Don't sign anyone because most here think we don't need to overpay or rush anything meanwhile let's just keep letting Eichel waste away like we have for 4 years now.
- SABRES 89

This reads like Botts' inner thoughts.

He's played a token amount of RW in his career, and none here when we were in desperate need for someone to play RW. He's not a viable option to switch full time.

Start with the first line, Ehlers for a Trouba-like return.....no chance.
- Lunaion

Well you wouldn’t have thought Trouba would get that return... would u have???

But fine, add whatever negative Nancy

Jesus Christ and you wonder why this team never succeeds. you don't want to pay anyone but you want Sheary on the 1st line and Ehlers on the 3rd making 6 mill a year. for get Wild Bill, that's a pipe dream.
- SABRES 89

Pittsburgh won 2 Cups with Sheary in the top6 and Kessel on Line3

Your move sir

Easy deal for me he be a fan favorite here
- gerbe75pts

Please please please please please let Ehlers become a Sabre. Please.

I’d do 31 OA and a mid prospect. I’d do 2nd rounder and a better prospect. I’d do a conditional based on his production. Any of it.

I really don’t think it would take Risto either.

I like Ehlers too
Kid can skate & score
We need a lot more of that

Who said Boeser is available I don’t believe that at all he’s a franchise winger

- gerbe75pts

Supposedly he has no interest in a bridge deal and wants 8+M. And someone changed his wiki page to say Sabre’s...... soooo pretty long legs?

Why does he miss so many games? Not crazy about that. His numbers are similar to Samson in less games. Samson with similar size has missed 6 career games and not a single one in 2 years. Kind of impressive.

Escrow and what is considered shared revenue.

Hayes is a 4 million dollar player.

He’s now paid to be elite.
- dadeadhead

I don't think $7M is elite money anymore. I'd point to the Stone and Skinner contracts as evidence.

Players always b¡tch about escrow, and I was reading it's going to be their "issue" during negotiations, but at the end of the day it can't be a hill they're willing to die on. There has to be escrow unless they want to potentially cut checks at the end of the year to the owners if the HRR split comes out with them being short.

It would’ve been a mistake for us to sign either at that price

Now do u see why i objected so much to your idea that we “saved Cap Space” in the ROR deal?

Sure,
maybe a little if we signed one of these guys
(or someone similar)

But u get a lesser player
- jdfitz77

What about kyle okposo

These GMs of hockey smoking crack with these contracts

What about kyle okposo
- Slapjackzack

What do u mean?

I think we are probably stuck with him for this year
I never wanted him
But he played almost exclusively in the bottom6 last year & still scored 14goals
He’s at least semi-useful, just way overpaid

Stamkos only makes 8.5 lol

They have Crosby and malkin

- JVince11

I would easily pay him 8m he’s PPG player when healthy Couver cant Be that Idiotic

They have Crosby and malkin
- Mentalorgasm5

Eichel, W.Karlsson & Mittelstadt would be a very formidable center group

And i set up the lines so that we’d have 3 that could score instead of just putting the 6 best players on the top2 lines

Depth wins in today’s NHL

And I see the Wikipedia page God people better not play with my emotions

Brock Boeser Would outscore skinner but that top line would be money

Stamkos only makes 8.5 lol
- Slapjackzack

Yeah, and it was signed 3 years ago. Tavares, Karlsson, and Matthews make $11M, $11.5M, and $11.6M. $7M is not much compared to those.

Its not even half of what Crosby and Malkin were. Sheary in the top 6 is a problem.

- jdfitz77

That was then. This is now.

Last season he spent most of his time on his backside not his skates.

We have to do much better.

He is someone that can be gone along with the usual deadweight.
