They want to dump Lupul, that's another 5.25, and I can't believe they have Laich at 4.5 as well

Bozak too. They will have enough room

Anyone hear the number on Deslauriers extension yet?
- chilliard77

Expiring contract was 637,500, can't imagine it'll be much if anything more than that - but no, nothing official

They still have to find places to unload them...but yeah, they have time. Still almost 11 days til FA opens officially.

For:
1 1/2 years of Yandle
1 1/2 years of MSL
1/2 year of Eric Staal



Ouch....

It's not the same. Savard and Pronger were both on front loaded contracts. A team trying to reach the floor could acquire them, have a huge hit, and not have to pay that much money. Moulson is owed a lot of real money on his contract.

8 mil over the next 3 season.

His contract was front loaded

Guhle not on Canada WJ development roster.....

I wonder if they think he will make the Sabres roster...

Great.....

Peter Donatelli, who represents Jimmy Vesey, had this to say about the Buffalo Sabres acquiring the rights of his client from the Nashville Predators: "In our opinion, the only thing that has happened is now the Sabres have stepped into the shoes of Nashville for exclusive rights
- bluengold12[to negotiate] until Aug. 15. However, at this time, it doesn't change Jimmy Vesey's intention to become a free agent on Aug. 15.

Not the best news, but it's a very good thing that the rights don't expire until 8/15. It gives the Sabres a month and a half post 7/1 to show him what we've got going in to next season.

A wrecking ball defender with a cannon of shot? Hopefully just 1 mill or less.

Pretty sure this past season's woes with Chicago were bad too - losing Saad, Sharp, Oduya and 1 or 2 young guys plus picks and they fizzled out and are losing most of the assets they got.

(may be wrong on Saad, don't remember if he was last offseason or not)

- Wetbandit1

Apparently we only have till July 1st to sign him then no one can until 8/15

I don't know why some of your making such a big deal about this .. Just sit down relax and wait to they officially announced the signing maybe in a month or two weeks who knows

That's incorrect.

The tweet was in reference to him not becoming a Free Agent until August 15th

Just spoke to my cousin who is close friends with Jimmy Vesey at Harvard, and he told me Vesey will not sign in Buffalo. He will be a Bruin


He's BAAAAAAAACK

I would all but guarantee that we know about Vesey before Friday. There is no way we would trade for him other than to know if he is on board before Friday - otherwise they would have just waited. I'm confident he is inked by the draft...

That guy's a joke, isn't he?

Any knowledge of him signing 2 hours after his rights are acquired would insinuate tampering. Sky isn't falling, kids.
- seedy

Andersen signed after only a couple hours. And that deal I guarantee you is way more complicated than any deal for Vesey would be.

A little different when you're trading for a player that refused to sign with one team.

T-H-I-S

Also, doesn't Vesey only have the option of an entry level deal? Or is that null and void if he becomes a free agent - if that's the case then I'd be concerned.

If it's not, then I'd say there is no reason we shouldn't know very soon whether or not he's signed, because he can't get more anywhere else...
