Erie County contracts out that work …… blame the company that failed at shoveling out the stadium and not getting enough people.

Pegula doesn’t own the stadium. Erie county does

- Sabretooth9

No they Don't, not that stuff. The Bills do most of the Stadium employment for that, them and Jani-King who the Bills hired for all Stadium Cleanup.

Adams overpaid all of these worthless players to ensure the only return he gets is future considerations

Who is taking that Olo contract? No one, even to get a 5th would require Adams to retain - which Terry will decline.

The respect for Okposo in reality is pity from the rest of the league. If he gets traded his impact for the next team will involve 0 leadership responsibilities….he’ll be a 4th line plug on a good team and no one will talk about him. If he says aura in a hockey locker room he will get his ass beat.

The UFA’s are overpaid bums, the Sabres are not a good team. The for sale sign being out is another smoke screen for Adams to fall back on and say he tried.

By the time they trade Olofsson he will probably be owed less than 2mill in real money. It's not the contract at that point its that he Sucks.

President Terry talking about the team he likes while remaining completely silent on the poopty one.

Btw: The problem wasnt the snow; the problem was their cheap asses offered $20/hr to shovel when Green Bay pays $50. Better believe I would have been there for $50/hr (or $30 for that matter) when I live 5 miles away

- Hank Balling


$20/hr is a joke, and you can't even stay to watch the game. He's a schmuck.

Back in the 80's when Minimum wage was like 3 or 4 Dollars a hour. The Bills would offer 10hr to come and clean the Stadium. Only needed Working papers back then. It was a easy way for a kid to get his Party money. I used to live right by the Stadium and a bunch of us would go do it. It used to pay for some Nice parties at the Tree behind Windom Elementary.

Yes it is, but there's only 1 team at this point that won't have atleast 6mill at the Deadline and that's Toronto. Every other Team in the NHL will have room at the Deadline. Toronto is at 900,000

The real money owed doesn't matter, unless you're Pegula.

It's always the cap hit that is the problem.

With so many teams over the cap and using LTIR, it's tricky to use deadline cap space with how that can be manipulated.

Nobody is taking Olofsson, even with 50% retained, unless the Sabres took at least one bad cap player in return.

Do you really think that's going to happen?

Adams has shown no interest in those types of deals, and I highly doubt the Peggy Bank will approve any deals like that.

As of this morning, I count at least 20 teams that will not have $6M in cap space at the Deadline.

We can only hope they deal Okposo, Girgs, Jost....need that to ensure they get the signal there is no space here for them anymore

The only team that CapFriendly doesn't say at 6mill in Cap Deadline Space is Toronto.

I really don't give a F@ck if it happens, I really don't give a F@ck what they do the rest of this year. It's about next year again and this F@cking Organization has No clue what there doing. So it will probably be about the following year by TC.

The for sale sign out on players shouldn't shock you, what should shock you is it's only game 42. Most GM's are making a so called " push" sounds like he's giving up and trying for more picks that will help is 2031.

Well, we just need a couple more Top 5 Draft Picks for:
- 1, maybe 2 Top 4 RhD
- 2 Middle 6 Power Forwards
- 2 Top 6 Scoring Winger
- 1A/1B Goalie

Let's see, that is 6 Draft selections...say over 4 years ...add in 3 years of development ...2024 + 7 Years
Dude, this team is going to slay it in 2031!!!

The only team I can see at this point is Toronto that won't have money to spend, and the numbers will change as players either get hurt or come of LTIR by the Deadline. Washington and Vegas don't have much I missed them but they both have some room.

Looking at the LTIR summaries on Teams and what they could have at the TDL. I missed Washington and Vegas but they still have some space.
