If you are handsome, married to a babe 11 years younger than you, work hard but nearly dirt poor then you might be me.

i did stay at a holiday inn express last night

i'm wondering what the qualifying offer would have been...

he signed a 2yr./$7.550M deal with $2.850M in performance bonuses...do they go off of the base salary or the total AAV?
- Michael Pachla

His qualifying offer was sub $1M, so he would have went to arbitration.

Sabres didn’t want to get stuck with the award I’d assume.

They better be moving Montour in a deal here for a top 6 forward.

That's what I was wondering, cause his AAV is 3.7mill, probably smart they didn't want to go to Arb. If it is AAV.

Nothing about losing a middle six player, who can score, play any position, is young, when you’re about to lose 2 of your other middle six players, is smart

Must be something on Rossi and Perfetti the scouts are not seeing. Size, soft? I don’t know, but for 8 teams scouts to pass there is something off.
- lulags

We as fans read all the hype on these prospects and believe what is being written but if all these writers were so smart why aren't they working for an NHL teams scouting department? Grigorenko dropped like anchor when he was top 3 if I remember right, who was right?
Ok, our scouts were wrong too lol I agree with what someone said yesterday, for the most part the NHL draft is a crapshoot

kinda my gut feeling also
- sgk56

There is, the first offer was turned down, but close enough that there meeting again tomorrow. Bet he signs a 2yr deal tomorrow.

So a Motel 😏

People are saying 3m
- GERBE!!!75PTS

qo is 10% above...it's either $1M or $4M...

$3M doesn't fit

i missed the sarcasm...

*shrugs*
- Michael Pachla

No sarcasm, truly must be something off with these 2 guys and the scouts know it or they would have both been top 5 based on production

They haven't lost him yet, the first offer was turned down, but close enough that there meeting again tomorrow.

could be or they could be letting the wrong guys fall like quinn hughes last season.

Maybe they should employ these people.

Just a thought.

if a deal was almost in place for kahun, give him the arbitration offer and work out the contract tomorrow

literally nothing was learned from drury


I hope kahun walks, it's the sabres way


seriously, WTF

I came up with $1.85M as armchair gm...it doubles his celery (blue cheese not included)

total sh!t show

- wingz4life

True. It’s really such a crapshoot on everything after #2 every year really.

Maybe they should employ these people.

Just a thought.
- Pegullaville

Pegs I wish I knew the answers...I'd like to see a Stanley Cup here before my times up lol

Totally agree, everyone's just burned out around here. He's not going anywhere!

- homiedclown

what was the arbitration offer?

- Leninthebuff

As do I.

- Buff36

There’s 0 reason to risk it.

It’s a one year award through arbitration

Their primary concern is $ and are now risking losing good players over it.

The owners are absolutely terrible and the GM has 0 experience and looks in over his head

Whatever.

total sh!t show
- homiedclown

valium is a good drug at times...Xanax works well too...a well proportioned edible or a few tokes is also an approved method for chilling out...

Hopefully they move sam for a big trade

This is sarcasm, right?

- sgk56

100% agreed. I watched 0 of the finals and hardly any playoffs because I’m just burnt by the Sabres.
