Also RJ should retire. He is shot. Cancer messed up his magical voice.

I have to give Adams props here, he's leading the league in signing AHL tweeners for 700k that no one has ever heard of.

Really putting in that work while we have key RFA's he can't manage to get under contract

it's really no big deal, is it?

It’s not at all a big deal. You could sign Andrew Peters to the same deal and send him down the roch. Players like that won’t make or break your overall Sabres roster.


But 700K does

700k is a league minimum...all teams have players like that

Listening to Emrick makes me want to call the suicide hotline.

I honestly think there is a case to be made that the game took longer to pick up in the U.S due to having to listen to him, along with all of the absolutely brutal regional coverages of most U.S. based teams.

Gord Miller is my personal favourite

- Pegullaville


I agree, I was not a fan of Emrick's, His voice was annoying and I think he charged the wording of hockey too with his pwn use of descriptions of plays. The whole NBCSN and NBC team blows but people in Buffalo are spoiled because we grew up with HNIC which is the best with talent and production. NBC seems like a few notches below, Doc included.

Steven Fogarty.

I meant girgensons extra 700K lol


And yeah I agree with you about the 2 way deals.

I really wonder if the AHL and ECHL will have a season anyways.

Asplund and a few others might just want to stay out playing in the Swedish league

He can. He of course won't figure out how to lock up Ullmark, Reinahrt, or Olofsson to team friendly deals before arbitration.

Or do anything about the goaltending, or defense log jam.

But hey, at least Rochester is getting super deep!

I'd like for them to look like they ever have a clue.

They will end up paying up the ass for all of their RFA's while letting the cheap ones go.

Be patient. I predict at least one will sign before arbitration. You said the Staal trade was the last big move they would make on one of your last despondent rants while attacking KA. Sit back and see what happens.

They are signing these $700 grand players because there very well may not be an AHL season and there may be a B type league where they have players they carry for when the NHL players go down. KA is thinking ahead, what a thought!!
