larry quinn was on shredd and ragan yesterday talking about it
the slug is the prime symbol, but it will have the crossed swords underneath it, plus a new shoulder logo
he thinks people will like the overall effect of the jersey, symbol, pants, socks, etc…

He never said anything about the swords, he said there would be words under the logo. and also said that there would be something on the front of the jersey that no other team had.
no other team has a yellow piece of shit on the front of their jersey so that answers that!!!
My guess is that there will be numbers on the front, so people that want a blank jersey are gonna have a big empty patch on the front.

Thats good to hear. I was a little on the fence about whether the sabres should keep him or not. But it really would be stupid to let him go, he is a key player for this team.

from a friend who works with the sabres organization:
- max 3yrs/10mill is official and will be announced tomorrow morning by the sabres
- robTc is correct (or possibly both)
- lindy ruffs projected lineups for this season are SICK…top line will be VERY unexpected by most 😉

btw, for those keeping score, at this point with brieres contract considered, buffalo is OVER the salary cap
seriously, did ANYONE ever imagine a buffalo team ever going over a salary cap? :lol:

Yeah I love it though…I dont know if I could be quite the Sabres fan if they dropped max…
with the team they had last year its easy to see why they are willing to go over the cap. The extra revenue they received from the playoff run had to be a nice chunk of pocket change

Salary Cap is $44 million…Buffalo is at $34 without Dumont, Miller, and Kalinen
