eball Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Clay appreciated the 1st class treatment. We have Kim and Terry to thank for that This is one of the first things the Pegulas did with the Sabres as well. I know, I know, it hasn't translated into a great franchise on the ice yet, but the way they upgraded the facilities and entire operation sent notice that it would be a first class organization going forward.

NoSaint Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think Russ Brandon too. It started when Ralph put him in charge and I think it's why he still is involved in this process. I think the guy knows how to roll out the red carpet and sell the franchise/area. heck, we did it with robert meachem too, didnt we? flying guys in on the jet is definitely not a new thing, but is a good thing.

That $10 mill roster bonus in 2016 can be restructured into a signing bonus & give the #Bills some cap relief Now that's interesting. Everyone was slamming us on the two year up front cost but it might not be so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Now that's interesting. Everyone was slamming us on the two year up front cost but it might not be so bad. thats not that interesting.... thats true of pretty much any money in any contract after the first year. its just almost certain in this deal, barring a big surprise.

KDIGGZ Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Clay will be on WGR in about a half hr. Tune in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Clay will be on WGR in about a half hr. Tune in! FWIW - I listened to this interview and the one he had with John Murphy last night. I am very impressed with Charles Clay. I should add that, if you did not get a chance to listen to Murph's interview with Joe Rose (former TE with Dolphins, Miami sports radio host, and color commentator for Dolphins broadcasts), you may want to do so. Joe could not say enough about Charles Clay as a player, teammate, and person. Edited March 25, 2015 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 He doesnt have to. He has people working for him who do that CBF i took it to mean he's never made the decision to fire someone. I knew that didn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
