Michael Grabner is intriguing as a fourth line option.
- chilliard77

Why?

He's awful in so many ways. He brings down his teammates and has terrible shot suppression. Which means, he's poop for a defensive forward.

True but if we could find someone to take on Moulsons contract that might help... Hopefully with McCormick retiring his 1.5 million comes off of our cap this year

Unless there's an injury settlement, he's on the books for day 1 of the season then goes on LTIR.

How long does McCormick's contract go for?? Hasn't he been on the shelf for years now??

Ok, cool. Thanks!
I'm glad the guy gets paid. Definitely a scary medical condition.

My guess is they just end up paying him rather than an injury settlement.

Speaking of, I saw someone post (not in Buffalo threads) that Stamkos's new contract can't be insured. I know you've brought up insured contracts before - know anything about this situation?

He's officially retired isn't he? Why should he remain on the Sabres cap?

He's said he's not playing but I don't think he's officially retired. I doubt he just walks away from his $1 mil salary.

The way Pegula seems to do things, he's going to make sure Spice gets his pay.

I like Yandle, what will he be looking for as a UFA ?
6 - 7 million/3 yr deal ?

Top 10 dmen in the league
PK - $9,000,000
Shea Weber - 7.8
Ryan Suter - 7.5
Letang - 7.2
Soupy - 7.1
Doughty - 7
Chara - 7
Pietrangelo - 6.5
Karlsson - 6.5
Mike Green - 6

Trade for him

Right but I'm not sure he officially filed his papers. Saying you're retired and filing the papers are two different things.

He has another year paying him $1 mil on his deal and he gets to have the season count towards his pension as an accrued season.

Now the Sabres organization can offer him a back door deal to officially retire and we'll pay your salary plus give you a position in the organization in some capacity.

More guys go unsigned.

Rangers let their 2014 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks walk.

A. NMC (Dont forget that's his hometown)
B. 7.5 cap hit (not awful for a top 5 D imo)
C. for another 9 years (Not Lidstrom but closest style currently in the league to his)
D. 31 yrs old(will play at a high level until 40)
E. He isn't going to agree to waive(IK )
F. Minny IMO has Zero interest in moving him.

Iverson has digressed had 42 points draft yr. Then 39 and 29
Mantha has 50 points in 117 games since being drafted.
Nejezchleb played for the Wolfpack and ECHL last year? Is already 22 which means he was an overage player his final WHL season.

Stash, I read somewhere that Stamko's bloodclot condition type doesn't fall under the uninsured contract situation.

Figured it was some sort of pre-existing condition type thing. Thanks

So much for how much all those later round picks could be worth.
