Hank Balling: Free Agent Candidates for the Sabres

A lot of Buyouts coming in, we missed out on some free picks.

One thing to watch here: there were rumblings Marc-Andre Fleury might choose to retire if traded from Vegas — for family reasons. Not certain how it will all play out.

I think he reports

One last run with the Chicago core...

I cant believe he found out on twitter though

Brian Elliot ? El Paso for me.

Overpay Foligno on a short-term deal, also bring in Ritchie

All players who want to play for Vegas should take note of how they have treated the player most responsible for their success so far….

I dont usually agree with Eklund buuuut he has a point here

So what do they owe him? I've never understood this point.

Nice read Hank!! I would hope they kick the can on Ritchie and Brassard.

Maybe Mark Pysyk can tend net

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tel him face to face. Man to man

- Buff36

Thanks. Both would be quality adds. Brassard likely comes cheap too

Ritchie would be nice. I’d like to see him throw down on Risto a few times a year.

Fleury has been their face of the franchise since they became a thing

Has carried that team all while their coaches have done him dirty time and time again, and they don't have the decency to tell him, he has to find out on twitter???

Marc-Andre Fleury is the best goalie/teammate I have ever played with. A lot of people would agree. Treats everyone like gold. It’s crazy how he gets treated in the hockey world. #1stballlot

See, this is why you need to be a GM. Owners would love you. Doing more with less.

He slices ! He dices !

And think of the money they’d save on ear plugs !

Blake Coleman + Nick Ritchie + Alex Ovechkin + Players from Eichel Trade = Playoffs

Thanks. Both would be quality adds. Brassard likely comes cheap too

39 posted something yesterday about Ullmark at possibly 3yrs just under 5m, that would be a perfect contract if true. Brassard would be a perfect fit between Girgs and Okposo.

Another good read Crags! I hope we stay away from Martin Jones...His numbers get worse every year

They'll have the money. Gotta spend it somewhere

It is crazy, even going back to his Pittsburgh days.

I don't feel like Vegas has the prospects to get the Eichel deal done.

Tuch is 25 and doesn't really fit the timeline unless they are flipping him for picks/prosepcts.

Maybe not but he is signed for the next 5 years which is a good thing

Thx

I'm curious what they do behind Ullmark if that gets done. Not really a fan of Elliott but it feels like a realistic move
