Blackhawks say Perry being cut is completely unrelated to him sleeping with bedards mom.

if it was any team other than the hawks, I would believe them

So Greenway comes back, does rosen sit in 12-6? Do they both sit in 11-7?
- TheSabresTaco

10-8

bench rosen and kulich

No you're right on that. But why is Don in the position that playing 11-7 makes them a better team?

2 johnsons are better than 1

almost everyone said karlsson was bad in his own end and don't get him

has anyone checked the stats for the pens goalies this year vs last year?

2.60 gaa .922 save percentage this year

3.21 gaa .907 save percentage last year

Props to him for slowly, beginning to attempt to dig himself out of the hole he voluntarily jumped into.

That’s what Bedard’s mom said.

Sounds like a 2mil per projection. Maybe he will bang Lucas Raymond’s Mom for some street cred

Casey are his representatives gonna be paid well. Buffalo Sabres have some very intriguing decisions looming in the near future. I think the ceiling for CM37 is much, much higher than some here believe. Is TT and his salary the starting point or is it higher? Casey has been our most productive and consistent forward this year

Right on que, Karlsson just got burned in OT to finish -2 on the night

Contradicting statements from the team and perry suggest otherwise

I’m hearing he was spotted snorting gorilla fingers of Bedards mom’s landing strip..

At 25, he's most likely close to his peak.

Pierre-Luc Dubois got 8x8.5m. It's a reasonable comp. I'd guess he'd come in below that, but you never know who is going to fight for their $.

I agree with you on everything except I think Casey has a ways to go to reach his potential. He has obviously taken his training seriously and the results are there. I still think he is a wildcard and see him getting better and better for the next few years. I think your numbers are reasonable for term and $

I think the Reinhart bridge in Florida ironically enough is a good comp.

$7M per for 3 or 4 years, take your pick and can still get a big contract afterwords at age 28/29.

It's fair, but it's Florida and he's not a C. Bumps things up significnatly.

Mitts’ only leverage is asking for a trade, which I guess is entirely possible. His QO offer will be low due to his existing contract and he could always go to Arb and push himself to UFA but I think the allure of a 3 year deal at Tage’s AAV shade over $7M per could be what the doctor ordered

It's gotta come in way lower than this number. Dubois was much better early on in his career and had posted 3 seasons of 25+ goals. Casey may not get to 20 this year.

Obviously not taking away anything from his game, which has been great. But we know that perhaps the single biggest needle mover in contract talks is goals. That's how Cozens got his 7 mil, he was on pace for like 30 goals when he signed I think.

I can't think of a better career comparable right now for Mittelstadt than Dylan Strome. Nearly identical ppg in his last year in CHI vs. Mittelstadt last year. And he signed a 5x5 after 36 pts in 36 games. I think Casey will get more than this but his deal will likely be closer to Strome's than Dubois'.

He's not that far from UFA and arb is a huge threat. I think that's a lot of levarage.

Like I said before, you just never know who is going to fight and who might settle. Difference now is that they are very limited in what they can give out. Can't imagine they want their hands tied when Tuch and Benson are up for new deals in a couple years.

For the most part, the out of town scoreboards have really fallen in the Sabres favour the last few nights.

The Eastern conference is mid, unfortunately the Sabres are too at the moment.

If they can find consistency though, they can without a doubt take a wildcard spot

Bridge I think is enticing to both the team and the player for the points you alluded to.

Sabres have committed term to Tage, Cozens, Power, Dahlin and have Peterka, Quinn, Benson who will command $$$$ within the next couple of years. Another long term deal restricts flexibility.

On Mitts end, pocket $21M over the next three years and continue to play like this you can be looking at $10M plus on a long term deal either by the Sabres or someone else in free agency at that point with the rising cap.

All depends on what the player and their reps think

I know it's on the high side, but I think you're pushing it with Strome on the low side. There's a number of guys in that 7'ish range who aren't really goal scorers.

Term is a huge part of it too, of course. Like I said last post, handing out another 7/8 year deal might be difficult. If you just want to buy a year or 2 of UFA, cost should come down a bit.

I think most guys in his shoes want the long term deal. Watching everyone else land one makes it awkward here.

That's a bit optimistic

Yeah agree on both fronts, but I picked Strome because the sudden nature of his turn around kinda reminded me of Casey after years of not living up to the hype.

Id have to look back on those players but the history on those 7 mil guys also matters quite a bit too as far as leverage is concerned.

I think the EH twins had him projected at 6 years and a bit under 6 mil for an 87.5 mil cap. Im not sure you can get him at that number for 6 years but 4 maybe?
