They have to spend about $12.5 million to get to the floor. Olofsson and a bunch of bargain basement players aren’t gonna get that done, especially when two guys coming up are on their ELCs.

Olofsson $6
PK $5
Vinnie Hinnie $1.25m
Pysyk $1m
Lindgren $1m

Notice he hasn't been able to get Tokarski or Subban signed either.

I wonder if he is slow playing tokarski as he doesn't know how many bodies are coming in.

Depth guys = Roch

No reason for Tokarski/Subban to accept a cheaper two-way deal today. Why spend on guys who don't count towards the cap?

Does PK even want to play anymore?

I mean 3 years at $5 mill to ride the vibe train with your brother….

If they get sent down they won’t count against the cap, don’t they get up to a million dollar relief on contracts sent to the minors?

Weird how we’ve gotten radio silence on Olofsson since the draft ended

I'm talking actual $. They've gotten really cheap with Roch since they canned JB.

The draft was 2 days ago, and Adams said they were close when asked at the draft.

Not really. It’s usually quiet with RFAs minus a signing here or there. Qualifying contracts go out and since there’s no real threat of an offer sheet GMs wait on their RFAs

If it's not PK, it's gotta be someone. I'd prefer they give it to Kuemper

To quote Nelson Muntz from the Simpsons:

I guess the hard deadline would be the inevitable arbitration date.

Goalies are a little different. Dell was sent down on a 1 way last year.

Depth for Rochester for players are usually two way deals league wide.

Agreed.

Chicago blatantly, shamefully tanking. Will anyone call them out on it? Or no because they're an original 6?

They’d rather take heat for that than allowing one of their own players to get sexually assaulted.

Dell was on a 2-way at 350k. Tokarski a 2-way at 200k Subban was on a 1-way, from Chi.

Most of the better AHL player on higher two-ways or 1 way deals. JB gave many out. KA none.

You think his contract had anything to do with it? I don't.

This needs to be posted with any Sabres signings this year…. Also, I think bjustead is a free agent! Elite height for the bottom 6. Bjustead or Eakin! pick your poison.

"Pilut signed a two-year contract with Traktor in June 2020 because the Sabres' previous management was initially unwilling to give him a one-way contract after he split two seasons between Buffalo and Rochester. When Jason Botterill's staff finally agreed to Pilut's request, it was too late. "

Carings great but results are better.
