Interesting Rhino take!!!

- Buff36


Depends on how good that team is
If it’s the AVs, then i wouldn’t want those low round picks for Sam
But if it’s a team like New Jersey…..
then sure, I’d be ok with that

Anything outside of 12 I would have to think very hard about it.

Be interesting to see if Klein or Addison make it through cuts.

Don't need to. Sam signing an offer sheet would be the same as when Aho did...thanks for signing him to the contract for us. We aren't cap strapped. 34m to play with, but beyond that it comes down to the os compensation now.

Under 8M, we just resign him and thank the team who did it (Aho and MTL). If a team is willing to go over 8.3 or whatever, then it's 2 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd...plus signing Sammy to a very large contract for a 60pt guy. I just don't see the juice being worth the squeeze there for either scenario...us or other teams.

It really is easy, which is why Sam won't do it.

When'd you call that yesterday I think? Pretty funny.

I don't even know who's in there prospect pool. Krebs and Glass then...nada. Still not sold they got the chips for Jackie boy. Samson sounds right up their ally though.

100%

He's obligated if we matched. Imagine that...surprise Samson, you're here for another 8 years, strap in!

Why would NJ trade for Ristolainen when they could just wait a year, not sign him, and then never have to watch him be a terrible hockey player on their team?

To be fair the Vegas stuff has been out there well before the playoffs ended

Tarasenko and Buf 3rd (MTL) to Cal, Tkachuk to Buf, Reinhart to Stl....all extended of course. Close?

An offer sheet wouldn’t be for this year’s draft anyways
Free Agency starts AFTER this year’s draft
So the picks would be in the ‘22 draft

Makes sense
Eichel could be the piece that finally puts them over the top
