Max? As in? 8 mil a year? A Corey Perry or Getzlaf deal?

I dont think so.

I do, someone will pay him that.

Can someone please tell me how Pittsburgh is fitting all these players under the cap

A good GM?

capgeek says that the Wild can take on 5.995M at the deadline in deals. It isn't like Stafford's full 4M is attributed to them this season.. it is like 300k

Not to mention remember in the new CBA we could offer to suck up some of Staffords salray cap hit correct?

Someone will take Vanek on a 7 year deal at a AAV of 8M+? Not happening.

thats your opinion but Vanek would get 7-8 on the open market. Book it. Pommers would get 6....do a little research

There will always be 1 team to overpay no matter who the players is, just ask the Rangers.

happening.....

Instead of just being negative try ponying up an opinion to what he will get in the UFA market...

I am so sick of him always being injured though.. i agree that he has hte mos ttalent and can do the most for the team when he is healthy.. but at age 30.. his body is already breaking down to the point that I just don't see the necessity to pay him 7M or more with his next contract to only play like 65 games each season.

not to mention he disappears for long periods of time and especially in the playoffs the last two times we were in I believe...
- JVince11

Always hurt? 65 games?

Vanek has played 81,82,82,73,71,80 and 78 games per season over his career. That's damn good.

Not unless the team trading for him has a NASCAR track.

Pegula should have handled this when he bought the team.

could easily happen....if not that then close.

I thought Ference pasted him behind the net? he probably did both that cheap bastard he is.

it was boychuck.

Oh no you didn't

Yea I did and that's part of the reason NOBODY wants him here in Buffalo, let alone folks on this blog. Guy has never been the same after that, why in the hell would the Sharks of all teams move him when they are trying to win a cup? He should be in jail not playing Hockey.

Both are scum, does it matter? nobody did anything after that either

Can't wait for that press conference at the end of the year: (either Black or Pegula)

" we just want to thank Darcy for all his hard work over the years and he is a great guy, we wish him luck"

Edmonton offered him 7 mil before he was established as a top line player someone will pay him 8 plus especially in this league

Just because this moment is why I love Patrick Kaleta.. I will share again...

The Sabres vs Ottawa brawl...

Kaleta comes out on the ice in his very first game as a Sabre and is on the top of the faceoff circle mouthing off with Heatley...

Heatley: Boy I am gonna take you to school.

Kaleta: Well as long as you don't drive.. I like to arrive in one piece

BOOM!!!
