Kevo likes to rent empty contracts, he's not into long term commitments. He also gives free reach arounds to GMs who have empty contracts.

Why does a Lightning fan care what the Sabres do...?

Stupid comment, but...Well, let's see;
Been watching the team since 1971 as ~13 yo.
Held season tickets starting the next season with my brother through Paul Weiland (look it up), who was on my paper route and took a liking to me.
Had seasons for 15 years, the began splitting seasons with a larger group of guys for another 12 years.
Watch on average about 70 games a year, although the Covid seasons were obviously less...and admittedly I stopped watching many games in Jan - Feb of the '20-21 season; they were literally unwatchable to me under Freddie...I did take up watching paint dry though...I was rooting for the colors Blue and Gold the most!

I do root for the Bolts, generally keep it mostly quiet until the Playoffs when the Sabres season is over...and not apologizing for it either, IT HAS BEEN FVCKING AWESOME...can't wait for the Sabres to get there!

You be you though. I know you will.

@Sabremetrix
Since Ben Bishop’s contract is LTIR eligible (and only has 1 year left), I’m not expecting any return for the Sabres here


Good ole Sabres.

Quality work, turning the cap floor into a liability. They'd be helping us more than we'd be helping them. It's twisted, but cost efficient.

“Bishop has 1 year remaining on his contract at a $4,916,667 cap hit, but is only owed $3.5M in actual salary ($2.5M base and $1.0M SB).

We currently show the #Sabres as being $18,970,833 below the floor with 15 contracts on the roster.
Bishop is 35 years old. This means that if his contract is still insured his $3.5M in actual salary still owed would only be covered up to 60%.“

Weekes breaks quite a few Sabres stories, wonder if he has an inside source?

Assuming bishop is done playing in the nhl?

Depressing hockey move. Strong business move.
