Yeah I could have worded that better. I meant UFA after next season.

My 11 month old woke me up early and I have yet to have my coffee

Don’t do it. Way to quick with the ban hammer. They are a sensitive bunch about their hockey team. You’ll end up wondering the waste land with poor Boos. Stupid leaves mods.

They definitely went for it. They only have 12 players signed next year with barely 10 mill in Cap Space.

Check this out: part of his ELC deal shows he's getting paid $10.5K for Juniors.

Don't think I've seen that before.

Matthews is a UFA next year too, and until he has an extension in place, I will operate under the possibility of him leaving

Maybe that's the Sabres grand plan, not this offseason but next...🤔🤔🤔

Yeah, I can't anyway. I am banned over there by that Cush guy. They got me for a Week here and I am not allowed over there. Damn Participation Trophy!!

I wonder how Elias Pettersson feels about Vancouver’s rebuild.

Thinking of trading for him?

https://www.capfriendly.c.../players/elias-pettersson

His salary next season is $10M, but luckily, due to the updated league rules, his QO after next season is not $10M. It's $8.8M.

Yeah for an elite talent like Pettersson I wouldn’t be scared off by his contract.

This is the exact player you have the flexibility for now that you have Tage & Cozens signed for $14.3M.

Cap space out the wazoo and number of prospects that could go back to Vancouver.

Curious if it would take similar or more than the current ask for Meier? I'm guessing more.

The Sabres don't seem to want to trade for anybody that they would have to pay more than Tage or Cozens are getting.

I hope that is not true.

- Elias plays the more premium position (Center vs Winger)

- Elias is a better player (although Timo is elite himself so not necessarily taking a shot at him)

-Elias is signed through next season whereas Timo expires this season. Elias is also two years younger (perhaps plays a role in the return)

It would take a haul to get Pettersson out of Vancouver

Jeff Skinner last scored a goal of any type, in this case an even strength goal, 1/24 against St. Louis.
Tage Thompson last scored an even strength goal 1/26 against Winnipeg. He has had two PPGs since then.

Need more, boys. Let's go.

Goalie bingo odds:
UPL 50%
Comrie 35%
Anderson 15%

Do the Leafs wanna give up a 2nd for CA? Might as well throw everything at it if you're Toronto.

Would Elias be willing to extend for $7M per?

The Sabres don't seem to want to come off that plan.

I highly doubt it, but I would hope that they would make an exception for a super star like Elias.

He would be the best player on the Sabres today.

Too bad the Sabres don't have a quality defense prospect.

I've wanted him since the offseason, but why would Philly trade him? He's a player you hold on to.

+320 on the Workhorse from Whitehorse. That's a good payday on a night where goals will happen.
