A person with direct knowledge of Jack Eichel's contract confirmed to The Associated Press that the Buffalo Sabres forward missed out on a $2 million performance bonus in his contract by a mere decimal point.

Ranking the winners through Day 1 of NHL free agency
2. Buffalo Sabres: GM Tim Murray continues to impress with his aggressiveness, signing Kyle Okposo to play on a line with Evander Kane and Ryan O’Reilly. At the draft, he acquired Dmitry Kulikov, 25, to fill a major hole on his blue line. If the Sabres get strong goaltending, they will be a much-improved team.

he's the kind of player who gets you beat.
good riddance.

That's fair...to each his own. Cheers.
How I long for the excitement of a Kassian for Hodgson deal, straight up. The future was so bright then.
cheer up...Stamkos is coming.....

My prediction. McGinn will be traded and the board will explode because we got ripped off.
no details yet.....but i dont like it.....laffin

the team leader in plus/minus for a third round draft pick ?
i'd say that's a salary dump.....but apparently we are paying half of that.
I don't get it.....I don't like the trade.

FN atmosphere is NOT the same.
went to the SAB/Toronto game in Oct, usually a raucous crowd......it was dead til the final 5 minutes of the 3rd.

i'll keep saying it....
you will NEVER get players and coaches to "tank".....their livelyhoods are at stake.
GM's and owners ?....maybe (i.e colts/luck)
anyways i'm sticking with my original prediction, Sabres will finish drafting position 5th but win the lottery and pick 1st.
-
Robb, Talisa and Catelyn are dead, now that just ain't right!
you got 2 out of 3 correct.....

5 Players Every GM Should Offer Sheet
The ability to poach RFA’s from cash-strapped and cap-maxed teams is one of the most underused tools in the General Manager’s toolbox. Here are five players to make them reconsider:

Forgot to post this but when I was listening to the interview and heard the comment I immediately thought it was a veiled shot at Nolan, who is not an X's and O's coach...
The section of the interview starts around the 12:00 mark of the interview where they are talking about what kind of coaching candidates he is looking for...
http://www.wgr550.com/Sabres-Tim-Murray-discusses-Babcock/21546278
Anyway the comment was:
"These coaches are pretty smart, they're very aware of analytics, they're very aware of a lot of things...I don't think there's anybody, not even the most old school guys that are gonna come in here and say 'We're gonna work hard, we're gonna forecheck hard, and we'll let the chips fall where they may.' There's way more preparation involved than that. These guys aren't stupid. This is a big job, and they come in prepared and try to wow you."
I was like...whoa...sounds like a direct shot at Nolan's "work hard and forecheck hard" mantra, lol
every coach has strengths and weaknesses...
no matter what any says, someone can find an insulted/injured party that fits.

imo this was about having FINAL SAY on the roster.
-
toronto could offer babcock FINAL SAY over the roster and get a gm to handle contracts.
most likely reason

Mike Babcock to meet with Red Wings GM once more before decision
that's to let him know he's leaving.....
it's all but a done deal.....

players are celebrating sticking it to the fans they think have turned on them ?? .......priceless.
players will never "tank", but why didn't the players put forth this renewed effort before they were eliminated from the playoffs ?
fans are smart enough to know that long term goals sometimes trump short term goals.
fans are NOT booing individual players.....they are hoping to improve the "teams" chances of a better future.
