The projection is in part based on the already known cap limit going up $1M to $82.5M for the 22-23 season, as the calculations are based on percentage of the cap limit.

The cap is scheduled to go up $1M each of the next 3 seasons, then it should see a more significant bump due to the escrow being paid off.

Which is fair, those gentleman have been very good with their projections the past few years.

I just think this year’s scoring output was a bit of an outlier and if combined on a 3 year rolling average would skew the cap hits a tad in comparison to prior seasons

As the 3? Rochester starter.

You don’t have a kid to put there. May as well put Subban

- Gr8daygo


I'm 100% fine with that idea. If Adams is contemplating a Subban/UPL tandem at the NHL level then may God have mercy on us all

Gerbe said the same team, so unless PK is going to Rochester, I'm officially worried

Fiala was top 10 in even strength scoring this season.

That surprised me.

He really hit a stride when Boldy got called up from what I’ve heard.

I’ve always liked the player, but acquisition cost and how much he ultimately makes will depend if it’s worth it for the Sabres or not

25 points in his first 35 games, and 60 in his last 47.

Even if the assets needed to trade for him were reasonable, paying him $64M for 8 years is a big gulp idea.

My offer would be 7M AAV for 6 years.

Trade offer would be VGK first and a prospect like Nadeau/Bloom

I believe he's going to want $8M per on a long term deal.

Based on that, the assets going the other way make sense as not many teams can pay Fiala the contract he'll demand.

Sabres are going to sign PK and call it a day by the sounds of it regardless.

I’m excited at the potential players available at 9 and 16, analytics and amateur scouts gotta earn their bacon this offseason

Well it would be the same team once Upl or Anderson get injured, which would probably be often…

Buffalo is going to take care of their own and contract talks have slowly started kicking in.

And you might be seeing brothers on the same team if money works( Can't give you the name but you'll figure it out )

Cya later

We were all big on trying to land JG his down year. Gotta wonder how that would have played out. Would he have rebounded in Buffalo like he has in Calgary?
