I travel quite a bit for work, I always pack a Bills Polo and Sabres polo.

The reactions are very different.
- ImThatGuy

Of course.
Wear a Avalanch or Lightning Polo vs KC Chiefs Polo...Very different reaction.
Hockey ain't Football.

BTW, this Sarasota / Bradenton Fl area is friggin awesome. Absolutely zero doubt about it.
Cool being from Buffalo as there is a Huge former Buffalonian base down here...Bill's Country is real here.

Was in two client sales meeting today, former Buffalonians...we hit it off in both meetings, positive vibes emminated... closed both to decent sized deals.

I think they could put another NHL franchise down here someday in the future, south a bit between Ft Meyers and here and have a pretty good following with the right owner willing to invest in harvesting the large NE and Canadian transplants.
Just need more time to drive more people here...it is working like a charm, freaking people running down here they can't build fast enough.

Yet somehow the Buffalo Bills have been able to attract top free agents and talent.

Must be different cities.....

Thanks for playing.

The Bills are a perennial playoff team

The Sabres are still digging out of the GMTM hole

It’s a p!ss poor comparison
This is obvious
Not to you i guess, but it should be

NHL expansion teams need to win year after year in the South in order to build the long term interest it takes for success

Lots of people doesn’t mean a new franchise will survive, see Atlanta (twice) or Arizona for examples

Or maybe, just maybe they drafted a unicorn, had a WR seek them out for a trade that set the stage for others wanting to be here.
Beaner has done an incredible job in getting guys to sign here as well.
AND, the most important thing...the NFL is So much different to turn a franchise around quickly with the way their contracts and Cap rules work.

Apples to Pigs.

The point is it's not the city, but the buffoon(s) running the team

Replacing Adams with whoever at GM isn’t gonna make UFAs start lining up to come here

And the city does play a big role

Being a Super Bowl Contender mitigates that,
but no GM is gonna come in here & turn us into Cup Contenders overnight

Adams is not doing a bad job
He’s actually got us turned around & heading in the right direction

The Sabres will become successful by building through the draft- and by all accounts, Adams has had great drafts
But there’s only 1 draft a year
It takes time to overcome mistakes of past GMs

They had the 2nd overall pick 8 goddamn years ago, FFS, and then again the next year, and then 1OA 4 years ago. And where are they? Nowhere. And two of those guys are out of town because of the rank incompetence by the buffoons running the team.

And when did Adams get here?

No matter how many times you get suspended you will never stop being a Richard will you

so...................

who has the source the sabres reached out to kadri?

The Sabres found a way while every team was struggling with cap to not be able to utilize it.

its astonishing really.

Players would rather go to Arizona and Montreal, than Buffalo.
- ImThatGuy

So I would not have hated the Monahan trade to Sabres, maybe it sets a value for cap space. Maybe a deal is still there for us. They seem to draft really well, so another first is worth trading but also drafting. Keep stocking the prospects on close to or on entry level deals. Love it.

After he (frank)ed up Harborcenter

Hey just asking, have some Family coming into town and was wondering if anyone was selling 4 tickets to the Bill's game against the Steelers in Oct. Thanks

The 2021-2022 season the Dallas Stars 1st and 2nd round pick from 2021 had were ridiculous.

Super impressive.

I heard Adams reached out to say dont expect a call from them.
I mean, technically they reached out.

We could of used that 1st to dump skinner in 3 years when we will need the cap. Big miss here

You guys are putting a hurting on the Yanks, it would be a all time collapse if the Yankees lose that lead they had.

Skinner is obviously overpaid , but the contract is already signed.

Jeffry could and should put up 150 goals over the next 5 seasons of his deal.

Probably a 6.5/7 million $ guy, but his game should still be effective for the reminder of his contract IMO

o's spanked us earlier in the week

Idk, too close to Tampa, the Bolts would never approve. South of Ft Meyers starts to become Panthers territory, I’m sure they would also try to squash any talk of a team in that area. A third team in FL would most likely be near Homie’s area, up in Freakville.

If Covid didn’t happen and the salary cap went up as “planned” ….. skinners contract would be fine.

Due to Covid. The salary cap stayed the same. That hurt the way you look at his deal.

The flyers and Hayes got screwed the same way. Gave out a crazy deal and then bam salary cap remained the same and Covid came and froze the cap.

So skinner overpaid by 2-3 mill is fine for the time being

Who else are we really signing with that 2-3 mil?
