what do you do when they earn it

Then it called Depth at a position!! Can you get the concept!! Let me explain your have injuries and you need the NEXT MAN UP!! You get it?

Feels like actual playoff experience, even if it were only one round, or hell, just being in a real playoff chase, would do wonders for all the young players.

It would make some of these guys want to stay and accomplish something here in buffalo. Even a taste of winning and the fans backing....

Would you really pay Malkin 10 m x 3 years?

Doubt he goes shorter than 3 years.

If he's walking away from Calgary's offer, his top priority is absolutely not money.

Calgary offered Johnny 8yrs 10+ Avv

when a team does this, and the player still walks, the team should get something

maybe they need to come up with a franchise tag where each team can keep 1 player if they open up their wallet

get rid of guaranteed contracts, implement franchise tag.

Agreed. I can't bash KA if he says we offered Malkin 2 for 26 or JG 10 x 10 and they said no.

Was just about to say Good Post last page, that ended quickly.

It was and is a good post !! Jinx!!

What if he wanted eleven per? If it were something else he would have just stopped negotiating with them.

In the era of player power across sports that we're in, I'm waiting for the first prime athlete to bet on himself year after year on one year deals. Imagine if Aaron Judge said I'm going to do one year deals from here out. He could make $65 mil a year for 5 years straight if he was healthy. Probably something an NBA player will attempt first. Those guys make $20 mil per just for being ham and eggers.

Very good point. It's unfair to the smaller cities.

I'm not really sure?

Definitely on paper.

Do you give malkin the "C" ?
Does he demand the "C" being a ufa and playing behind sid his entire career.

What happens to Dad okposo? Where's that vibe?

What could this possibly (frank)ing mean in the English language?

Geno doesn't strike me a guy who comes in and demands the C. I think he'd be happy to come in and score his goals. Imagine how good our PP would be with Malkin on one and Vic on the other. 2 deadly units. That's what she said.

Step up

[quote=TheSabresTaco]

1 year 2.5 million for okposo
I think that's what you meant?

Guy just had a 20 goal scorer and might be a nhl captain next season.

He's gonna get paid again 🌮
Not taking a 60% pay cut

I all of you fight the fight on first and first with a hat.

Would have a fun time!!

Wouldn't be a Sabres blog without the occasional flare up between posters and the threat of bodily harm!! Good stuff

- Slump Buster

It would have to be at least $11.4M per if another team signed him as they can only go 7 years.
