Thought this guy "always falls" and "only plays on the perimeter"???

How do you figure?

He signed his professional contract. He is playing in the American League.

What is an Entry Level Slide?
If a player who is signed to an entry-level contract and is 18 or 19 years of age (as of September 15 of the signing year), does not play in a minimum of 10 NHL games (including both regular season and playoffs; AHL games do not count), their contract is considered to ‘slide’, or extend, by one year. For example, if a player signed an ELC for three seasons from 2015-16 to 2017-2018, and their contract slides, their contract is now effective from 2016-17 to 2018-19. An exception to this rule is that if the player is 19 on September 15 of the first year of their contract, and turns 20 between September 16 and December 31, their contract does not slide.

Players who sign at 18 years old are eligible to have their contracted extended for 2 seasons. This extension does not apply if the player turns 20 between September 16 and December 31 in his signing year. Signing bonuses do not slide, and are paid to the player regardless of a slide, this causes the annual average of the players contract to change, and therefore the cap hit decreases for this player.

Oh.

It will be for next year's tourney when it's here. I believe the game will be on Dec 29th or something at Rich Stadium.

Stupid Isles fans.

No you're right because of his age the 9 game slide rule still applies. for the next 2 years in fact.
- Sabresfan-365

Pehaps I should, and therefore am asking the clarifying question...
9 game rule for what? Are you saying he has 9 games to play in the NHL and then the Sabres have to decide to keep him up? I.e. He can't be sent back to the AHL?
That is what Im interpreting you to mean.
If so, I never heard of that rule applying between the NHL and AHL..only Juniors and NHL?
Please clarify, you have me intrigued now.

Edit: L8

Wow. Okposo has really looked impressive. Had no idea he could be this dominant. Well...guess he ISN'T dependent on JT.
- RhinoFan

worth his contract.

1..............2..................3..............WE WANT FOURRRRRRRRRRRR....

Gilmore beat again today and a pass interference call on him as well, he stinks.
- SABRES 89

He sucks. Love how every time he gets burned, it's always someone else's fault. He's Brady's favorite target.

At least Sabres are fun to watch this weekend. How was Gionta's goal? Missed it. No assist, was it a breakaway?

I posted the official word on it but AHL games dont count to burn year 1 of an entry level deal hed have to play in a 10th game.

The reason Nylander is in the AHL is not related to that though, hes there because he wasnt a major junior player he was LOANED there by his SHL team.

So which of our prospects will play in the world Juniors this year? Guhle? Estephan? Pu? Asplund? Can Nylander play?

People can hate Bylsma all they want. We have played 2 sound defensive games all around

Yup, just backread to see your post. My bad, I thought it was regarding the return portion, not the contract aspect.
Thanks for clarifying.

3-0 lead, chased goaltender....

nail biting time

Nylander can and will definitely get the call. Asplund as well. Other than them I dont know who has a real shot

Casey Fitzgerald might if he keeps up his pace at BC.

worth his contract.

Every cent thus far, still worried about the term.

No problem, its actually very valuable to the sabres regarding the cap or in a scenario where they want to trade him.

It not the D side for me, yep his system works that way.
It's the O side ... stifling dump and chase BS. That said, they have found this net for 2nd game

Risto always creating

I'd be surprised if Pu and Guhle aren't on team Canada.

I want off Mr. Pegula's wild ride.

The Jets D is looser than creamed corn.

Uh Oh 3-0 lead going into the 3rd...

Nice of you too carry on the tradition

I would be, dont think either was invited to the camp in the summer. Canada is always loaded even in their weaker years.
