So basically we're going to get whichever goalie the price seems right on for Murray. He obviously hasn't liked what they want yet or one of them would already be done.

Well, no surprise here. Just like the deadline, it comes down to the wire because teams demand more for their assets before hand.

Rangers want to restock, Canucks really want 2nd/3rd rd picks, Ott NEEDS to shed a goalie.. And if they don't get their picks by tonight or early tomorrow morning, say goodbye to useful 2015 picks.

All 3 goalies, Sharp and more will be moved in the next 24 hours. Count it.

Someone should tell the Walrus that the Sabres can't sign ROR for 8 years. Expert analysis at its finest.

But am I Garthable?

As much as everyone loves to poke fun at you Adam.. that's a bannable insult. I wouldn't ever say that to anyone.

PS, gonna miss your occasional blogs round here.

I just never understood the logic where any of these goaltenders absolutely had to be moved before this weekend is over.
- buffalofan19

They all want high picks in this draft. Simple as that.

Eichel at 2? F*cking reach

Sure they can. If they trade for him. Not that I want that or anything.

Technicially they can, but the player has to be with a team for 12 months before they can. So, if they trade for him now, they could on June 26th of next year. Which would be 5 days before free agency starts

That's not correct. It was pointed out yesterday. A player needs to be with a team for a calendar year in order to get an 8 year deal. If Buffalo trades for him, the highest they can go is seven. Colorado is the only team that can give him 8 years this summer.

And by that time, O'Reilly would probably want to test the market.

I have to give the guy credit, though. Either he or his agent has mastered the money game in this league better than anyone of his age I have ever seen.

I hope we pull off a deal for a goalie that we haven't really heard about lately...
Gibson?
Bernier?

Heck, I'd even rather Anderson or Elliott & the draft a goalie

It would be a surprise if we don't do something though this weekend

Exactly. I wouldn't risk it. Not with the amount of assets they'd have to give up to get the deal donw.

You're mockable.

bye bye No'Reilly...

- TheSabresTaco

If O'Reilly is looking for an 8 year deal this year, he cannot get it from Buffalo. If he's willing to wait another calendar year, he would be.

If Buffalo were to trade for him, it would have to be with a stipulation of a long term deal, which could not be 8 years.

This is what happens when offer sheets happen. People get wildly overpayed.

That (frank)ing clown should max out at 6m. As a UFA.

You're clearly not Garth in disguise.

New offer for you to think about.

21st, Grigorenko, Zadorov. Wait. Pysyk!

If he can pull it off, more power to him. I just hope the Sabres aren't the team to oblige.

Well, you know my stance.

I have faith that one god or another is listening to me. I'm bringing them all into this.

He's not even the best player on his team, so why he thinks he should be paid as such is ludicrous.

60 mil over 7 years is a bit much. Not sure there are too many teams that would do it . Let alone be able to afford it
