Apparently Vegas never got the "you can only win Stanley Cups by drafting and developing a core group of yutes" working paper composed by Dr Botterill and Dr Adams.

May not be logical, but it sure is frustrating that most of the expansion teams, and the Utahns, have drastically surpassed the Sabres organizationally.

They're all so much better run. I guess when you have to invest $1B to get into the club you're more willing to get competent people to run the organization, rather than being able to buy in at a relatively low price and running it as your personal hobby.

Not that the new guys aren't hobbyists, but they also have more of an cash investment.

Utah and Seattle are still pretty trash, not 13 game losing streak trash but ..

Why do people assume that isn’t directly from ownership, when all the evidence points that way? We never spend to the cap, you really think that’s the GM’s choice?

Have you never read one of my posts? Jesus. The sarcasm is dripping off of writing out his entire bullshit phrasing.

Florida had the cap space to take KO .... why would they give up an extra asset to have Sabres retain?
They haven’t retained on anyone in FOUR YEARS.

Being able to take full contracts is a starting point…not a f***ing detail.

Yeah all the teams could take the full payment for the year. Teams that couldn’t need not apply. Real bidding wars

Whats that have to do with my response?

I have no desire to look up the others but KO one is just silly.
