Okposo needs to walk away, I doubt he does though. He is getting 6MM for nothing for the next 4 years.

This is why the NHL needs to get rid of 100% guaranteed contracts.

There is buyouts,
so they aren’t 100%

Maybe they can agree to a lesser Cap Hit on buyouts for the next CBA?

I just could not really blame him on 3-4 of the goals that were scored. the 5th one he should have gotten over to the post, the breakaway in OT, Meh... 50-50 shot of saving that one I guess.

If he is on, we win. It wasn't like they were "softies" or anything, but I'd hope he can save 1 or 2 of those on a regular basis.

I have a feeling that contract structure is going to be a huge topic next lockout, i mean CBA negotiation.

I think I would give up hockey for a year to get rid of the guaranteed contracts. I would love for it to be like football in a sense... your playing like poop... Cut...

Restructuring contracts should be a thing.

prob right.. I am just numb to the whole damn thing now....

I'll say it again, the Sabres need a head coach that will install discipline and a system.

This x10. Team has no structure/system in a league where all the good teams do. Simple as that. JB must see that, right?

Quenneville

Ruff

Dave Tippett

I don't know...who do people want to coach this team?

The “experts” seem to feel like there’s a good possibility there won’t be a lockout,
Bc there’s not any “major” issues

We’ll see though
I could make a fairly sizable list of changes that should be made

I’m against it
Especially in hockey
Gives a huge advantage to the richer teams in bigger markets

Without the threat of release/termination of contract, idk why a player would agree to the renegotiation though?

Random comment : Ya know what I hate ? When there's a blown no-call, and then a few dudes in the crowd do that whistle thing where it means the ref didn't call a penalty. I hate that...it's so annoying and stupid. I remember hearing that in the old Aud in the 70s and it's still happening here in 2019. If you're one of those guys, I hate you. Stop doing that. Eff you.

I actually really enjoy that.

Yep also contract extensions when on an old deal should be able to use the old deal and new deal to have a player come in at a lower cap hit.

Disagree. Teams and players should have to live with their mistakes.
