Eleven Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 But also naturalised American and played for the US internationally not too long ago I think. I think Pommer either resigns with Minny or takes the fattest deal he can get in UFA. And likely in a warm weather, tax-favourable state. EDIT: my British nephew's ipad autocorrected my American spelling. I think that under the new guidelines, we're supposed to report this or something.

Doohickie Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 What was he supposed to do, deny the captaincy? This place would've been all over him. I know, damned if he did, damned if he didn't. It's not his fault Ruff was out of options yet again. And THIS is the root cause of that unfortunate situation.

nfreeman Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'd be interested to know whether posters here would have wanted the Sabres to keep him at that number. I would not have wanted them to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I absolutely would. He's only making $800k more than Ryane Clowe's corpse. To be clear -- if you could wave a magic wand, would you un-do the Pommer trade and sign him to that contract? So he'd still be the captain and the Sabres wouldn't have Zadorov, Larsson, Hackett and a #2 next year? Or are you just saying that you would give him that contract as a UFA? He'll be 31 next month, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be 31 next month, BTW. Yea, I think I misread the intent of your original question (I was looking at it in general contract value terms, rather than particularly to the Sabres). If I was a team that planned on contending in the short term, the latter for sure. While I don't like long-term contracts for forwards in their 30s, if your window of contention is open, you do it (even in decline, a $5.6MM hit should be manageable with cap increases). But as far as the Sabres go, no, I would not want to undo the trade and give him this deal. IMO the team simply isn't close enough to being good enough to sign 31 year olds to long term deals. I'd make an exception to this general rule for Vanek for a variety of reasons, but that's for another thread (and even then, I'm not overly enthusiastic about paying 35+ year old Vanek in the neighborhood of $8MM).

TrueBlueGED Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Looks like Regier got fleeced in the trade. The market rate for a first line forward has been a couple picks and decent prospects for awhile now. Explain the fleecing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotentPowerPlay22 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Jason Pominville named the NHL's first star for the week. He has 10 goals already for Minn. this year. Would you still have traded him if you were GM? When does Stafford get his ticket out of town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, though. Koivu? Maybe. Suter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
