There goes the Kings

Also McCabes contract with the Hawks is nuts for a guy coming off major knee surgery.

Remember when the Blues signed Bozak and everyone thought they were out on ROR?

Nope. His NMC kicks in July 1st 2022. NHL draft is a week before.
- Stripes77



No moves are overatted if he’s under contract still.

Taylor Hall yes, move him because once deadline is past you get nothing


Jack: hey we made a trade with this team. Don’t want to go there? Fine you are on our team for 4 more years. Sorry we will never trade you to Boston. Easy to get around it

Cutting it a little close!!!

The teams that will want him know they have to get him before his NMC. Plus assuming he’s healthy they’ll have to pay up.

It’s not ideal but a healthy Jack will always get you more on the trade market.

Are the Sabres the only team not to make a move yet?

Good point. Is there a way the Sabres can keep him out of the locker room. Don't want him contaminating the young players with his attitude.

I mean if you’re goal is to pick top 3 and give yourself unlimited options next seasons with a boatload of cap space, should we really be concerned ?

I wish last offseason all we did was sign Cagguila. Would have been great not having Eakin and Reider taking up spots from younger players.

That $72M Skinner got was flashy. How lucky were we to get the big fish….

he's a great defensive center who can pot 40-50

Might look a bit rough at the end, but next couple years will be nice

I fear Haula watch will once again end with the Sabres not acquiring the lad.

Depressing.

"can" being the key word.

Sorry, you don't go from Eichel to Danault as your back up plan. Teams still think they're getting Jack for free, so let them overpay for middle six talent.

No, no, TODAY we need to sign over the hill players too much money to be here, or else KA and the team are failures. Don't you get it?
