Kristian Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 No thanks, Goose is a player from an era that this team needs to put behind them, and I don't care if he wants to play for free. There should be no room for a player of Gaustad's skill level on a team that's spending close to the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulFuture Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Pretend it's 11:59 am on July 1, and Goose hasn't yet signed with Nashville. Do you try to bring him back to Buffalo? Is there room on the roster for him/his play? If so, what are his services worth? Salary, stats, etc: http://capgeek.com/p...play.php?id=382 As many have already stated, Goose is the past, it's time to move beyond him and toward a new future.

deluca67 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Glad to see so many agree with what has been my opinion of Gaustad for some time. I'll disagree with Ink's comparison of Gaustad and Kassian. Kassian's script has yet to be written. I have been extremely disappointed in how Gaustad has developed as a player. If Gaustad is going to return to being the player he showed he could be when he first came up, there is only one team he should be looking to sign with, that team is the New York Rangers with John Tortorella. Tortorella is the right coach to light that fire under Gaustad and bring out that high level of physicality we all know Gaustad has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one bolt you can't unscrew. Seriously though, there are other's in Goose's classification that don't come with the negatives associated with Gaustad. I wish him the best, elsewhere.

Very true. I was less then impressed by Kassian's overall performance in both the AHL and the NHL. Streaky, and we have enough streaky in the lineup already imho.

Gaustad's book was a "better read" in the beginning, look at how the story ended. I'm like everyone else in regards to Foligno, I love what I have seen so far. It is still left to be seen if can develop within the confines of the Sabres organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Dance Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The Goose may be close to falling into that gray area of the current NHL player market; not old enough or washed up enough to retire and been in the league long enough to require a minimum salary more than his current talent level is worth. It is not outside the realm of possibility that he just may not be picked up by anyone for next season (or it may take until the beginning of training camp). Unfortunately, in today's NHL, you have to be young and talented (i.e., cheap) or experienced and very talented (worth the cap hit). Maybe this is something that needs to be addressed in the next CBA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 This is an even thinner market for UFA's at center than last year, which benefits Gaustad. I don't think there is any chance of Goose coming back at a discount. He'll do fine with term and money elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm thinking he may get close to $4 mil per... As unconscionable as that seems. If I'm an owner and my GM gave Gaustad $3 million I'd probably fire him on the spot. If he gave him $4 million I'd file a criminal complaint with the FBI alleging embezzlement.

IKnowPhysics Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 maybe these same Doctor's can sew a sack on some of the Sabres? The procedure is known as a Gerbeotomy, due to his enormous, hulking cahones (stature relative). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is something that needs to be addressed in the next CBA.... Nashville just gave up a first round pick to get him. Do you seriously think that this translates to there not being any market for him this offseason? Hell, Manny Malhotra got $2.5 million on the open market last year and Gaustad is a comparable player who is better and younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
