What would be better than announcing that the day of the draft? Plus we need to have him signed by the 1st or else he is a FA so I miss where you think that is stupid..

He is not a free agent until August 15th

Vesey? we have till august 15th to sign

Which is kind of my point. Considering picks outside the top 15 or 20 lottery tickets is fine. Thinking that it's impossible to ever hit on one of those tickets is nuts.

It's not impossible to hit.

But I don't get bent out of shape by the use of picks as currency for players who have shown what they can do in the NHL (even for short periods of time).

His same source that told him Ott isn't going to St. Louis must have informed him of the Vesey situation.

why would we not sign him till the first though.. is that because this season isnt over and you don't want to sign him till after the season is over?

Why is anyone even responding to this Rangers troll? We get it, your team will never win the cup and has given away your entire future for nothing. Move along kid.

like ville leino.. yes i know we didn't use picks

I reread after I wrote it. Good catch all

Not even kidding, I thought the exact same thing.

It wasn't meant for Stammer. They aren't moving Eichel or O'Reilly, and Girgensons and Stammer aren't in the same stratosphere

Of the names being tossed around there it makes the most sense to me (in terms of which position)

Hahaha. Probably should've just deleted everything after my first sentence.

why would we not sign him till the first though.. is that because this season isnt over and you don't want to sign him till after the season is over?

Correct. That way it wouldn't burn a year of his ELC

I love how when the Sabres try and get better everyone has to pile out of clown car to try and point out how it won't work. But 6 years ago when the Sabres did nothing to get better people did the same thing.

If he were to sign before July 1st in that case, wouldn't it be a 3-year contract then? Really doing nothing to burn any years

Remember what you guys thought you'd get for Tyler Myers? And then what you actually got?

Goooood times

Ah poop the po-po.

I'm out! *slithers away*

Anyone else find it interesting that GMTM said there were no talks with 82 yet.

Seemed a little off guard when asked

He was asked about Foligno, Girgensons, and Risto. He answered the question. He said they haven't had a chance to speak to Folignos yet. Not that it was intentional on either side to have done so already. Just haven't had the chance.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This is Buffalo. Nobody is ever happy with what's going on around here (in terms of the sports franchises especially).

It has to due with his bonuses as well. A 2 year ELC the bonus structure changes a bit.

Murray COULD sign him now if there is space (I think there is) but it would effect how much Vesey would actually get.

Truth is nobody wants the little guy to win. American culture suggests that bigger is always better. Big cities = better. They deserve the best players, beat coaches, best teams, etc. That's how others think anyway.

I wish someone would have asked something along the lines of "If training camp or the season started tomorrow, would Ennis be full contact and ready to go?"
