He may not be the smartest guy I know, but he's clearly smarter than you ☝️

You show your age when you act like he got lucky 🤔

Maybe.
Depends on the number of UFA years included in the contract term.
If he gets 6 years, then you're probably right.

I based my estimate on 3 years, so only 2 years of UFA...
For comparison, the Twins projection is 4 years at $4.95..so, 4 x $5.0

One year less of UFA contract year should equate to slightly less, IMO.
I discounted it by $200k (4%)


What does your Fantasy mag say, lol.
Sorry Bossy, couldn't resist.

Sorry, but this post makes zero sense.

What exactly are they cheap with?

You wanted them to just start throwing money around in the beginning of a rebuild?

Fact: they've spent to or close to the cap way more often than not.

It is not the owner's fault Taylor Hall was a piece of crap here.

- Powerslave


They spent to the cap on guys like Matt Moulson(on the downhill), Evander Kane(not good for rookies), Okposo on the downhill. Post-MVP Hall(howd the MVP do again?)

They've been cheap with hiring another scouting department. Get Sam under contract. Didn't pay O'reilly bonus to get a better deal, wouldn't hold cap when it made sense to.

They spend when they shouldn't and they don't where they should.

Don't have to look far. They paid Okposo 42m.

I don't blame Jack and Ralph for everything. I know I'm in the minority.

- Lunaion


Cheapskates paying okposo 42 million.

Still isnt 8 million a year .....

Ya, I can NOT (edit) pin "cheap" on the Pegula's except for the ROR Bonus issue...but even that was more spiteful than cheap.

I don't care how rich one is, losing $42m in a year AND being world-class poopty on ice for the 5th or 6th year in a row just doesn't stack up to spend more money.

Kevyn has proven so far to be pretty effective especially when considering what he had to start with in year 1.

I can't defend " the pegulas have made major mistakes and are not good nhl owners"

They spend $ now, which has indeed ,been part of the major mistakes.

Cheap, dirty d is too young and Canadian to understand ralph c. Wilson economics early on with the Bill's

That's really lucky.

Brandon beane was a skillful move and terry had big time say in drafting JOSH F. ALLEN.


no offense, but your acting like peg'sville.

If , that, lucky, run the ball....

When your the one to suggest to grab said player and suggest we are Stanley cup contenders with said player... you are to blame when said player does not do well.

You're really reaching.

Evander Kane not good for rookies? 😂.

Okposo was at the top of the FA class that year.

Should they have gotten Hall PRE-MVP instead?

Here's your hockey department

https://www.nhl.com/sabres/team/staff

They've built it up rather nicely again.

Sorry, the Pegula's may be shi**ty people, and have perhaps hired the wrong people to run their hockey team, but they are not cheap.
