The heat of the summer is upon us. Honestly, it’s hard to believe it’s already mid-July. The summer has flown by so far, and I think it’s partly because the NHL season went so far into June.
Arbitration hearings begin across the league this week. As of writing, goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and forward Beck Malenstyn are heading for arbitration, though either or both could settle a deal with the Buffalo Sabres before their respective hearings.
Elsewhere this week, Tuesday is 716 Day! It’s a great day to appreciate our fair city (and surrounding areas) and for me, an extra-special day as it’s also my wedding anniversary. What can I say? Buffalo, through and through.
It’s also time for Give 716, a local initiative created by the Sabres & Bills foundations where you can support nonprofits and have a chance to get some memorabilia, including t-shirts, autographed items & more. Give 716 kicks off Monday night at 7:16 pm and runs through Tuesday night.
Let’s see what this week brings!
