Might have to wait till next year to see Reinhart full time.

agreed. I really hope he takes a trip back to juniors for another year.

That's not correct.

"The $10,000,000 recapture amount comes from the first 2 years of the contract, where the total salary paid was $10 million more than the Total cap hit acrued. During the final 4 years of the contract, the salary paid will be less than the cap hit by $1, $3, $3, and $3 million respectively. By the end of the contract, the total salary paid and the total cap hit acrued will then be equal. The recapture amount is reduced by the $1, $3, $3, and $3 million each of the final 4 years of the contract so long as Ehrhoff remains a Sabre. If Ehrhoff is playing for another team when his salary is less than his cap hit and then retires before the end of his contract, the Sabres will not have earned any reduction off the $10 million recapture - they will be responsible for the full amount spread evenly among the remaining years of the contract. "

So if he reitires with 1 year left. The whole 10 mil we are responsible for

That's the 3rd different explanation I've read now. Where did you find that? If that's the case, of course it's a no brainer.

Money has to go somewhere, mine as well overpay for the right guys if your gunna overpay

That explanation was posted along with the NHL rule on a HF board.

The rule was tough to translate so I posted the explanation below it

You can't give a guy like Gionta 6 mill a yr. come on now. That makes no sense.

He made 5 mil for the passed five years, with the increase in sap since then and even with his decrease in output you still won't be over paying by much

No, you give a guy like Moulson 6 mill not a guy like Gionta

Let the Habs pay him 5 or 6mill

No, you give a guy like Moulson 6 mill not a guy like Gionta
- SABRES 89

Thats the great part, we can give em both six, if anything moulson is the more unlikely candidate because of the length of contract hes looking for

Let the Habs pay him 5 or 6mill
- SABRES 89

Is he really not worth it for a short term mentor roll ?

No, you give a guy like Moulson 6 mill not a guy like Gionta
- SABRES 89

Not to mention ya I would give moulson six, but thats if we could even get him

Going to have to go 4 years for Moulson IMO.

- SABRES 89

He is giving you and I 10% each . It is okay with me now

Going to have to go 4 years for Moulson IMO.
- SABRES 89

I still feel like someone with give him a longer contract at the same money, something tim wont be willing to do

Going to have to go 4 years for Moulson IMO.
- SABRES 89

Pass. I have no use for him on a 4 year deal.

Thanks for that. To confuse myself even more, I found another website that explained it the way I originally thought.
So I will happily admit I have no idea now.

@DarrenDreger: Robidas is looking for a 2-3 year term. Leg is fine. He's skating and is expecting to be ready to go for training camp. #TSN


I don't trust his leg at all.

I have heard it explained a few ways but the way Murray made it sound, the whole 10 could eventually be charged to our cap.
