I'm not sure if we're "that destination " for these guys.

Sabres need to bring in guys via trade IMO.

ufas rarely work out
Last paycheck is gonna cash in long term IMO
Probably in Pittsburgh

- Boss34


I think it will all come down to how much of a haircut these guys would take to sign with the elites of the league. I don't think any of the big teams have much cap space.

UFAs work out all of the time. I think what you meant to say is that big-ticket UFAs rarely work out. I don't think a guy like Letang would be a big-ticket item because term would be short.

Not sure why exactly but Letang seems like the kind of player TPegs would pay to get. Just a feeling

What worries me about Dom is this: why does he never stick anywhere?

This is pretty much spot on. The first years of UFA deals usually work out okay, at least. It's the nightmare of needing to get out from under the deal in years 4-8 where the problem lies.

I think he might appeal to the side of TPegs that liked the big-ticket additions: Rex Ryan, Taylor Hall, etc. Maybe in his mind he would think that Letang makes us cup contenders.....

Yes , good post. More big ticket $ ufas
Good point with the cap and the good teams too

Hard to find a good team that can pay big bucks

I think they stay with the pens

It doesn't matter, he's overpaid so him and his family should be excommunicated to the Congo.
