He has balls for asking for a raise when he did absolutely nothing lol
- gerbe75pts

Maybe he just wants out and figured this was the best way to do it.

Didn’t this happen with Tim Kennedy I can’t remember ? He got $1 million And we had to buy him out
- gerbe75pts

Yes. And he played what 12 or less nhl games the rest of his career

Big trade is yet to come by GMJB, he is not done.
Call it a hunch.

10 defensemen and a dearth of talent at the RW position. There will be.

I think right now, it's

Skinner-Eichel-Sheary
Olofsson-Mitts-Reinhart
Vesey-Erod-Johansson

Get another RW that can bump Sheary to L4 and it's a pretty decent top 9

I'm not so worried about center. If Mitts looks like poop, they'll try Johansson there

I wonder if Ellie arbitration award would be less than the QO? I am sure that can’t happen but what the hell
- SabresFaninIndiana

I think I read somewhere the award can be as little as 80% of the QO

He could’ve easily told the Sabres please don’t send me a qualifying offer and they probably would’ve said OK

That's right.

It's true, but the award needs to be over 3.5 (or something close that).
- Lunaion

Looks like this is true - I was reading an oversimplified article.

Here’s a better one.

- joevthree

85% if team files for the arb.

Player files for arb after a QO, which must be 105% in most cases.

Not in the rules I read.

As long as the QO is made and declined the team can walk from the award and the player becomes UFA.
- Der Kaiser

Bit boring, but here it is. It's a little old, so the number 4.something million now.


"The arbitrator’s decision is binding and final. However, teams have “Walk-Away Rights” when the player elects arbitration. Teams cannot exercise these rights more than once per year (they can exercise this right twice in a year where three or four arbitration awards have been assessed to their players, but this is a very rare occurrence). If the award issued is for one-year and $3.5 million or greater, the team can (within 48 hours) tell the player, NHLPA, and NHL in writing that it does not intend to go forward with the award. Once this is done, the player is considered an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA). But, if the award is for two years and $3.5 million per year or greater and the team decides to walk-away, the player will enter into a one-year deal for the compensation set by the arbitrator, and the player will be considered a UFA after the season. It should be noted that the $3.5 million threshold will be increased at the same rate as the Average League Salary every season (this year's threshold is $4,084,219)."

Teams are talking about how they’re gonna make a Stanley Cup run
And we’re talking about Ellie lol

- jcragcrumple

your close to what I think it will be

sheary, nylander, tage and olofsson are the wild cards

I really think they need to spread it out in 2 lines so right now I would go


skinner-eichel-nylander
johansson-casey-reinhart
olofsson-e-rod-vesey
sheary-stink-stank-

stunk


but the only way you get tage in your top 9, is if johansson or reinhart is playing center

Avalanche prospect A.J. Greer and Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Sonny Milano were arrested Sunday morning in New York City and charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, for allegedly beating up a man in a Greenwich Village apartment..

- SabresFaninIndiana

That was actually a good conversation

Even though all of you answered wrong

Yea except when she flirted with the entire world and threatened to off herself when I broke up with her and then continued to bash me and stalk me when I was with my most recent ex. Good times.

Way too many left handed shot wingers ...... and i dont buy the argument a lefty can play on the right side. Its not the same. Very rarely does it work out.
