I'm also aboard the Markov train. I know he's a LHD but did he play the right side at all in Montreal ? Thats the only way I can see that signing making any sense from our perspective as well as moving bogo
Scandella- Risto
McCabe- Markov
Beaulieu-Antipin - Pegullaville
Like it - is the lw vs rw for each guy correct? Thinking this wouldn't make Beaulieu very happy, though McCabe might be pushed down to the 3rd pair

The thing is though with RFA's the organizations have leverage. With his play this year Kane will dictate what he'll earn in the open market in which Buffalo will have much less leverage then say Nashville did when negotiating with Arvidsson - Pegullaville
In Arvidsson and Tatar, sure. Not in Oshie's and he's coming off two better years, and signed for less than 6 per.

He was paired with Jeff Petry this year, who's a righty, so I'm not sure he plays the right side (Markov)

I think the additional ice time would come out of risto's. Seeing as no high end guy was available they've opted for adding as many puck movers with upside as they can.
Kinda like having 3 competent 2nd pairings instead of a first second and third.
I guess we'll have an expensive press box. I think they would be useful down there but I don't know enough about 2 way contracts or the waiving process to know if it would work.
I don't know anything about Comic books or the movies that follow them, haven't been to the movies since nam' so half the time I'm confused on this thread. Maybe it's all the smoke in this room.
I want speed and would want to try to get Nylander on the roster opening night and sheltered with those vets while getting top 6 minutes. If it doesn't work out send him down and shift the wingers up a line and fill the 4th line with Moulson or Fasching.
