@SabresProspects Finland trails Sweden 5-3 at the end of the second. Armia with two of the three Finnish goals in the period.

@SabresProspects Jake McCabe picks up a power play assist as John Gaudreau gives the USA a 6-2 lead on Slovakia. McCabe's second point of the game (1+1).

Ja, sehr schlecht.

Mikhail Grigorenko had a strong game with two assists and six SOG as Russia dominates Germany 7-0.

Indeed, let's hope the NHL's latest offer today leads to much more of the same.

Yakapov tries to do too much as an individual. McCabe definitely blunted him on a few occasions. Very Steady, Smart D-Man.

Excellent and Highly Competitive Game. Makarov was excellent, Grigorenko was good, and McCabe was steady. Looks like we have three future Sabres.

@SabresProspects Mikhail Grigorenko scores his 25th goal of the year to give Quebec a 2-1 lead on Baie-Comeau late in the second period. @SabresProspects Grigorenko's rocket one-timer was his 25th goal through his first 27 games. Can't remember a Sabres prospect producing at this rate.

http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/48289-Doan-speculation-dies-down.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=thn_daily_20120824 Key exrcepts from the article: "Hanging over the Doan sweepstakes were rumors an Eastern Conference team (outside of New York, according to Bross) sent the winger a four-year, $30 million offer. On Tuesday, ESPN.com’s John Buccigross took to Twitter claiming the offer came from the Buffalo Sabres and was legitimate. He also reported the Coyotes were offering Doan a two-year contract. Doan has earned considerable respect around the league for his experience, leadership and all-round game, but he’s not worth that kind of money at this stage in his career. He turns 36 in October, meaning his contract would be governed by the over-35 rule. Should his performance decline over the four-year term of that contract, the Sabres would be stuck with the cap hit, even if he retired, was bought out or demoted. Doan is coming off a five-year contract during which he earned $4.6 million per season, the most he’s earned per season throughout his long career. A $7.5-million cap hit would put him among the top earners in the league. Despite the respect Doan enjoys around the league, he doesn’t belong in that company. That contract would also create potential salary cap headaches for Sabres management. While they have the cap space ($8.7 million) to pay Doan that hefty salary, it would leave a little more than $1 million to re-sign restricted free agent center Tyler Ennis (who’s coming off an entry level contract), which would put the Sabres over the cap ceiling. Assuming the salary cap remains at $70.2 million under a new collective bargaining agreement, Sabres management would have little choice but to free up cap space via trade, demoting a player to the minors or loaning one overseas. If the cap ceiling drops in the next CBA without a significant rollback in player salaries, the Sabres might be forced to shed considerably more salary, perhaps by moving a high-salaried player they might otherwise prefer to retain. Despite that significant offer, it doesn’t appear Doan is interested in Buffalo. Still, making such a big-money pitch to him only serves to stoke criticism of irresponsible spending in the midst of CBA negotiations."

Semin to the Canes as rumored. http://hurricanes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=638702 Damn!! 7 million for one year.
