For him, there really isn't a price that's too much, you're right. 4 1sts won't (most likely) ever reach his value. That's why I'd imagine if the Oilers offer him say 10M that his agent could say, well I can get 12 if we wait...that type of thing.

The picks would limit the number of teams who could actually give him an O/S, but I don't think anyone with the picks to use would shy away. That has to be understood by his agent and his agent will be looking to get him every dime he can. If the Oilers offer him the big bucks right out of the gate as they should, he's most likely signed before offer sheet time as HB says, but I wouldn't say it's fool proof just yet.

Are you guys talking McDavid or Draisatl or both?

Eh I'm spewing off about McDavid (paying back for the Vanek offersheet). Most of our sane posters were discussing Leon.

Just ignore my posts, it's for the best.

I was talking about Draisaitl. 4 1sts that are mid to mid-late at the best isn't worth what Draisaitl is worth. That said. I don't see him making $9.5M per. So realistically you're looking at 2 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd. I'd do that in an instant at $8M per.

It would be very interesting to see what would happen if someone gave him an offer sheet for say 7 yrs for 70 mill. What would Edmonton do? I think they would still match but with McDavid going to make that much already I think they would at least pause for a minute. And then they would match.

If McDavid isn't signed by the deadline I think some team would offer him the max.

preds might be toast

Oh, man ... Johansen led NSH forwards in controlled zone exits, puck possession / game (1:10) & points (13). Engine that drove the bus.

Pass the slide rule...

For sure have pause and think for a second. But yeah- they'd pretty much have to match. Just hope Connor understands what the deal is in that event.


Connors gonna get whatever the fuk he wants. You don't hardball a player like him.
Just gotta hope he realizes they're gonna need cash to surround him if he wants to be on a perennial contender. (Which I believe he does) and accept the same at 10

Lame . The preds are done pretty much

The ducks gonna win the cup. Ugh.
Such a hateable group.

I was thinking about maybe just buying some of the tick spray for yards and spraying the area myself

Has Antipin actually signed on, ot indicated he will sign with the Sabres?

It seems alot of you have tattooed him on the roster already.

the same Tkachuk that disappeared in the playoffs?
- Michael Pachla

I'd trade Kane for Tkachuk straight up
And I like Kane & don't think he should be traded

I think e-rod is at least a third-line player and he might be best served on the wing
- Michael Pachla

Ppl are acting like this kid is a sure thing bc of a handfilul of good games
I don't think he even makes the roster opening night unless things change

Kane-Eichel-Reinhart
Ennis-O'Reilly-Okposo
Foligno-Larsson- ?????
Moulson-Girgensons- ?????
Deslauriers

Right now, I'd say that's roughly how it stands
Maybe some of those line combos get switched up,
But all those guys are on the roster unless there's trades or Vegas takes one

So with 2 open slots...
I don't see Rodrigues getting either one over Bailey, Carrier or Baptiste
He's probably in the same grouping as Fasching & Nylander
They'll start in Rochester & be callups at some point

Not yet,
But it's been reported several times that the deal is still on
I'm guessing it happens a couple days after the tourney

Btw...
I replied to your query about punk bands the other day
Don't know if u saw it or not

Keep the receipt. But call them first and tell them about it, that you have ticks crawling up your walls.

Then buy the stuff. I'd imagine it's not super cheap. And if you raise a big enough stink they might reimburse you for it.

Happy Friday boys ....

Hot as eff

Sabres should offer sheet him $9M for 6 years. Just to (frank) the Oilers, you think they're going to give him up? Pay them back for Vanek.
- Wetbandit1

I would then Sam could get the D

Maybe new for some


Aivis Kalniņš @A_Kalnins

Antipin and Sabres talked recently and nothing has changed, expect him to sign with the Sabres.

At this point I think it would be pretty weird if he didn't sign. Right around the 3rd source that said he was still expected to sign...I "tattooed" him in the lineup. Thanks for this though, good to know it's still going the same direction.

WW reviews are getting me Giddy

Really sucks.

Almost feels like 05-06 Sabres. Thought this was the year for them

One guy they really can't lose

Yeah and bunch of goons are bashing NSH fans now. I don't care who you root for, if you applaud the injury of the other team's best player then you're not a fan, your a (frank)boy.
