  1. Perfect ending. Official saw enough and ran the clock like it was beer league. Wasn't Greenway acquired to be noticeable in games like this? Hell, Casey tried to be more physical. I don't think this season is a disappointment. But play soft like this the rest of the way and that's an issue.
  2. In fairness, not liking players due to their contract situation vs production is fine. And credit to skinner, it's no longer the worst contract in the league. It's just still a really bad deal given age and what he is as a player. I blame the nhl and players association for the problem mostly. 8 year fully guaranteed deals along with full no trade protection makes bad situations stick around a lot longer. Especially when you are losing.
  3. Or Eichel's agent. Either way, it's good that this might finally be coming to a conclusion. And yeah, it is nice that this being the story pushed nationally may up the stakes.
  4. The NHL really needs to allow flexibility in retaining salaries. Imagine if we retained 50% this year only to facilitate a trade. It actually may help make trades happen. But totally agree....you can't retain for 5 years. That would be monumentally stupid.
  5. Frank Gore too. Giving UPL a goalie room with this guy could pay dividends, especially in a year that likely doesn't matter.
  6. If jack does that, he risks losing 50M. If he was willing to do that, it would have already happened. My read on this is that jack thinks he should be able to have experimental surgery with no risk to his contract at all
  7. That doesn't make sense from both sides. Jack risks 50M, sabres lose an asset. This needs to end in a trade.
  8. I could make the argument that having 10M freed from the cap has a ton of value, especially in a flat cap world. Don't think we need to win the trade, as long as we gain cap room
  9. Fusion surgery, which has a track record that 50M future dollars can be banked on. I would assume if jack waived future liability that he could get his surgery. Guarantee his camp isn't willing to do that.
  10. He's basically asking for an experimental surgery, and seemed to be doing so very early in the process where wait and see is the medical gold standard. I don't blame terry and Kim at all for this....he's asking for 50M guaranteed to toss a piece of plastic into his spinal cord.
  11. Isn't this better for us in the long run? Free agency in hockey is awful. I'd argue the only time it truly benefits you is when you can add veterans for short money and term when you are looking at making a Stanley Cup run. Count me as thinking McCabe and ullmark both got too much term and money.
  12. Sam would be stupid to not leverage a long term deal in Florida. State tax matters. I haven't read all of this thread, so apologies if this has already been hashed out. While he's a legit NHL talent, is he really worth term at say 7 or 8M per year for 8 years? Go back to last offseason where a bridge deal seemed responsible.
  13. I don't think he was mailing it in the last 2 years. I just think he's shot. I think any and all possibilities to get his corpse off this roster need to be looked into. An expansion draft and a team with no cap hits as of yet - would it take next year's first to be rid of this? Or swapping picks plus maybe Johnson? I don't see how we can be successful with a replacement level player making 9m for the next 6 years.
