He can't sign until July 1, I think.
Idk what he'll be at by then so unsure but 6mil range seems right
What term are you thinking would be acceptable?
Good call on July 1, I also agree that’s the timeframe.

I deleted my post because it didn’t honor the spirit of the question. To more appropriately answer your inquiry, I think you nailed it with the exception of JJ. Sabres fans have seen more from Quinn than Peterka. But I also think Tage tops them both. It is also pretty cool that fans identify with the coach and I agree with you on that.

This is probably an off-season type of thread, but, Tage is having another good night. It got me to thinking about what it would take to keep him here for the foreseeable future.
He was recently featured in this Sabres production and seemed genuine that he wants to be here and be a leader:Capfriendly states he is signed for one more year at 1.4m and then an RFA one more time.
https://www.capfriendly.com/players/tage-thompsonAt the time of this contract signing, it was widely considered a low risk, high upside signing for a guy who some wanted in the AHL. Fast forward to today, and he’s the Sabres first line center and leads the team in scoring.
He’s outplayed his current contract to the point that he cannot be asked to take a hometown discount. He’s age appropriate for the Sabres new core, and their top line would be lost without him. Just imagine if Casey or Krebs had to anchor the first line…yikes.
So what gets it done?
Would 6m X 5 years be enough? That would take him to age 30 and eligible for one more big contract. But is that enough to buy out his prime years? Would he rather sign shorter term and bet on himself? He’s in the same situation that Reinhart was in (one year from UFA at current contract conclusion). Would he prefer arbitration one time and UFA for max $$?
What is it going to take to buy out his prime years? Are you ready to make a long term commitment after 60 games at the center position?
I am. I’m asking him to take 6m X 5/6 years. Would you? Would he?

I think once you add the fees, it's about the same for the cheap seats. Not having to commit ahead of time when I already lost $ last time is my main goal.

Aside from secondary market fees, you also have far less season ticket holders selling than most previous years. So less plentiful options. I found that the box office was cheaper than secondary market for VGK game, and I hounded the market for 48 hours prior to puck drop.

I just bought a box office ticket for Vegas game.
There are no TicketMonster fees if you purchase at the box office.
There also aren’t any paper tickets. They text you a link to a QR code and you scan your phone for entry. -
Barring injuries, the Amerks are going to be loaded.

I’m very interested to see if the Sabres view both Krebs & Sam as exclusively NHL guys or not.
If they come back to Roch for the playoffs, that team can win the Calder Cup.
-
As an aside, I don’t believe any team was taking the night off against Buffalo in March 2022.
There’s no doubt that both Vegas & Toronto did NOT take the Sabres lightly (given the weight/circumstances surrounding those games). While the Wild started their backup, he’s 12-3 this year. And Calgary ran their starting goalie out there.-

Did y’all see this? After the trophy presentation and after the arena emptied out (over an hour after the GWG), the teams got called back!
Also, Geneseo is in the D3 Frozen Four (again).

I’m sure Zemgus would have a market, but they aren’t trading him right now.
Why not? The Sabres have managed without him the last 1.5 years.

If Johan has a market, could it mean Zemgus could have a market?
I know Zemgus is well thought of in the room, but they’ve each had about the same season in 2022. Z’s salary is higher, and comes with an extra year.

Star got released today.

That's the beauty of Harrington. The fans are lucky to have him and they are totally ungrateful.

Alternate is correct.
Yes it is. But American fans have somehow adopted assistant. And I hate it.
-
I like how the PA announcer referred to KO as “alternate captain.” I hear people say assistant captain and I shudder.

Buffalo waited and he picked LA when he become UFA so lets not do that again
Right, but what I was getting at was that I didn’t know the details. Thank you @kas23

There’s only 2 nets to develop 3 prospects.
Each of them and UPL needs to play.
This is the way to go, IMO, assuming there are no flight risks.
I don’t recall the Peterson details, but I’m still feeling that burn. I wouldn’t take any chances and would bring him in now.
The ECHL is an option too. Plus UPL gets an injury a year, so that opens a door. -

Again Jack reminds me of Stamkos who really didnt change til later in his career and a severe broken leg. Who knows if and when Jack will ever be able to get that perspective.
I’ve never heard of Stamkos having maturity issues.

I think so but idk what
He responded on Vogel’s thread, “Whoops I didn’t even notice. My wife put it together frantically in 30 minutes after I got out of work and had to drive an hour to the stadium.”
But in subsequent posts, he’s acting like he’s playing 4D chess.

Is Mark Stone on LTIR for a legitimate reason? That’s contract looks like it’s going to be an anchor around their neck for sometime. Looks like Reilly Smith will be gone. Likely a couple more, depending on their contracts.
It’ll suck in four years, but he’s still playing at a 1C level. Better than a point per game.

On the radio broadcast it was said that this might be the biggest crowd of the season. Any estimates from the watching crowd? Irritated that this is not on NHL Center Ice.
Actual cheeks in seats are probably like 12,500.
But they’ll announce something like 15k-

I understand that train of thought. However, Kevyn locked him up (at least) a year early last time around. I think he’s inclined to do it again.
