Brawndo Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 He's young enough this off-season to qualify for a 1/3 cost buyout. Been told (haven't confirmed but believe it to be true) that he moves into the standard 2/3 cost buyout next year. So he only counts 1/6th against the cap if he gets bought out this off-season. This is where I really miss Cap Geek. IIRC he would count a million per year towards the salary cap until 2022 or 23. I am not a 100% percent about that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) He looks like Villie Leino out on the ice, just less injury prone. That was one big positive to Lameo. At least when he was hurt, he didn't *hurt* the team, in fact, the team was better off without him on the roster. Hodgson however, is dependable and healthy dead weight, like a millstone hung reliably about the Sabres' collective neck.

That Aud Smell Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 My take on Hodson is he is un-coachable. Good stuff. I am firmly, irretrievably, possibly in some measure irrationally (but not unfairly) set against Hodgson (or, *for* him, for the purposes of this thread). He obviously has a decent skill set and could probably be a good player in the right situation. I just have no interest in seeing that happen here because I resent the sh!t out of him for being incapable of more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have no interest in seeing that happen here because I resent the sh!t out of him for being incapable of more. At least you know it's not entirely logical :p The way I try to look at it is comparing to Roy and Connolly. I think a large share of the fan base resented them because they weren't true #1s, or maybe simply because they weren't Briere/Drury. But the team unquestionably got worse without them. We were trapped in hating what they weren't, rather than appreciating what they were. Jettisoning otherwise useful players because they're not at the level we want them to be is almost always the wrong approach. Find the right missing pieces so those guys can thrive as what they are--that's what we should want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the right missing pieces so those guys can thrive as what they are--that's what we should want to do. Agreed. If we keep getting rid of players because they have flaws, then we won't have many players left on the roster. Eventually you have to start building with what you have and compensate for player weakness or the team will be rebuilding forever. It's impossible to have a team full of Crosby clones - and even then that team would be to soft for some of you. :nana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Taro. New format may have messed this up).That's what we have going into the home stretch. The Sabres control their own destiny.Fun fact: Every single Carrion team plays at least one other Carrion team in their first five games after break. We should have a lot of movement early.1/27's slate includes three potential one-pointers:Buffalo Daggers visit the Candles in CalgaryMini-soda visits the Saudi OilersSeattle Yotes head to the Philly GroundersAnd the rest:Carolina Light Drizzles head to Tampa to face the LightningColamebus Black&Blue Jackets host the CapitalsColorado Snowballs head to SmashvilleDallas Twinkles host the CanadiensHave a couple of ideas how to (pretty much) fix the formatting but won't be able to implement them until this weekend at the earliest or more likely middle of next week. So, the stats will be updated in the near term, but they'll be in large part unreadable. :oops: Darn that SDS and his fancy improvements. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good w/ 0 or 1 in Van-city, but they HAVE to create some space. The tank NEEDS to be strong in Edmonton; it was when the Eulers came to Buffalo; it HAS to stand up now. This and the 2 Yotes games ARE the #### ing tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think that this next round of cuts should begin the tighter league requirements. If you're not within striking distance (say, 15 points) then you should be disqualified until further notice from the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
