That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Was thinking 8 yrs $60+ million can't sign him for 8 because he is not re-signing with us. max deal's term is 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPommerFan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 can't sign him for 8 because he is not re-signing with us. max deal's term is 7 years. I thought we were re-signing him. he is under contract with us right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I thought we were re-signing him. he is under contract with us right now. Yeah, me too. We assumed his contract the minute the trade was consummated by the league. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah, me too. We assumed his contract the minute the trade was consummated by the league.

Taro T Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 can't sign him for 8 because he is not re-signing with us. max deal's term is 7 years. They can't go 8 years because he wasn't a Sabre at the last trade deadline. Now, if they wanted to wait until after the NEXT trade deadline, they could offer him 8 years. 7's good. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think they're waiting until tomorrow or after the Eichel newser to announce it. He's likely in town already since he lives about three hours north of here and said he would be coming to the city within a few days.

... Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Frankly, I won't be surprised at anything, unless it comes in way low. We knew all along this guy will cost a premium. No one seemed to care in the ROR thread, so, no one should be shocked at whatever the terms are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 rumors out of twitter world are 7yrs x7.5million per season and could be done as early as today. Discuss. Thats in line with what I thought it was going to be. 7-8 mil a year. Just depended on length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seemed to care in the ROR thread, so, no one should be shocked at whatever the terms are. Some of us cared and cared quite a bit. His upcoming contract is one of the reasons I didn't want him to begin with because he's going to get top line center money and within a year or two he won't be playing top line center. I just hope he signs for less than $8 million per year at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more and I'm livid, anything less and I'm a pretty happy camper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work's been nuts. I understand the CBA stuff only very dimly. So, the Sabres can go 8 because he's "their guy" right now? Or no? Also, fwiw, I thought I was copying and pasting part of a Tweet from some TSN guy who said Sabres can only sign O'Reilly for 7 years. I'll not soon venture out of the foxhole again on this technical sh!t. Edited July 1, 2015 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think someone may have already mentioned this, but if I were a betting man, this contract is already done. They just didn't want to step on Jack's presser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Still nothing? I hope it's just lawyers niggling each other. It's the debate over when he gets paid x. So which years he will actually make the most money and how much that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
