Just a thought but 4 mill a year for McGinn and Hoffman each wouldn't be a bad idea IMO. 25 goals for Hoffman so far and what 17 for McGinn. 4 mill a year each is a good deal IMO.

Come on mogilny,if you want to become a stanley cup contender in 2 to 3 years,you can't have 3rd and 4 th liners making 4 mill a season. Alex go look at chicago a salaries.4 forwards,3 d men and a goalie make over that,please guys stop wanting to sign average players for 4 mill

not sure why we didn't' trade Johnson for something, anything to be exact. It would be nice to see him back next year and give Ullmark another in the AHL, but I doubt he will. Someone will pay him more than we will, even to be a backup again, so when its all said and done, even a 5th would have looked good at the end of the day

Larsson has been playing really well, lately.

Keep him and see if he continues to improve.

Really like How the line is playing . Those three are showing some serious chemistry as of late.

Lehner has to be PISSED!

Do you have to mock folks in here to make your opinions more valid?

I always thought that no one on the 3rd or 4th lines of a team should be making more than 3 mill and that's only if they are playing on the third b/c the guys ahead of them on the depth chart are the likes of superstars. 2-2.5mil is a solid price for third liners as the majortiy should be coming form your pipeline or great value pickups in FA

First off i'm not Alex second, Hoffman has 25 goals already and McGinn almost 20. The way the NHL is now a days that is 4 mill a year regardless what you think they are worth. Maybe you don't know as much about this team as you think you do.

89, you are going to win with mcginn in your top 6? No. You can't afford 4 mill a season for a 3 rd or 4 th line player,it is a salary cap. Jamie mcginn has had one season over 17 goals,he is a guy who plays on a bad team that will pay him the money

Can we get a f-in call tonight or what?

Well Murray disagree's because they offered him 4 yrs 16 mill and he turned it down, for some reason he thinks he's worth 5 mill a year, that's why he's gone.

89, want to make a bet,the sabres DID NOT OFFER HIM 4 yrs 16 mill.they never even offered him a dollar. His agent said 4.5 mill a year, the sabres wouldn't even offer him 3.5. They thought his value is 2.5 to 3 THATS THE TRUTH

But you're wrong so why are you thanking me? McGinn makes 2.95 a year right now. I know what the offer was.

Impossible to confirm ........so why bother ?

Jackets up on Detroit ......... Habs up on Dallas. Jet's down by one. Oil later vs. the Sharks.

Looking good with a period to go .............
