Peter Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Does that mean no playoffs this year? This may have something to do with it - may not want to play for Jordan Nolan's dad? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/jordan-nolan-not-suspended-putting-rusty-klesla-stretcher-000308834--nhl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Does anyone know if the Sabres have any recourse with Washington? This is the only thing I care about. The guy wasn't exactly part of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'd settle for a draft pick, 4th or 5th would be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanbe Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well I assume we drop his salary then. Watched him play games here in Phx and he was a 5 or 6. No great loss. We took on the salary IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 wonder if there's an NHL rule is when something like this happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 wonder if there's an NHL rule is when something like this happens? The guy's career is over if it even started.

pastajoe Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Shanahan will give Ted Nolan a 5 game suspension for Intimidation of a Player causing early retirement. The downside is he was expected to boost the Amerks D for their playoff run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't care about him although I think the Amerks were counting on him being a replacement for McNabb. What I mean is are the Sabres entitled to further compensation?

I am definitely not the board's biggest Amerks fan; I understand completely if those who are fans of Roch want compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 My impression on him has been that the Sabres had to take on him and his salary in order to get Neuvirth. So him bailing is actually a benefit for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play almost 700 NHL games. I'm not sure what you're driving at. Dooooon't caaaaaare I think you have to care when the franchise looks like such a tire fire that players don't want to play for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
