After that whole Nash can help this team comment, I'm surprised you're even still here. That's at least 24-48 hrs.

if he plays at a high level, it's a good deal

much cheaper then what the sabres locked Miller up for years ago

8 years for anyone not named Carey Price doesn't seem like a great idea, fun fact the kings have 8 guys signed to 2020 or later, brown, Richards, carter, gaborik, Clifford, muzzin, Martinez, and Quick and they take up just over $37 million in cap space.

Notice that list doesn't include doughty or kopitar, and they've won 2 cups so I guess it works, just seems like they'll have to start dumping some guys they don't want to

I feel like after eating something with cinnamon in it, tim hortons coffee tastes like cigarettes.

I don't hate Tim Hortons coffee, but I don't see why everyone is so obsessed with it. Doesn't seem like anything special to me.

I'd be willing to take Carter off their hands.

Quick was 6th in the NHL in GAA and has won 2 cups

the term does not bother me when he is south of 6 mil per


that's just me of course

Well I guess Krys Barch was hired by the Sabres. No confirmation exists yet. I know this was brought up earlier.

The Gabby deal isn't too bad if he can manage to play 70 a year.

They're another team tight to the cap, but there's a few spare parts they can certainly get rid of to retool. A majority of that getting rid of thing will be trading a high priced contract or two not named Mike Richards. I mean with him, you can:

1. BO completely. This would be a $1,897,500 cap hit for 10 years.
2. Trade him and retain salary. I think the league max is 50% (feel free to correct) so that would be at the least a $2,875,000 cap hit for 5 years.
3. Trade him outright, which I'd say a 50% chance you're taking bad salary back. This is to a team who's looking for 4th line leadership minutes and PK or a team looking really hard to reach the floor. If you're not taking salary back, it's a future considerations pick or an AHL player with a very, very low chance to ever play NHL minutes. This is essentially what was done with Hank Tallinder.
4. Let him chill for his full contract for the next few years in the AHL or NHL. Then you're up poop creek.

Quick has 8 more years at 5.8 per... Yikes
- mattmoulson


For a good goalie that is great cost certainty. Not a bad price in the short term and a very good price when we will need the cap space 4 or 5 years from now.

The Bolts will absolutely aim to trade Bishop some time in the next year. They have too many starts to re-sign.

i would guess they wait another season.. they have him locked up at 5.9 and Vasey on ELC for the next two seasons.. ride it out and trade one with one or less years left on the contract.
