I'm not a huge fan of Girgensons or Larsson but it could be worse, Elie is worthless. I would have liked to seen a change with Girgensons and Larsson gone, but.............
- SABRES 89


There's no way he's on the team. I guess it really doesn't matter to the Sabres cap unless it's over $1m, right? Anything up to that point is removed from the cap when he is inevitably waived I believe.

On the other hand, why waste one of our 50 contracts on a guy who cleared waivers for the 5th worst team in the league last year? Who the (frank) knows

Lazar
20goals in 57games in the minors last year

Elie
8goals in 25games, pace of 18goals in 57games

How come Lazar has upside,
and Elie is worthless???

Elie was signed to a NHL contract to ensure he didn’t leave to go to another organization
He was signed bc they value him for Rochester
Probably a good locker room guy & example for the kids

We aren’t the only team that has done this
It’s not a big deal at all

I really don’t understand why on earth anyone cares about this???

Elie was a decent player in Dallas. He made sense to take Wilson's spot when he got hurt. Now that they have 20 LW's, it's just confusing. They let Wilson become a UFA last year, rather than deal with the arb process.

Buried exemption is up to $1,075,000 this year.

Part of that was for you,
answering why Elie is signed to a nhl contract

My post was a general address to everyone who’s bring up Elie like it should matter at all

They like him for Rochester
Probably had to sign him to the NHL contract to keep him

NOT a big deal

I was looking at mine and thinking the same about myself lol.

Sucks if you were born during a Gretzky art Ross year, and named Wayne.

I’d say we’re close.

Crosby and Wayne is too good of a duo though

I'm happy with mine

Paul Kariya
Adam Oates
Bobby Orr

If I felt I needed a more defensive dman I could either swap Kariya with Pronger or Oates with Graves. Would have to base it on who I was facing.

“It’s OT, you have to create a 3 player line. Your team is composed of:
- A player born the same year as you
- A player who has the same first name as you
- The player who won Art Ross the year you were born

Who you got?”

Saw this on Twitter...
For poops and giggles.
