shrader Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 He could be just as set up financially as he is satisfied by those two Cups. I'd take the money too, but I also haven't made $10 mil+ in my career. Yeah, I realize that I made one hell of a blanket statement there. It's going to differ from person to person, but I do think that the typical response in his spot would be the money grab. It's basic human nature to want more, no matter how much you have already.

Huckleberry Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Still think Erhoff would be a better fit than Oduya. Won't happen though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I agree with that. I guess my point is that if you try to coerce (either with money or other promises) a player into a particular situation they honestly don't want to be in, it's not likely to work out for the best. I think it's clear GMTM has offered Odouya very good money and security. The Hawks don't want him back, yet he has still not signed with the Sabres. I think it's time to move on. Agree entirely with this post, especially the bold text. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 We're not moving on. there is nobody out there worth pursuing accept Oduya at this point. If it is not Oduya then we wait for training camp and see who becomes available at the last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Still think Erhoff would be a better fit than Oduya. Won't happen though :) Me too, although I do wonder exactly how damaged the Murray-Ehrhoff relationship truly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Cups aren't guaranteed at the time the contract is signed. The money is. True, should have said "more money or more legitimate shots at the cup". You see that all the time with old players taking short deals at reduced pay with teams like Pittsburgh recently and Detroit before that. If Oduyja signs with Arizona for top dollar, he's saying money is important. If he resigns with Chicago, NYR, Pittsburgh, etc. (examples, pick your favorite contender) for less than market value, Cups are important. Buffalo would be interesting, as by year three there's a chance the Sabres are contenders, but not this or probably next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Varone signs a one year 600k deal with Sabres. Avoids arbitration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Varone signs a one year 600k deal with Sabres. Avoids arbitration That's too bad. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during that arbitration hearing. Varone: I want a one way deal because I've played 34 games in the NHL and have put up 7 points Sabres: You've played 34 games in the NHL and put up 7 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
