Why all the Okposo talk? He's a RW, and we need LW don't we???
- bobmack13

He's the big name winger on the market.

Detroit will be desperate to sign him
- Punch70

I could only hope

We already know.
- mhp

So you don't know if we can offer sheet Hedman? Cuz I really don't know but it would be awesome if we could.

And I believe you are also incorrect as the players pay a state tax for each individual game they play in another state, so while yes 42 home games in Tampa is better tax wise than 42 home games in Buffalo, the difference is not nearly as large as you are indicating.

Definitely not 3 1/2 million!

He was, just heard the audio of Chiarelli defending the trade.
- Wetbandit1

Did you hear chiarelli,he sounds like he has a 50 iq. We got younger,um um um,he ia one year younger

Wonder how McGinns UFA negotiations are going?

….may be that $4M offer doesnt sound so bad any more.
- seedy

Yes it does. Save the money and load up in a different year. There's no point in loading up this year. It isn't worth it.

That's a lot to read...if Weber retires at 37 like the article says would there cap recapture hit be any different if he retired as a Pred than as a Hab?
- Homer

A tad less but it's still 6.14 a year till 2026.

It does say if they waited 2 more years it gets worse.

IMO with all the money they already paid Weber added to they're on the hook for the bulk of Subban's salary and the cap recapture stuff. It could be a team killer for Nashville.

im sick of waiting.

I agree, but I will melt down if Vesey doesn't sign.

That will suck

I heard a 45 mill deal for Lucic, I just read that on TSN

Offer sheet Kucherov there is your top line RWer...

Sign Vesey.

Nobody plays a different position...


Lightning have 6 RFA's to sign with $9.3 million in cap space.

NOBODY take on Bishop's contract and they are screwed

So youre saying good deal for the Habs?

$6.4 million cap hit if its 7 years.

It's a slight raise for him

Get ready for the Buffalo/Toronto arms race on July 1, 2017. Target Tavares acquired.

- Stripes77

Racing stripes,i agree. Offer kucherov 6 mill a year for 7 years

I go to the doctors and everything goes nuts!

I'm bittersweet about Stamkos... The fact that he signed for 8.5 is a joke! I get it but I don't know why he magically decided to take the deal now... I'm thrilled he's not in Toronto but definitely bummed it's not us

Murray better go into insane mode these next few days. I don't care what any of you Girgensons shippers say the team currently constructed is a bottom 10 team and will always be a bottom ten team. Murray better trade or sign any top six winger he can get. As long as it's not over 6.5 a year for the player we sign I don't care what it takes get it done.

I think Vesey walks now. I think he tests market and signs elsewhere if we end up with no Vesey and no Stamkos and (frank)ing Girgensons on the LW with Eichel Murray should be fired

No, we can not. He still has a year left on his deal. And even then he's a UFA.

I agree. He should of brought in hall,sign vesey. What a great young top 6. Murray is a mess

Forgot about him
- Buffalo--Sabres

Okposso keeps coming up for way more money. I'd rather forget about him.

Racing stripes,i agree. Offer kucherov 6 mill a year for 7 years
- Buffalo39

I would go $7 million a year for 7 years...

It's still and awful deal if true.
