Yeah most likely but he’s a good goalie. Never got enough credit for what he did for us imo.

Hearing a deal between Alex Pietrangelo and Vegas could be getting close. A decision/announcement may come as soon as tonight.

How far Over the cap can they go before they need to be back under? [/img]

Wasn’t that RNH? They both could like him as a couch, just thought it was someone else.

Hall was quoted if he ever became a coach he would want to be like Krueger.

Kind of gives me hope, for the first time mind you, that a big fish could sign here.

I'm gonna go the opposite direction and keep my hopes to a minimum. The second I start to think their is any chance he signs here boom hes a bruin.

I’d imagine teams will get some leeway until the season starts

Should be only 10% over in offseason. Doubt they give them more room for long. Now ask for more for Fluery....

It was Hall

I do think there is a small chance he comes here, as now the Sabres absolutely have to be desperate to do anything that moves the needle since they have pretty much fumbled this offseason so far

- sbroads24


Realistically i think he goes to Boston or Nashville at 7.5per. There’s a lot top tier wingers still out there in a waiting pattern waiting for Hall to sign. I’d be happy with any of them really:
Granlund
Hoffman
Galchenyuk
Toffoli
Dadonov
Athanasiou
Haula
Martin
Vesey (ha)

Only so much $ left a lot of the guys are going to sign bargain contracts

Devils star winger Taylor Hall is a big fan of Sabres coach Ralph Krueger.

"If I could take anything, and this may sound weird, but if I were to coach some day, I’d want to have an attitude like he did."

To be honest this board is the only one talking about Hall and Buffalo, not even a whisper anywhere else. I’m assuming we don’t get him (for my own mental well-being) but am interested how quickly the
Hoffman’s of the world sign after the Hall domino falls.

Realistically the gerbe plane thing Didn’t happen as it would have leaked, like the pietroangelo trip to LV, and Canadians aren’t allowed to go into the states anyway.

The hall Ralph love affair is real

The pegula internal cap is also probably real

so maybe we do have a 5% chance Of
Hall signing in Buffalo.

More likely is a Toffoli or dandonov. Hoffman would be lethal with eichel too

Thats good that no one is talking about it. It likely means his camp isn't leaking it to drive up his contract value. Maybe their is a legit chance he's considering buffalo.

LV have a deal in place to relieve cap by trading MAF? Give me MAF and Tuch for Hutton, but taking in $10m cap for us is probably unrealistic. Maybe they’ll retain $2m of MAF?

Take Fluery and a Marchessault for Okposo and waive Hutton

Saves them 6 mil for a top 6 Player

If Mitts would've stopped eating Bon Bon's and Snickers Ice Cream Bars over the last 6 months we would have probably had a goalie.

I'm counting on Mitts making our team...and being good. Too high of a draft pick for this not to happen. He HAS to be good for us.
