    Power is on his ELC (rookie contract) for just one more season.  After next season, he will be an RFA and need a new contract.  So it’s either this offseason or next offseason that he will sign a new contract.  Either way he makes the same amount next season.  Contract extensions don’t kick in until the original contract finishes up, even if they are signed early.

    Would he not get a fat signing bonus or is that just NFL contracts ???

    For who? Too late for Bedard, who's next?

    At this point your looking at 2024... You can grab a few picks possibly in 2023 and maybe package some moves and get a rebuild started. But with salary caps tight for the league getting value for some of your players is going to take more than a couple of months

    Is $6.6 realistic for Power?  I'd guess he would not sign for less than $8 million for that much term....but what do I know....

    He is still a RFA when his rookie contract is up so the cost is controlled some. Its up to Power to sign a contract extension early for a significant pay raise, or wait a couple of years till the rookie deal expires and get a moderately better RFA contract deal then, So its take significantly more money for immediate future or push it out and wait for a bigger payday

    Given he’s never played hockey at the professional level, I didn’t like how KA said Levi “earned” the right to those starts at the end of the season. Maybe I’m just taking issue with the word “earned”, but I could see UPL or Comrie having an issue with this. He should’ve just said “given his skill, we thought he gave our best chance for winning.” 

    UPL and Cromrie did the opposite of earned when you review the season

    Levi showed more in 7 starts than UPL and Cromrie did over their careers to date IMO

  5. Do not change a thing. Keep the developing and the great drafting. Find the under the radar FA types. Fully expect playoffs if we do not make a single move, but I do feel we will make a move or 2 this offseason. 

     

    Patience is paying off and I expect it to pay fat dividends. Look at Mittlestadt... The team gave him lots of time and now nobody wants to move him as he has demonstrated he is finding his niche... We have seen the same story with Tage..

     

    G is a curious situation. I fully believe Levi is an annomaly... He will excel in pressure and I think he can handle at least half the load... The question is wether we do bring in a vet or roll with what we have.

     

    I am perfectly ok with the franchise direction and see a very bright future

    1.) Goaltending will be marginally better this year. Comrie proves he may be a keeper

    2.) Power, Dahlin Samuelson (Sabres D core)  prove to be all that and get accolades from the press

    3.) Sabres will be in the hunt for a playoff spot come March, it will be close but they miss by a few points

    4.) Tage will do well again this year 35 G 40 A, but does not surpass 40 G

     

     

     

    1.) Not looking good, but jury is still out

    2.) homerun

    3.) 2 lousy point miss

    4.) Tage surpassed expectation

    Noone said over pay.  Noone wants to do it at the expense of the future.

    Why is nuance so difficult?

     

     

    Yes there were plenty of fans saying give up this this and that to acquire players who were being paid lots of money and have term and would directly effect the teams future for a quick fix that more than likely would of kept us from the ulimate goal of building a true, lasting contender.

     

    I honeslty don't understand nuance in this case.  Maybe you were not one of those people but c'mon you read the same messages / social media BS the rest of us do and thats what I heard over and over again

     

    You also have fans now screaming wasted opportunity, yet our core nucleus is just entering their prime so the opportunity is extremly far away from wasted

  8. I'm perfectly OK with the direction the team is heading and can see improvement. 

     

    Looking forward to next season and more improvement, more growth, more excitement

     

    To those desperately wanting to trade assets, over pay for FA's on the downside, making bold moves to win it all now at the cost of a stable future..... pffffffffttttt!

    Because it burns a year of his ELC and gets him 1 year closer to being an RFA and 1 year closer to being a UFA after that.

    I understand ELC in this case

    but if we are only going to play him when we are officially eliminated then what you are saying is if we don't play him this year he walks

     

    So if Ryan is holding out and will only sign with Buffalo if he gets to burn a year then he is basically rooting for Buffalo to lose or he wants to re enter the draft

    I’m assuming Johnson’s team is trying to apply some leverage to get a promise of a game this season, and that is the holdup.

    Im also assuming that KA promises that game as soon as we are eliminated from the playoffs, and as soon as we are eliminated he signs a contract.

    The question is why does that change anything,  basically if we are not eliminated then he doesn't play a game this year... That would not change 

    If we are eliminated he gets a game or 2.... but If he stand tall through all 82 would Johnson say screw it, refuses to sign a contract, and go back to the draft because he couldn't get a game in this year ?

    Because no one cared about the woman. And they wouldn't have cared about the dick if his father hadn't scored in double OT vs. the Flyers.

    Sorry but I will continue to ***** on the hypocrisy in this thread.

     


    a grown man took the wheelchair and pushed it down the stairs for a laugh, but that's hypocrisy... ?  The person in the wheelchair knew the bar had limited access and still entered willingly. They even had friends to help.... The only thing news worthy in this thread is an arrogant, ignorant, moron who obviously has a broken moral compass

    yes you can question the bars lack of elevator access to the 2nd floor, but none of that is appaliing as what Briere did, he is the story, and really the main story here, and Briere deserves all the comments.

    you don't actually think the bar is more to blame here.... the bar will get scrutinize but its not even close to what Briere or any human who deliberately screws with a disabled person has done.

     

    if you think it is hypocritical to be more upset with someone who tossed the wheelchair down the stairs for merely a laugh, well I'm not surprised.

    Do you think Erieites don't drink?

    It's funny tho. No one wants to address the idea that a handicapped woman had to be carried down stairs. Yep the villain is DANNY BRIERE's son for pushing an inanimate object.

    A federal law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires most business and facilities to provide reasonable access and accommodation for all disabled customers, clients, and members of the public. The ADA applies to almost all businesses that are open to the public, regardless of size.

     

    So the bar needs to update their facilities

     

    But how does that become a preffered talking point over a grown man pushing a wheel chair down the stairs for a laugh
