We have a defence. I repeat, we have a defence.
-
I want more speed with Eichel.
Girgs is quick.
Could swap Pominville and Baptiste.
-
Girgensons - Eichel - Pominville
UFA - O'Reilly - Okposo
Kane - Reinhart - Baptiste
UFA - Larsson - Bailey
McCabe - Ristolainen
Scandella - Antipin
Beaulieu - Bogosian
Nylander, Fasching, Guhle, Falk, Fedun, in Rochester.
Gorges 7th D

Does Pommer or Ennis have a better season? I think that is what will be most interesting this year. Who is going to drop the gloves for this team? Girgs can't fight and who knows with Kane. We gained some speed in the off-season but man, pretty soft team overall as far as I can see.
That's ok, we can trade for Ryan Reaves after our third Cup.
-
Moulson and Kane are our only left shot wingers now lol
-
Love it.
Good luck Marcus and Tyler. I'd say we just traded the last remnants of Darcy's team, but we got Pommers back so...
NO MORE GORGES!!!
Indubitably.
Scandella was one of the Wild's best offensive defensivemen
Pominville will slide into Gionta's spot but he'll be 35 when the season starts
Going to miss Foligno's physicallity
Wish Ennis well but he hasn't been the same in 2 years
If Scandella comes back healthy, this is a WIN for us
Expected to be ready for season.

Scandella-xxx
McCabe-xxx
Beaulieu-xxx
You know what that means...
What does it mean?

This is definitely a trade. A great trade.

-
Make it happen!
McCabe - Ristolainen
Scandella - Antipin
Beaulieu - Bogosian

Something odd this way comes.
Why give Ullmark a 1 way and protect him if he's going to be in Rochester this year?
If Johnson is signed, Lehner or Johnson get hurt, call up Ullmark, then, when he gets sent down he'll have to go through waivers, no?
Somethings not adding up if my assessment is correct.
Extra money they'll pay Ullmark (which isn't a ton more) was a fair price to pay to disincentivise Vegas from taking him.
-
Marner and Nylander maybe.... but Matthews? He's in his prime right now, this is the best Matthews we'll ever see.
Matthews will likely never again score as many goals in a game as he did in his first. He peaked already :p
Imagine if we got Shattenkirk and, say, Scandella, while being able to dump Bogo?
McCabe-Risto
Scandella-Shattenkirk
Beaulieu-Antipin
Or some permutation thereof. It's not Nashville's top-4, but it'd be a quantum leap over what we iced last season.
*searches for new pants*
I need this to happen.
Interested to know what people in the re-sign Kane camp think about throwing a huge deal at Shattenkirk
I want to sign Kane. I'd rather sign Shatter.
-
He better be.
-
Speaking of cancer, have I mentioned that I really don't want Vanek back? Not a-tall.
Great segue or greatest segue?
-
If he scores 100 points and gets the Sabres to the 2nd round he can have $13.5 million. Also, Paul Hamilton can eat a bag of ######. He knows nothing about anything.
Yessir.
It was a tongue in cheek comment. It's funny that he couldn't do a pull up but it doesn't concern me nearly as much as it bothers Eleven. The name mispelling was just an honest mistake. I was so careful to make sure I did the el instead of le that I used d's instead of t's.
I hate when that happens.
-
I like that with tbe exception of Bailey. I don't see him as a viable NHLer in that role at least. But that is some very balanced firepower top to bottom.
Could substitute in Fasching, or Pu. Hopefully at least one of 'em pans out.
-
Even if we do, then what? He cannot play with RoR or Eichel. What're we gonna do, throw him on the 3rd? What happens when Mittlestadt and Nylander are ready?
Nylander - O'Reilly - Okposo
Mittelstadt - Eichel - Baptiste
Kane - Reinhart - Bailey
Could be a hell of a top 9 potentially, if we can pay them all (and assuming they deserve to be paid).
-
Nylanders contract slid from the way I understand the CBA.
Moulson and Ennis have 2 years left. Even if you signed Nylander next summer under the premise that you laid out, his deal would not impact the cap until after Moulson and Ennis are gone off the books.
If you sign a new contract it does not impact the cap until that contract starts. So if Jack signs for 8year 14million or whatever that does not impact our cap until July 1 2018.
Ya, as GA said, it slid. I think the way it works is, it slides if the player is under 20.
Edit - When they are in the AHL.
-
fixed
Yes to the first edit. No to the second - Canadian.

I'm beginning to believe the talk that GMJB is making about team leadership (upper management) being slow and deliberate in making moves on the big club and rebuilding Rochester. It wouldn't surprise me if all the young guys, Bailey, Fasching, Babtiste, Nylander, Guhle, Ullmark, Fedun, Falk etc.... all end up in Lake Ontario land for further seasoning unless someone just makes a drastic impression on HCPH or there's another rash of injuries to start the year. Let some of the crappy contracts play out another year, teach the young guys how to play Housley's style in Rochester and learn how to win up there. Then pull a Laffs and bring everyone up at the same time after the trade deadline rids you of some experienced but bad contract players.
I'm good with this, but the expectation for this season must remain playoffs or bust.
-
But no one available via FA is either including Shattenkirk. So absent a trade, adding more possibilities can't hurt right? I hope for this season lies in one or two prospects or new adds outperforming their projections not meeting them.
Shattenkirk would significantly help our d-corps. He'd instantly be our best Defenceman.
-
He. Can't.
FTFY

I'll take Vanek if Ennis or Moulson are dealt.
Yup. I'd rather have Vanek than those two bums.
Marco Scandella/Jason Pominville traded to Sabres for Ennis/Foligno

Who is the longest tenured Sabre now? Pominville doesn't count. Girgensons? Wow.
