nobody Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Pardon my ignorance, but can somebody explain the $10 mil cap hit at the end? According to Capgeek if Ebrboff retires early the hit would only be $3 mil a year at the end. It's only if he retires in 2020 and if he was traded prior to then. Or something like that.

WildCard Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ristolenin is a better version of the Hoff Eventually he should be but, if ehroff is trying, there is no way he is there yet. I didn't really watch him enough in the AHL to know of he's ready enough to put up a full season with the big club yet, do you think he is? Even if he's not, barring some crappy ufa dman Murray picks up I'm not sure we have a choice but to bring him up. With Ehroff gone that maes1\3 of our starting defense is gone right?

nobody Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I guess Murray has bought into the Sabres can only have bad luck belief so he had to believe Ehrhoff would retire that one specific year that would hurt the Sabres the most if he traded him.

PASabreFan Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 So we all love Tim Murray. Great talent evaluator. Does his comment about Ehrhoff not improving teams move the needle for anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Murray must be pretty darn confident that the Sabres will be able to attract players in the coming UFA period. July 1st just got more interesting for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Risto is ready. He was the best player on the ice for either team most nights in the A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe someone can help me with this.. Erhoff is getting bought out, but the Sabres are not waiving him. How does that work? Isn't part of buying out someone that you have to waive them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Somewhere Chad Ruhwedal is smiling right now. Wasn't it announced yesterday that Murray most likely wasn't going to offer contracts to his RFA's including Ruhwedel, McBain and Conacher?

PASabreFan Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I don't necessarily think that's fair to Regier. He had operated one way for his whole career here and then was given the green light to do whatever he wanted, having no prior experience doing something like that. It would be like being given a ford focus and told to drive the speed limit for 12 years and follow all the rules, then being given a Ferrari and told ignore all the rules and go as fast as you want. Is it at all surprising that he ended up crashing the car? It's not fair to Regier — someone else was holding the brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I do not like this move. That being said this is the last time to use a CBO, combined with the recapture penalty risk associated with a trade, this might be the best option.

Isn't part of buying out someone that you have to waive them? He has NMC in his contract which allows him to avoid waivers. If he doesn't agree to use NMC, Sabres have told him no buyout. Aside - yea! THREE Ehrhoff threads! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Anyone else think Brooks Orpik is about to get a two year hometown payday? He's the only non former Sabre UFA that I've heard us being interested in. Bet he get something ridiculous like 2/3 years at $4 mill.

nobody Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just pay the penalty for not hitting the lower cap limit? That should be a separate topic :) What is the penalty by the way? Knowing the league they would change the rules and make the Sabres forfeit their first round draft pick in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
