If he retired now the penalty would be the $10M divided amongst the years remaining on the contract, so only like $1.43M per season for the next 7 years.What if Ehrhoff "retires" now, we pay the penalty, which takes us to the floor, then we resign him?
-
If he is traded and retires prior to the 2020 season, the Sabres have a recapture penalty of $10M$10M cap hit in 2020?

I don't see why Ehrhoff would be a compliance buyout candidate. He has a very cap friendly contract, especially considering most of the real money was paid up front. Only thing I can tell that would be detrimental is the length. And the type of player Ehrhoff is, I can easily see him playing well into his late 30's, if not to 40.
-
That $10M hit in 2020 could be pretty crippling for one season.I don't really think that Ehrhoff's cap recapture will be too much of a problem. What we can get for him in a trade would be more appealing than worrying about the potential of what might happen years from now.
I would rather use the other buyout on somebody else's mistake.
-
If he is traded it will be worse as the Sabres won't gain the credit from the final years of the deal where his cap hit is greater than his salary.
I don't think I would buy him out as those penalties are not likely to be all that restrictive, especially with a rising cap. However, even if salary is retained, I don't think I would risk trading him

At the post draft presser Marrone made it sound like Graham will be playing mostly CB with the ability to move to safety in certain packages, or if injury requires it. Duke WIlliams will be competing for a starting spot and I believe that he's the guy they'd like to win the job.I think the plan is for Williams and Corey Graham, with Searcy as an in the box hybrid type of safety/linebacker. I think that's evident with bringing in other CBs too.
not too shabby with the undrafted signings. Let's see who sticks.

Fred isn't your typical 34 year-old back. Less tough mileage than others. Hasn't shown any reason to believe he can't work on a two-year deal next offseason.
This is often mentioned due to Jackson's short time in the NFL. I'm not sure how you'd research this but I wonder how much work Fred had prior to making it in the NFL. It's safe to assume he played all four years in college and many times guys end up playing year round in lesser leagues attempting to make it. As a result it's possible he has more wear and tear than a typical 34 year old RB.
Brown is at least as valuable as any back they'd have drafted in the 4th this year, likely next.
-
I view it as they added two WRs and lost one, they're still net up one weapon for Manuel at the position. Stevie did not appear to be a great fit last year and apparently wore out his welcome with Marrone.
-
Jackson is 33 and Spiller has some nagging health issues, is a running back in the 2nd or 3rd round out of the question?
No, and with their contract statuses it's probably a smart move to get a guy in for a year before being expected to contribute.
-
What did he pull last year?I'm with you, this would be a stupid move IMO, after what Clowney pulled last year, I would not pay the price of moving up to #1 to get him. I was high on Watkins, but I'm starting to think that Evans would be a better fit for what the Bills need. Ebron I'm not sold on at all. As far as the linemen, Robinson, Matthews and Lewan, one of them will fall to us at #9, if not there is always Martin, if the Bills do want to go for a lineman. If they really think they can benifit by moving up, work out something with the Raiders, it will be a lot cheaper.
Bottom line for me, is I do not want Clowney, I hate when players take a few plays off, this clown took a whole year off. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.

When was the battista interview on?
-
If he's playing elsewhere he is, and if they're paying a portion of his salary it is reducing the overall cap advantage gained. Therefore reducing the penalty.
Maybe you're right, just a thought.
-
The formula is (salary paid - cap hit)/ years remaining in the contract. Seems like if they're still paying him it would affect the amount of the penalty.
-
TM already addressed trading him. They really can't because of the risk of him retiring before his contract ends. Should he retire we'd be hit with a hefty cap hit right around the time we hope to be gunning for a long playoff run., He's either a keeper or a buyout candidate.
After the season they'll have the ability to retain salary in trades, retaining some of Ehrhoff's potentially could reduce the cap hit if the recapture penalty were to come into play.
-
Normally extended deals get tacked on to the end of the existing contract,
And players can only be extended with one year remaining on the deal
-
Butler and Byron as wellHaven't checked for factuality, but holy sh*t would this be embarrassing if true...
@BNHarrington: @mcgoospot Sabres have no one outside round 1 since 2004 with more than 6 career goals!
I'll look more into it...
Took me about ten seconds to realize that Luke Adam and Marcus Foligno prove this to be false. And Gerbe. So three players outside of round one have more than six goals for the Sabres since 2004... Which is still a pretty bad number.
The Sabres have six players TOTAL since 2004 that have more than six career goals. He set it at six because Mike Weber has six career goals, by the way.
-
I don't think that's right, cap geek has them at $37M with only 13 players signed going into next year. Only $15M under the projected floor.Murray will have a spend around $25 million to the minimum cap next season of $52 million. The Sabres can sign a few veteran free agents to blend in with the young guys. The total transformation of the Sabres is complete.
-
Hold on let me get this straight. The islanders traded away moulson, their 2015 or 2014 1st, their 2015 2nd for Sebastian Collberg and if Montreal makes the playoffs they get a 2nd and 5th....
HAHA
Isles are giving the 5th
-
For that return I hope not
I guess it would depend on the prospects
-
to be fair this year hasn't been great statistically either, were his big years in Colorado with Sacco?Well if ur ignoring last yr then his big yrs were only two and three yrs ago or as others have said he's only had one poor statistical season.
-
and 18 goals in 48 games last year, and he's only been in the league for 4 full years.Three and four years ago.
-
Had two 28 goal seasons, statistically his only bad season was 11-12What about all of his other seasons? He's nothing special.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444838What are you hearing about two defencemen at opposite ends of their careers, 35-year-old Chris Phillips and 24-year-old Tyler Myers?
Dreger: In terms of Myers, there is considerable interest according to sources close to the Buffalo Sabres. But GM Tim Murray isn't trying to push this guy out the door. Is he available? Is he interested in moving him? Yes he is. We're looking at Toronto as potentially a fit, as would be the Anaheim Ducks. And the Colorado Avalanche are definitely looking for a defenceman. So there will be options, but come ready to pay a premium.
-
Is there a history of goalies succeeding in that league then that success transferring over here?
Any of the top Swedish goalies, Lundqvist, Enroth, Lack, Hedberg, Gustavsson, Fasth
-
Murray said it's well before the draft.Supposedly by a few picks before. And I'm just regurgitating something I read on here.
Compliance Buyouts
in The Aud Club
Posted
Saw something that said in order to use a compliance buyout on a player that player has to pass through waivers first. Which, if Ehrhoff is claimed on waivers (I assume he would be) the Sabres would then be on the hook for the full recapture penalty they'd be looking to avoid with the buyout. If they're looking to reduce the risk of the recapture penalty the only option for Ehrhoff is to keep him.
