It is a 1-way deal according to reports

Yeah but that doesn’t mean he can’t play for Rochester. Some of his and Gilbert’s salary might count against cap but they can be waived and put on Rochester. The one way may dissuade others from claiming them.

Gilbert's won't.  He's getting $850k.  Well below the full burial threshold.

You kidding?  You MISSED one!!!

Sheesh.

(Though in fairness, it's generic and was pre-emptive.  😉 )

That roster battle for the 13th/14th forward slots between Kozak, Danforth and Sheary should be riveting.  

Not even a little.

I’m pretty sure Sherry is getting the same, so neither of them would count? You know more about this stuff then I do.

Sheary's deal is finally on Puckpedia.  Yeah, $850k 1 way deal.  His $'s will only count against the cap if he were for some reason recalled to the parent club.  Can't legitimately see THAT happening.

Great Courses should offer a 12-part course on NHL player rules and contracts.

Well I would have rather had Dunne than Sheary as an extra man but I'm not losing sleep over it. 

Just after we started to look tough enough last year I'm back to thinking this team won't be tough enough for next year. Zac Benson can't take on all of Florida. Half of them maybe, but not all of them.

It does leave the designated face puncher role vacant. Carrick & Malestyn in a pinch but Crevier seems willing and able. Maybe that’s enough in today’s NHL.

Crevier has fought and might be a guy who does that but it's not so much about "face punching" as standing up to them. Just because they stood up to Boston don't think they can stand up to this Florida squad too. There is a lot of them and they are all rats. I suppose we shall see how the league polices it, but so far from recent history Florida pretty much gets to be as dirty as they want.

Connor Sheary is one of my least favourite Sabres players, ever. He made Olofsson look tough. I know he is tiny but he played tinier.

Hopefully he is a good mentor for the Amerks. I guess if the injuries pile up he does have tons of experience but watching him avoid physical contact like the plague will drive me nuts.

I'll echo the Sabrespace chorus.

Why?

The youth is still ahead of him.

I like having a guy who has 131 career goals in the NHL is there... just in case injuries hit.
