Remember back in 2013 when then Sabres GM Darcy Regier said there's going to have to be some suffering? Of course you do and so do Lance and Joe because the layers of suffering Sabres fans have sorted through is worth sorting through.

Another way to suffer from the executive side is not getting out ahead of things and paying your soon-to-be stars in ways to save the team some money and potential future salary cap (not floor!) issues. And boy do the Sabres have some interesting summers ahead if they don't do that.

All that and more we'll let you discover for yourself on this week's episode.

Thanks as always for listening and thank you even more for the positive ratings and feedback.
