I put the onus on both parties for quibbling over 35k.

I put this on the Sabres. Kennedy originally wanted 1.2M and he came down almost 400K. Sabres wouldn't match. I put this on the Sabres for not raising 35K more than Kennedy not dropping 35K when he had already dropped almost 400K.

You guys ready? Here's the gist: team was over budget, team had greater need at different position, Ennis most likely to take spot, Regier is sure Kennedy will get a great deal elsewhere.


So, like i said yesterday. Darcy held a press conference just to say that Kennedy was waived and that were were over budget.

What a fucking joke.

Kennedy is a UFA now.

What invisible budget are we talking about here...it's certainly not tied to any salary cap

Since Darcy Regier doesn't set the internal budget, he only operates within it, the comments from this presser only confirm to me that this wasn't his decision.

No, and no. He was bought out, due to being "over budget". That means that despite the salary cap going up, Golisano didn't make enough money from last season's 1st rd playoff exit to justify spending more this season. Golisano told Quinn and Regier to not spend beyond X amount (self-imposed cap based on meager profit margin), so with the unexpected arbitration award Darcy had to go away from the routine of grooming young players and ditch TK.

We're talking about a $1 million arbitration award...of all the useless spending on this team that is the one that breaks the budget?

So their rule of buying out players is not as strong as the rule of the self imposed cap.

ALL ABOUT DA $$$ DAWG.

Three years of spending to the NHL cap, now we're back to a smaller self imposed cap?

What. The. Fuck.
