shrader Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 3m Tim Thomas and FLA have contract terms in place, signing will occur once FLA ownership change is official, perhaps today or tomorrow. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 1m If it's done today, Thomas could be in lineup for pre-season game tonight. Deal, when signed, will be 1 year, AAV likely between $3M-$4M. Tim Thomas I guess will be the Panthers #1? Not really sure how goaltending will work in Sunrise now. Derek Stepan gets new 2yr bridge deal John Shannon @JSportsnet 2m Derek Stepan had a new 2 year deal with the NYR. Markstrom will head back to the minors for one last year the second Clemmensieve is healthy. I feel like it's just about the perfect way to handle most young goalies. Give them the full 4 years they're allowed at the AHL level. There's no sense in rushing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's just about the perfect way to handle most young goalies. Give them the full 4 years they're allowed at the AHL level. There's no sense in rushing them. That actually makes a lot of sense. Wonder if the Sabres will use a similar approach with Hackett. Also Derek Stepan reportedly getting 2yrs at just over 6mil.

LastPommerFan Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 so, just 30 months after the Sabres sell for $189M, the FLORIDA PANTHERS sell for a reported $250M. Pegula totally hosed OSP on that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegula totally hosed OSP on that deal. If its like real estate, Location, Location, LOCATION! I think the difference could be found in the value of the venue associated with the team. I have heard that the arena is a huge money maker on other events that it makes losing money on the Panthers worth the investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegula totally hosed OSP on that deal. Fine by me. ###### OSP. In other news, "location" for a hockey team, is better in Buffalo than in Sunrise, Fla. Did the deal include some crazy arena rights or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included the lease, but I don't know the Panthers' lease terms. Or if the team even owns the arena itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Broward County owns the arena, the Panthers have a lease through 2028. Let's not forget, Golisano said he offered a 'discounted' price for the Sabres under the condition the team stayed in BFLO. I don't remember all the details on that, but I remember it being talked about when the team was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the deal include some crazy arena rights or something? When it was first announced that the team was being sold to NY businessmen last week I remember reading about how it includes some deals with the arena and that is what makes it worth the money. They basically said that the arena deal is worth losing money over the hockey team. Broward County owns the arena, the Panthers have a lease through 2028. Let's not forget, Golisano said he offered a 'discounted' price for the Sabres under the condition the team stayed in BFLO. I don't remember all the details on that, but I remember it being talked about when the team was sold. I remember that too, he said that he made the deal because he had other offers, but he was only making a deal with someone who would keep the team in Buffalo. No one else making offers were willing to agree to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 He did do a lot to keep the team in Buffalo--especially when he bought it. I should keep that in mind. His real sin was letting LQ have a hand in hockey operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 @mirtle Lightning send Jonathan Drouin back to junior. Yzerman's quotes were interesting. Said he wants him playing top offensive minutes, but there's no room, so back to juniors. Go figure, if a prospect can't play where he belongs, send him to where he can. This ain't rocket surgery...or so you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) In an apparent cost-cutting move (they were already at 23 players), the Senators have assigned the 6th overall pick from 2011 to their AHL affiliate. http://www.cbssports...ibanejad-to-ahl We may debate the pros and cons of our owner's actions and motives, but at least we don't have to deal with this sort of sh!t.
