One of best players in the league. I rather have him at that price for 7 years then skinners contract at 8

Ahhh yes... Panarin... the former Calder Cup winner and 4 year NHL vet who is older than Jeff Skinner who is entering his 10th year in the NHL.

Buffalo/ Botts will be very quiet today in terms of UFA.

That is all.
- ImThatGuy

Good. Should be focusing on trades anyways.

~$23m in cap space, but need to sign....

Laine, Patrik
Copp, Andrew
Connor, Kyle

I would expect
~$9+ for Laine
~$3+ for Copp
~$6.5m+ for Connor

That leaves about ~$3-4m left.
- Lilroot9

And lost 3 d men

Conner they should have locked up 1st IMO.
- SABRES 89

Connor has legs, that’s leverage

I don't disagree. I doubt anyone would offersheet Laine, but I could see Connor (if any team would ever offer sheet anyone, ever).

What is with Botts and these Ottawa guys?

~$23m in cap space, but need to sign....

Laine, Patrik
Copp, Andrew
Connor, Kyle

I would expect
~$9+ for Laine
~$3+ for Copp
~$6.5m+ for Connor

That leaves about ~$3-4m left.
- Lilroot9

After signing those 3 that leaves them with only 18 players signed.

Andrew Hammond?

Seems
Odd.

Ahhh yes... Panarin... the former Calder Cup winner and 4 year NHL vet who is older than Jeff Skinner who is entering his 10th year in the NHL.

I’m a numbers guy, this checks out

And lost 3 d men

Jets and Canucks are having bidding wars over Tyler Myers and Jake Gardiner to pay them 6-7+M AAVs...

Let that sink in. They are desperate.

They are the same age. Has 100 more pts then skinner in that time frame.

Conner they should have locked up 1st IMO.
- SABRES 89

Feels like the rule is that the top priority is the guy who benefits the most from waiting.

Panarin that was the worst move of your career should of stayed with the Islanders

Since he was never an Islander I am not sure if you know how this works or not?

Plus I saw on twitter players are annoyed about having to play home games in 2 separate buildings
