I've been on record that if you make me laugh, you probably won't get banned.

Post deleted, certainly. An explanatory PM most likely.

But I can't ban people who make me laugh.

Pretty sure that's why IggysBFF lasted as long on this site as he did.

I think that Iggy has gone the way of the permaban now though... CaptEO cleared house this past weekend...


And thank you for applying common sense to modding. I got a week once for saying that Emery was garbage for his assault on Holtby...

I don't think it could be argued. They are closer.

They have 2 of the NHL's leading scorers and a few other high priced players

You can't pay him 5.5 per. If Risto has a fantastic year he'll ask for more.

I'd say I agree with that but the West is a lot more difficult to win in.

Well they do have two of the best players in the league and a decent goalie tandem. But they play in the west so...

#BREAKING Stars have a 2 year and 3 year offer on the table worth $4.5M per. Sabres have a 3 year worth $5M per for Oduya.

Oduya has told Meehan he wants to have the night to think things over

I hesitated to post the Grosso bit because I don't know how credible he is.. As for the night to think of it. Where did you see that?

3/5 mill is a perfectly justified overpayment for him. It would also allow us to keep all of our prospects.

in 2 years when the cap has gone up a couple times and we are hurting in the contract departments (all the prospects and youngins wantin to get paid)...we ship him at the deadline...for whatever we need

That would be a good signing, all considered.

Stealing it from the CHI thread - they seem to be more in the know than us.

I don't see that happening. We are a contender in that year - either we need him because he is good or we can't get anything for him because he stinks.

Wiki has Oduya signing with Sabres on July 14th, not that that means anything lol.
- buffalokb

And they just took it down.

Isn't $5 mill x 3 the original offer? I thought we were upping it.

3 is more important than 5, IMO.

And we have a proven defense?

I dont think TMGM banks on Odie as a cornerstone of our defense....so if push comes to shove he becomes expendable...whether it be for a pick (2nd-7th)...or as a throw in

iiiidk...mayb Murry is banking on McCabe to fill his spot at that point...either way its just speculation at this point

3 is more important than 5, IMO.
- nfph

Yup even $6 million per isn't bad as long as its just a 3 year deal

The 3 is key

And we have a proven defense?
- sbroads24

We kept teams to low scoring considering . We lost many 1-0 and 2-1 games last season. We just couldn't score.

And we have a proven defense?
- sbroads24

they have no defense though I'm not saying we're some powerhouse I'm just explaining to him that they're not even close to a cup

That would be a good signing, all considered.

I just don't see it. He will be 35 years old in October. He was a 4th D-man rotating with Rosizival for bottom pairing for most of the season and playoffs. He had the worst rating and numbers of the Chicago D-men in the playoffs.
