Don't both Marner and pj boy have NMC in their contracts ?

Albany has an 11-7 lead with 12 minutes to go. If they win the NLL finals start in Albany. Close enough for me to drive if the Bandits are there.

I am guessing that he may get upset that his Finnish buddy is moved.

Only 25% retained! 🤣

Bandits are fun.

The Rangers look beastly. I think they got an Original Six pass on a boarding call, though. If both teams play like this for the entire series someone is going to get hurt.

2024 NHL Playoffs - Round 2 Discussion Go!

I'd trade Skinner for a gift certificate to Mr. Sub.

Yeah, this deal really turned the roster into a mess. In addition to your take on replacing Mittlestadt, the Sabres really need a couple of veteren, stay-at-home defensemen in the top four to pair with Dahlin and Power. Bryam isn't that type of player. It'll be interesting to see what Ruff contributes to the construction of the roster.

Thanks for the heads up. I've caught a few games on Hulu, but living on the other side of the country I lose track of the season.

Actually, that game started at 4pm EDT and Moose Jaw is up 1-0 early.

I'd trade Skinner for Marner...but the Leafs certainly would not do that.

They play game 6 tonight, 7pm Moose Jaw time. A loss would leave plenty of time for Savoie to fly to Rochester and get a few practices in.

WTF? Why should he care about Joker getting moved? Why hopefully. Keep the better of the two.

What? This is soft and more soft. When did he get skipped over? The Sabres refused to bring in a real NHL for several seasons waiting for someone to take the job.

Yup. I wanted him when I thought he was a UFA. 7 years left on that deal is atrocious.

Levi's saved 101 shots of 106 against the last two games for the Amerks. UPL was more consistent last season and mostly played well. Levi was up and down, but he seems to have found his groove again in the playoffs for the Amerks. Levi may use the confidence earned this playoffs to take his game to another level in the NHL next season and become the No. 1 goalie. The great news is maybe just maybe the team will have competent goaltending for 82 games next season and wouldn't that be a nice change.

From Jeff Marek’s Rink Fries Speaking of netminders the Buffalo Sabres' negotiations with their RFA goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen should be fascinating to follow. It’s no secret UPL has been miffed at times with how he’s felt skipped over and for good reason. As the Sabres enter a phase where their big contracts all kick in and they need to watch every dollar closely, let’s see where the decimal point lands for their No. 1 goalie. I’m guessing somewhere between $4-5 million on a five-year deal. We’ll see.

If Moose Jaw gets eliminated in the WHL Playoffs I believe Savoie would be eligible to play for Rochester

Taveres to Buffalo for Levi and Clifton???? How about for Tokarski and Clague?

Good thing we traded him without a plan to replace him. We have no 3C NHL ready prospects, Krebs isn't good enough and most of the guys who'd be perfect for the role have NMCs so they aren't coming or have expensive contracts (or want an expensive contract) or both. Take, for example, Anthony Cirelli. Good hard working two way center. Comes from a championship team and only 26 (27 in July). He also doesn't have a NMC (yet) and is on a team that my have to cut payroll. Sounds like an ideal fit. However this player's max offense is has been 43-45 pts. He hit his career high in goals (20) and pts (45) this past season. Unfortunately he is under contract for the next 7 years at 6.25 per season, or about what it would have cost to keep Mitts (back to back seasons of 59 & 57 points).

The guy you're thinking of is Javon Solomon. I think Sal Capaccio and a couple of others have compared him with Jerry Hughes, who was a great pass rusher for quite a few seasons for the Bills.

Freakin delusional.

Wilson has seven years left at 6.5 million AAV and he has already started his decline in production. And his metrics are atrocious
