But over 200K when they have 7M in cap space? That's a douche move if there ever was one.

This feels more and more like Squanto said - don't go to arbitration, or you'll suffer.


This is a move that just kills quality free agents from coming to Buffalo with how you deal with you own players from within. Come on it's not like Kennedy's salary was breaking the budget. But why waive him when you should have given him the year contract and then trade him later on. The kid is just a fucking rookie for christ sake give the kid sometime. I would have like to see him get one more season before people make judgement on a player. The kid was more in a defensive role with the team.
I want this ownership to sell the team to someone that wants to field a competitive team and has a desire to win a cup. I just don't see this happening with this ownership. What a fucking joke this team has become in the last few years with the way they handle players. It's the same shit year and year out develop within and hope you get quality players thru the draft and hope you get a player like Myers or Miller. This team doesn't care about winning but about putting asses in the seats.

That's "a tell" in poker terms that he's lying.

Like T.O. said about Garcia, "if he smells like a douche, and squishes like a douche, he's a douche".

Easy killer, Quinn may blow, but these aren't really "purse strings". Golly has stated his business attitude. Anyhow, the only bad move 'may' be Kennedy release and free agent signings(beyond your means). D.R. made a good signing in Morrison(it's like he had 1 friend left).

Daz, I like how even when every single finger points to Quinn, you still won't stop nurturing your hate for Darcy

I started at page one, and got sick of bs by page 10, so I'll just give you my take on all this(cuz I missed a couple days, and I hope I know all the details). We should have Tim Kennedy, and we should not have Rob Neidermayer. If budget is the issue, then why are you pursuing an old guy that the Devils over-played last year, when you intend to eat money and cap to give up on a good prospect. I've seen a few posts where people are trying to minimize Kennedy, but there has been no indication that his stint should be over before other player's stints have.

On Morrison, good pick-up. Good deal.

As for it being Quinn/Regier's fault, it lies in the lap of D.R. He is given a budget to work with, and it's his job to produce with it.

On the last note, why does D.R. have to smack his lips so hard before he talks that he sounds like he's kissing someone.



I'd take a 36 year old Neidermeyer on my team over a 24 year old kennedy any day. Especially if I'm trying to bring in a Stanley Cup mindset to the team.

The Sabres will spend more money on marketing this season than they would have spent to keep Kennedy.

They have the money. They're just making the active choice to not spend it.

The worst part is, Ill still probably buy both new jerseys. Just have to get a Myers and Kaleta now. I hope to god the third jersey is a yellow one

Take your guesses, kids. Toronto, Detroit, Phoenix, and Chicago. I think he'd sign in Toronto or Chicago if those are the teams. (Just making blind speculation)

Eklund hinted at Chicago, so you can rule them out...

I've been trying to get on Hockeybuzz to see what Eklund has been saying about Kennedy for about 30 minutes and everytime I get redirected to Road Runner Search with the message "Sorry, we couldn't find www.hockeybuzz.com".

Is it true, is Hockeybuzz finally dead? One can only hope!

He (Mirtle) just tweeted he can't elaborate on the teams involved, Kennedy's agent would just say that four teams are interested and he should be signed quickly.
