spndnchz Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Cool. Do you know what the limits are and where the Sabres are w/ regards to them? TIA. Like nobody said, Flynn's contract does not go into affect until next season. So at play here is that they are able to have up to 50 contracts signed for NEXT season. With 18 contracts ending this year there's plenty of room. As far as roster limits, this is what I know: The Sabres, as well as other team, have 4 roster limits to meet. There needs to be 20 players dressed for each game There needs to be a 23 player active roster A limit of 50 contracts for any given season. These are the one's you'll generally see on capgeek A maximum reserve list of 90 players. These can be either signed or unsigned (Flynn would go towards this list this year). This would include draft picks not signed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the CBA. Section 16.4(b) Yes, the Devils did dress less than the 20 even as low as 15 at one point. The NHL gave them the stink eye but no ramifications. The clause allows for "except in case of emergency" The NHLPA was more pissed about it than the NHL was. The circumstances being a few guys were hurt and one was suspended I believe.

shrader Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I just talked to someone who spoke very highly of Flynn. Granted, it was someone from the junior league he played in, but it has to count for something. The quote was "the most underrated player in Hockey East".

And I kinda like the idea of getting guys with some college seasoning. I wonder whether he's a good skater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcsaberks Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hruh? :beer: :thumbsup: That's the standard Amerks Friday Happy Hour! Double fistin'! On the Flynn signing - so, he's undrafted. Does this mean Buffalo was the highest bidder? Assuming more than one team showed interest. Curious how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean Buffalo was the highest bidder? Assuming more than one team showed interest. Curious how that works. He was a free agent. It's not necessarily the highest bidder, but it was the offer/situation he liked the best. He still falls under the entry level restrictions, so it's not like any team can absolutely floor him with a huge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read he got a $92k signing bonus. http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayman/cayman-s/ And some change leftover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelo Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 geez, looking at the Amerks stats and Luke Adam has a grand total of 2 goals - 8 assists. Why has Luke fallen off the face of the earth, anyone? Is it just confidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has Luke fallen off the face of the earth, anyone? Is it just confidence? From what I've seen over the past month, it seems like he hit a wall. I think the demotion after the all-star appearance had to hurt the pride and that his body is just gassed. He does not look good out there. Hopefully he turns it around soon and contribute to a post-season. If not, I think he'll be fine, just needs the off season to reset himself.

Maybe Hodgson can take him to Scary Gary's camp for uber serious hockey dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Here's a bit more about the FNG: Brian Flynn^ — Maine — The Sabres get a nice pickup by signing the Maine senior. Flynn posted 156 points over his four-year career and was particularly good as a senior, playing a major role in Maine making it to the Hockey East championship game. He has decent size and strength and posted 30 assists this year. He consistently produced throughout his four-year career. http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2012/03/29/who-did-my-team-just-sign-a-running-commentary-on-college-signees/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catenacci is the fastest guy in the organization and Connor Knapp is a HUGE goalie who dominated college this year. It'd be cool to check these guys out.
