Could we afford to sign everyone if web aid ROR $5 M a year? Not sure how one million bucks is a huge deal.

I think he could cost more than 6mil
And yes, even 1mil can make a difference when you're up against the cap
Idk if I'd actually want ROR at all?
I bet the Sabres have guys projecting out future salary structure of the team. Sticking to that will be key going forward. Just look at Chicago

At the moment, they are both in the Jets trade, we wont be able to move the other one until the playoffs are over, or until both the islanders and blues are eliminated from the playoffs.

Who says? Link?

If they want to move the other first, it just has to be understood and worded that the Lanche get the better of the two lowest picks. It's not rocket science.

The question is can he be athletic enough to be in the NHL. No doubt he can read a play and make cute passes but his skating ,even though it got better, is still not good enough.

I guess we'll see next year
One way or another, he'll be in the nhl

I agree i go to about 90% of the amerk home games and when he was with Armia the two showed something buffalo hasnt had in a long time..Patience. IMO the most important trait.. our possession numbers are awful. I love schaller but he's another north south guy. With armia gone for kane (honestly a great hockey trade for both sides) Grigo is our only pure offensive talent down there. Kids been all over the place, let him settle in and if he improves as much a last summer we may be impressed. Also the competition for those top 9 spots will be intense next year.

I see McCabe as a poor mans ryan mcdonagh, Great in both zones but keeps it simple and isn't flashy. Pysyk is another patience player that can control the temp and has an impressive transition game. 3-4 guy.

Conclusion: ROR is a great player but honestly with Zads and Risto up already our D depth isn't outstanding Pysyk and McCabe will be solid NHL guys and with the competition it's grigo spot to lose he got the talent .

Just on par with the rest of this season...#Cuse spells Roosevelt Bouie's name wrong on his jersey retirement...

if you get him extended, its another case of shipping out 2 maybes for a known top 6

I have no problem with it
