unsigned RFA Dman Elliott, he wasn't going to make the Avs team out of camp. Just isn't Roys guy.

Guy went through waivers twice last year. Cant believe they got anything of value for Elliott.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: UFA D Cody Franson is currently in BUF and expected to finalize on Thursday a two-year contract. AAV is expected to be around $3.3M.

I don't even know if he will make the Yotes out of camp, wouldnt be shocked to see him on waivers as a last cut

So save a contract to nab him

commence the logjam on defense...

I like the signing! Haven't been on here in a while but I've been busy and was sick with mono for a month...

I would have preferred a LHD But if nothing else we have another vet big Defenceman who is very good at the point on the power play. Something we haven't had here in a while. Curious to see who goes over to the left now.

If Lehner can perform decently, you guys have a serious serious shot at a playoff spot. Franson is such an underrated signing. This is big for you guys

Gormley for a waiver wire player? im confused lol

Elliott is, he has played over 60 NHL games, Gormley has only 30 under his belt, so he is safe from waiver claims if he doesn't make the team out of camp.

Edit - apparently gormley has to pass through waivers too. Waiver rules are the hardest thing to figure out in the NHL

That would be great but I am not placing expectations very high. Can't be let down if you don't expect much. Lol

It's an NHL roster at least. That's for sure

If they move Bogosian over to the left

Bogosian Risto
Gorges Franson
Colaiacovo Pysyk

Weber Donovan

I posted a few weeks ago that the Sabres were talking a 3 yr deal for less money for Franson but I guess he took the 2 yr deal, figured he take the 3yr deal. Not a bad deal, good player.

Finally something Max Webster-related to argue endlessly about.

Sabres have plenty of money for the next few years

I have no problem with this signing

My how his stock has fallen.

He's waiver eligible based on his age since signing his pro deal.

He signed his pro deal at age 18 thus he has 5 waiver free years or 160 games played.

He had 2 EL slide years and 3 NHL/AHL years. His current contract is technically(from a contract stand point) his 6th season.
