One of Weber or Gorges can play on a pairing with Pysyk. I doubt you'd see the only 2 lefties we have on the team on the same pairing.

Weber needs to be nowhere near the top 4. Hopefully Murray can find a way to make it work

Meh. I'd take Oduya for 4.5. not for the 6+ he is going to get for 5 years.


Paying Oduya 6MM+ at age 35+ is a bad move, IMO.

- ImThatGuy

Yeah no way I pay him more than 5 mil. But the market doesn't seem to be as high as many thought it would be. I think 4.5 for 3/4 years is fair

Biggs was playing in the ECHL last year at one point, didn't produce there, or in the AHL.

Erixson has been traded or claimed off waivers 6 times since 2009. Another 1st rd bust.

Think 50 max contracts and thats why they were involved.

This deal was Kessel at 6.75 mil and a 2nd for Nick Spaling, Kasperi Kapanen, Scott Harrington, round 1 pick in the 2016 draft and round 3 pick in the 2016 draft

O'Reilly signs with BUF. Two year deal at $700K per. One way deal. That's CAL O'Reilly, Ryan's older brother. Guess we know who's next.

IMO you don't trade for ROR and Kane to ice that D
- homiedclown


This. Murray has got to be workin right now.

There wasnt much to the foligno/jack johnson deal we talked about earlier i guess.

If its short term for oduya why would anyone be worried about overpaying to get him here?

I feel as though TM is brewing a few moves... just a hunch. 2 Atlantic teams in on Green. Maybe one is the Sabres?

The picks and of course salary retention is what Id be most upset about. If it was just those two players and a little retention not so much.

Bogo/Risto
Pysyk/Trade
Gorges/Weber
McCabe

Not sure if serious

But if that's true....

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

McCabe is gonna be in Rochester. Weber will be in the top 6. He's only here 1 more year. It's not the end of the world.
