I don't think Foligno has played to a level that his RFA gets another raise above the 2.25M he makes now. He is already the 2nd highest paid RFA at LW this off-season.

I think he gets punted in a trade.


Trade #8, Foligno's rights, and a 3rd to ANA for Fowler, Pirri, and #24 (maybe)

Take DeBrincat at #24. Juniors 2-time 50 goal scorer.

Have a 3rd line scorer in Pirri now who is an RFA as well.

Depending on where your commute is to, absolutely. Don't forget, I grew up even further south of that in Angola. Even having to commute into Hamburg in the winter can be brutal. I loved growing up there, but at this point in my life, I'm all about convenience. If I ever did have kids though, I'd think about moving out further again though.

i grew up in a town named after a farm animal. i take that back i grew up outside of a hamlet named after a farm animal. Any job i had when living in WNY (other than the farming jobs) i had a minimum 30-45 min commute.. but those were never in the winter only summer college internships since i worked on the farm when i was in Highschool

If I were D-Lo, I would offer PK36 $22.00/hr, up to 25 hours a week, through August 15, 2016, to teach me how to kill the penalty. I think he would probably take the gig.

Then I would discard any of the information that had to do with torpedoing himself into the boards, but use the rest of it.

I could see D-Lo having a better chance to get reliable icetime this way, and it would be nice to keep Kaleta off the foodstamps.

i would prefer he hire legwand or undercover brother from back in the day.. PK wasn't bad but i think legwand and grier had better positioning

Murray said today that there was some arbitration window thing with Foligno as an option but they were not interested in that.

I'd love to see us bring back Legwand for a bit of a pay cut. I thought he was a pretty darn good 4C and PKer.

Lightning announce Ryan Callahan to miss World Cup of Hockey (Team USA) after having hip surgery. Out 5 months.

Is the glue starting to weaken?

He has to know where he wants to play, and I'm sure that the Sabres will offer him the "max" contract allowed. Is this the "Lebron Decision, Part 2"????

He then added this:

Vesey's agent says it would be "silly" for his client not to pursue free agency after what he went though in Nashville. ...


Which to me sounds like he just needs a little convincing

That said, Vesey's agent tells AP that he intends to meet with #Sabres at draft this weekend, and have talks leading up to Aug. 15.
