First grill burn of the year. Chicken splatter

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

With the tone of the tuch situation, if I'm GM I'm shifting my talks w Benson into high gear to get done before July 1. Only takes one team to offer a silly deal to tie your hands both now and w future contract. He's the one piece that has to get done.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@PatrickMoranTB Also depends how many teams he's willing to go to

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@PatrickMoranTB Prob makes sense to send a young C back anyway. Maybe add levi, kulich. Probably just dreaming I guess

@SarahNorway2 Spaghetti squash w mushrooms, onions and cherry tomatoes

@burnsieoriginal As someone who's been to a couple of those old barns this stuff is really cool. Vibe was much different.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

Honestly more disappointed with aj to the pats than Garrett to the rams. Don't know how BUF could have put a competitive pkg together to get CLE attention.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@NotTheJoeMarino A huge part of the "untouchable" conversation is always what's coming back. Obv mcdavid untouchable is way different than rob Thomas untouchable.

@PatrickMoranTB Like tuch skill set more esp for the next 2-3 yrs. Doesn't seem like he wants a short term deal and i don't love the idea of big $ long term for a 30yr old player. Sucks but just don't think their timelines match

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@SabresLive Lock up Benson long term

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@shollander2 'Crossroads Arena' is such a great name.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

Sabres off-season has me holding my breath a bit. Two key questions are tuch's and Benson's deals. Hard to really focus elsewhere until those 2 shoes drop.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@Merk256 Almost as if you should draft players that fit the body type you're looking for instead of trying to drastically change someone. Lost a couple yrs of development for epinesa doing it

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@burnsieoriginal Knew about the talent on the blue line and top 6. Admittedly surprised by how locked in dobes looks. Next question for him is if he's just a guy that got hot at the right time or if he can sustain it. Feels like a PITA BUF is going to be facing for a while. Lol

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

Read somewhere about the idea to bridge Benson w a *wink,wink* long term ext agreement coming in Jan in order to maximize cap space this year. Interesting in theory but I don't really want to screw around w it. Huge piece goin forward. Lock him up

@Sabremetrix NYR syndrome

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@burnsieoriginal Ignoring caufield in the slot is a choice I guess.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@MattKopnak On top of these reasons, I'm also curious as to how much the willingness to waive NMCs has actually shifted at this point. It was a great season but might take stringing a couple together to significantly change how the org is viewed league wide.

[scott monteleone @SMontelone]

@Sxchamps @Joe_McCoy12 I suppose it depends on what's available and your definition of "big game". Cap space factors in as well
