The Sabres are killing the Bruins tonight.

Odd night. Visiting teams won 6 of 7. Only home team to win was NYI over the Avs

What a wonderful way to start the morning…

If I were their competitor, I would definitely promote #Duracelly as a hashtag to have their posts bombarded with reminders of their competitors products in the comments section.

Yeah, I had to look at it a couple more times. It does indeed look to be the case that Stone was tripped.

There must be something in the CBA that if there is mutual agreement for the contract to be terminated, the team is no longer on the hook for the cap hit (not even a cap penalty for the Blues or Canucks ) Saad is leaving significant money on the table.

Saad is leaving significant money on the table.

That is a huge gamble on his part with the hopes of getting an NHL contract. My only thought was he didn't want to play in the AHL after clearing waivers?

EDIT: I didn't see the post above stating that until after I mentioned it.

Mutual termination. Has always been an option, the player just usually doesn’t want to do that because he usually wont get that money elsewhere.

Which is definitely the case with Saad. Really ballsy move on his part.

Does that include the Sabres?
