There is the 23-man limit for roster space and also the 49 (or 50?) limit for number of contracts a team can have (which will make our abundance of picks in the last few years a small problem in the future). If they have room to accept another contract but we do no - i.e. they have 23 players on the roster and 47 players under contract but we have 22 players on the roster and 49 under contract - and the deal was Stewart for Conacher and Lazar. They wave Conny (making room on the roster), trade Stewart for Lazar (contract number remains the same, the Sens are back to 23 roster players), we then make room by trading D'Agostini for a 5th and then claim Conacher from waivers.

Multiple trades happening? I was more musing than suggesting it as a viable option. However, it would be an interesting way to give a player to a team if number of contracts were an issue

Sabres have first refusal... An underhand move in a trade? (something to do with the number of player contracts we have - this gives us 24 hours to make room but gives them instant room to accept players?)

It's a game of chicken now. Everyone's waiting to see who blinks first

They also got a solid line third centre for that price though

Fun game to watch at the very least

Man that is cheap!! Wish we could have snared him

###### it. I'm in. In a bizarre way i feel i owe it to him. A bottle of wine shall be my co-pilot through this flight. Here's to the shutout

:'( I'm gonna miss him. He was my favourite Sabre since I became a hockey fan. Nice video.

What if they also told him the moon landing wasn't faked :s Murray is in for quite the roller-coaster when he finds out aliens are real as well

To summarise the last few pages: "What was said at the press conference did not confirm my pre-established ideas of the dynamics in the Sabres senior management team, therefore I disagree with it/disregard it/think it is BS"

The Pegula hate is beyond weird to me. It is his team if he wants to make himself the GM then fine. it is his property. Despite this, would people still rather have TG? No. They wouldn't. Pegula is good for this team. I'm not going to leap to any conclusions about who the villain is and how TP is a monster in sheep's clothing etc. It is pathetic to do that. We all know nothing, but are quite happy to bitch about people because some have pre-conceived ideas and conspiracy theories. All we know is something happened to make PLF resign after a few months. PLF has done this before in NY I see no reason Pegula needs to be at any press-conference. People think he meddles and then doesn't show up to deal with the fall out. but what if, he doesn't actually meddle and isn't at any press conference because that is the job of the people he hired

This is interesting. Honestly I'll admit to being confused what a hockey president's role is (especially like 3 of them). I'm not necessarily sad or angry, but i am tired and drunk. I'd also like the full story

If a cockroach can survive nuclear war I think this shows the universe is consistent

I really don't. I want a captain. None of this leadership by committee where 12/23 players were letters over the season

They're second in the league atm. They are already a really good team. They just got even better.

Is he actually?

Miller had one game in the two weeks. Enroth went to Russia on holiday. Did Tallinder even get any ice time either?

Are we winning because everyone else sent lots of players to the Olympics whilst our guys were all well rested

3 point night for Myers. Let's hope the beast is waking

Apparently Leino can get more useless. He can injure our most valuable UFA asset 5 days before the deadline. The man has no rock bottom. It is unreal

I thought the same thing. Must be a bit of a mind ###### for Bryan

I would still keep Myers

This is also Enroth's chance to take command of the net

Flip this deal is awesome. This Blues team has to get to the conference final...right?? Ott/Miller for 2014 1st, 2014 1st, 2014 2nd, 2015 1st, Carrier, Carrier (Stewart for 1st/Carrier style prospect and Halak for 2nd) That would be some haul. Obviously we are unlikely to trade Stewart for anything other than a good prospect but easier to think of it in this way
