Can you keep up with the conversation

I have posted several more times

Go ahead and back read

Still would have been $4 million to pay Lehner back then

So yeah letting him walk was the right thing to do

Doesn't it have to be 110% or am I mistaken how it works?

Edit:

Players who earned less than $660,000 in the previous NHL season must be offered at least 110 percent of last season's salary in a qualifying offer.
Players who earned up to $1 million must be offered 105 percent.
Players who earned over $1 million must be offered 100 percent.

- Stripes77


You found it. It does seem like it's generally discussed that 110% applies to everyone, when in reality, it doesn't apply to many guys at all.

Ok instead of a chance at Boeser, Konency, Roslovic, Aho, Bracco, oh and we had the 62 that year we traded to the Rangers, Cirreli was picked a few spots after that
- Buff36



Dude you can’t cherry pick the absolute best players in a draft and think we would of got them. We could of easily drafted Carlsson, Roy, Fischer and Foley instead and be devastated right now .

Kane, Oreilly and Lehner for

White, Roslovic, Roy, Cernak, Armia and Cohmper.

I think I would still rather have the top 3. Would be in position to win now. Solid third line there we could of had now though with those prospects.

on the top 3 guys we just have Montour, Thompson and Johnson from trade. like those three over the picks we gave up though.

- Fattony1187


Only part you forget is if we don’t make the move for ROR we end up with one of Matthews/Laine/Puluarvi/Tkachuk instead of Nylander.

May as well list everyone that was traded away. I would have preferred the latter and not trading for a quick fix.

So we get Pulvarji instead of Nylander. No difference.

We get Laine and we don’t have Dahlin. No thanks.

Mitts has the worst +\- on the team after only playing 12 games in Rochester with a -7, 4 goals, 3 assists. My fears of him being a complete bust seem to becoming true. He must be just floating every game to have a -7

Hes not bust he just needs to workout

Been saying this for years.

Move every hockey league's minimum age requirement forward a year or two.

- Powerslave

There are players who justify playing at 18 or 19
In every major sport. It’s the scouts and coaches jobs to determine if they are ready. We just don’t do a very good job in either of those departments

It's so difficult to go back say we would have taken this guy or that guy.

We would have drafted higher or lower, etc.

The only thing we can say is this:

Murray traded away players and a lot of draft picks for ROR Kane and Lehner.

It blew up in his face.

I know we wouldn't have taken all of them, but damn even if he hit on a couple of them with keeping some of the players traded, this team would be totally different.

How do you know we don’t get Matthews ? We easily could have been the worst team in the league that year. I accidentally left out Dubois but he would be a perfect 2C on this team right now and we’d still have Dahlin.

You guys should all open psychic hotlines since you’re so good and seeing the future and altering the past

I like the alternate reality where we end up with both Tkachucks.

From what I hear Murray was told to go for it, but even if he slows down in all his trades this team is totally different. What he did was (frank) this Franchise for another 6 years, and probably the only reason Botts is getting a longer leash is because of that and the Pegula's recognizing how much they screwed up

Victor Olofsson was not wearing a walking boot while performing off-ice workouts this morning in Bridgestone Arena.

Encouraging sign for Olofsson and the Sabres.

For a guy that left the team voluntarily, and for a team that clearly doesn't think much of him as a player?

Both offers are too much to give up in that regard.

It's not seeing the past, just understanding that the Franchise was (frank)ed up the ASS by mismanagement

I still feel he's going to be a top 15 player in the NHL he just needs to diet and stop playing video games everyday

I like the one where people think we would have Matthews, Aho, Boeser, Konecny, along with Eichel and Dahlin on this team.
