That all depends on how many rows you may be from the ice surface.

No room crossed my mind too , specially the years. 3 years from now we might be in Cap trouble after all these mini contracts are up. 4m sounds better for what he is.

In my mind he's basically Stafford 2.0 - which I'd rather stay clear of.

Kane - McEichel - ?
Moulson - Reinhart - Ennis
Foligno - Girg - Gionta
Desla - Larsson - Kaleta/?

Grigo/Ellis/Varone/Hodge/McCorm - Upstairs

I don't see him as a good fit at all really.

Good 2nd line winger.
- Pierceme69



I think he could play on 1st line with a mceichel. He's better than hornquist or Neal who played on the 1st line with Crosby and they did great. Take them away and they are ho hum. Ennis can pot 25 with mceichel

Kane , McEichel and Reinhart will need time to see them produce. Good chance we don't see anything crazy from them for the 1st half of the season.

Much rather have Stewart at 4.5 than Gionta at 5.5

Sure but we already have gionta. He's gone once his contracts up. We already have a lot of money tied up in hodgson and moulsons contracts long term too

No argument there, Gionta was really brought in for "leadership" (aka - they needed to get to the cap floor ha-ha).

Having both of them for 4.5+ = No way.

He can already pot 20, so maybe he can get closer to 30. He will be very good when he finally gets to play with elite talent.

He has been done for a while. He was just a veteran signing who wouldn't emdanger tank and eat salary cap money up. He actually is one guy who filled his role perfect this year. Sucky high priced and created an illusion for sheep fans that don't get the tank picture that we were trying to get better this year.

Ennis is the only reason the Sabres are in this game.
