    Yea...but they can't.

    You see there is this thing called a verified account, that Twitter gives out to media members and players, to ensure that they are legitimate.

    WGR is reporting that Sabres may now be near the cap.

    No fake account that pretends to be credible has more than 50 followers. That is the easiest way to find a fraud.

    Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

    THey are about 6 million under the offseason cap right now


    IT does explain the tweet - Pegula got a text message about Leino and was responding to it and acciently tweeted it.

    They have too many wingers over 4 million. I would think one is being moved.

    And I agree it is a bit much for Leino, but that is what happens in FA. You overpay for guys (See Montador)

    If the Sabres haven't met with Richards yet have signed Leino and are supposedly at the cap then they have to have more planned....otherwise, why stay and meet with Richards?

    I don't disagree at all, but that is what happens with free agents. And why I hate free agency

    Anyways enough about the Twitter debate, don't want to clog up the thread.

    The CSN Philly article said that this guy was probably the Flyers most consistent player on a night out and night in basis. He paired with Hartnell and Briere.

    Totally explians the tweet.

    She was basically asking if Leino meant we couldn't get Richards... and my guess is it does not prevent Richards... The Sabres aren't stupid, they wouldn't still be meeting with him if they had no way to sign him.

    Depends if they get a superstar like Richards or not. If these are the type of players they end up with, they still won't Cup contenders. I'm not complaining, just answering your question. This is a million times better then before, but the fact remains, this team needs a superstar upfront...
