Removing Okposo's $500K performance bonus if the Sabres win the cup, the total between Krebs, Peterka, Quinn, Power is $3.145M.

Add in Levi's $925K and it's a total of $4.07M.

As Lunaion suggested, planning for $3M (Power + Levi) is the smart thing to do, which means their cap real cap space is $3M, unless they make additional moves.

That’s not even close to what I suggested. This is why I came out of the pandemic saying Liberals were/are just as bad as Conservatives… no one looks at the grey area, no one questions both rhetorics and no one comes to rational conclusions that are apolitical.

What I notice most is our leaders failed us miserably from all sides and weaponized misinformation.

I see a lot of athletes who were mandated to get the vaccine having heart issues now. You can’t deny there might be a correlation.

It’s honestly insane how black and white all of this still is. I waited to get the vaccine. I got 2 shots and a booster but I was pressured into it and my employer even gave me a $500 bonus.

Then I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and pulmonary hypertension. I want answers, and I am not finding any or getting any. I was having legitimate heart palpitations only after receiving the vaccine.

I never once got COVID the year prior to getting the vaccine nor did I get in the year after getting the vaccine.

Reading up on it, it literally is a nano-machine. It’s a new technology that was being developed for a decade and was rushed to market backed by scare mongering.

I still haven’t gotten any answers and there’s still so much misinformation and smoke and mirrors and now suddenly no one wants to question or talk about it because everything seems fine.

But a few whack-jobs who worked for the government mention UFOs and everyone blows their loads.

It’s insane. Fauchi disappeared. They finally admitted it was a lab leak. Dozens of countries were out in the streets and civil unrest was at an all-time high. Virus shows up and everyone had to get inside. Mental health plummeted. The poor got poorer.

I’m not allowed to question any of this bullocks? Yeah low intelligence lol

People did question the sheep mentality on here. crazy posters like Mike and Boss went full meltdown on here believing everything the TV told them. They would still be wearing masks if CNN told them too. Anyone with critical thinking skills knew something wasn't adding up. Glad I still have my pure blood

Well atleast we have the 7million Dollar Wonder Trio in the fold. Sh!t could have built a 4th line for 3 or 4 mill less than that this year.

See how easy that was, we did something in 13 seconds that the Sabres couldn't do for 10yrs. Put a plan in place.

I don't think theyve stopped trying to move olofsson, though I can't predict how successful they'll be in actually doing it.

I'm invoking the following in response to all the things they are claimed to try and do, but not successfully accomplish:

I think there is zero sense of urgency to do anything other than signing prospects at this point

2 to 3 years from now rochester will fill up and many prospects will be worth 25 cents on the dollar and this plan will fall apart like a house of cards due to piss poor roster construction and lack of finding that goalie and RD for the top pair

I mean how can you fail this rebuild, Sabres have a young Core, they have Quality and Quantity coming up the pipeline. They have the Assets to basically make any move they like. This would be the F@ck up of the Decade.

Union Rd Putt-Putt had the batting cages. Sheridan Putt-Putt became Adventure Landing.

Ownership sold the land the Union Rd Putt-Putt sat on before they made they made the switch to Adventure Landing. That corner was quite valuable.

There's zero urgency b/c lots of ppl renewed their seasons and interest is very high right now.

The doomerism here doesnt really reflect how people in general feel. As for rochester, I think its already pretty close to full, and certainly will be by next year.

The prospect value thing is sort of normal though. Even for the best drafting teams, most won't pan out. But a few of them will likely see their value increase.

I could be swayed either way. I think there's merit to selling high on prospects you've got a gut feeling dont fit into your teams future.

But sometimes the best way to keep the team competitive long term is just hoarding these guys and seeing who can stick. The idea being i suppose that more often than not, the young player on an ELC gives you more value than whatever you could trade for.

It's probably a recruitment issue too. Between the clauses and not being one of the major hubs, there's a limit to what they can realistically trade for . Even after wiping the stench of 2020 off, they got NTCd plenty this summer.
