have the Sabres paid more for than 8 million?

Any other former mvps?

Jack hurt the team, still can't comprehend his bad influence?

$4.75 for olo, good luck, we're not tampa.

He's looking at 5-6 million per. IMO

- Boss34


Maybe.
Depends on the number of UFA years included in the contract term.
If he gets 6 years, then you're probably right.

I based my estimate on 3 years, so only 2 years of UFA...
For comparison, the Twins projection is 4 years at $4.95..so, 4 x $5.0

One year less of UFA contract year should equate to slightly less, IMO.
I discounted it by $200k (4%)


What does your Fantasy mag say, lol.
Sorry Bossy, couldn't resist.

Don't have to look far. They paid Okposo 42m.

I don't blame Jack and Ralph for everything. I know I'm in the minority.

They are cheap with the things the shouldnt be cheap with and when it comes to spending they really don't know... 8 million on Taylor Hall for what again 2 goals?

- DirtyDan



Sorry, but this post makes zero sense.

What exactly are they cheap with?

You wanted them to just start throwing money around in the beginning of a rebuild?

Fact: they've spent to or close to the cap way more often than not.

It is not the owner's fault Taylor Hall was a piece of crap here.
