Since 1999 8 players have signed offer sheets. Of those only 1 was not matched (Penner). So its been tried 8 times in 17 years and succeeded once. History is on this side.

He also has to agree to the offer sheet. Kucherov might want to stay in Tampa since they have the best chance for a cup.
- Zschalberg

Very true
But what can Tampa offer him?
Maybe a 2yr deal at 5-6per?
Put that up against a 7year deal from us, for 7.5mil (or more)
Makes his decision pretty tough
Getting Okposo helps us recruit too

To be fair they said it was the best signing of the day
- Slump Buster

They did but they could talk about it more.

One year, 5.75M for Radulov.

Hamhuis to DAL. $3.75M AAV on two year deal.

Let me ask:

If it's Kulikov, Vesey and Okposo are we happy with that?
No more trades until next offseason we will say.

I heard rumours of 6M per year for 6 years for Okposo, I hope that isn't the case for Sabres.That would be overpaying the guy quite a lot.

Didn't he have a serious concussion a few years back (4 or 5 years ago)?

Half season in 10/11. I'd think those issues are pretty "clear" after that long

I'm happy. Maybe a goalie. If a defenseman is available I do it.

No ... We need more

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

They could increase the cap by the state percentage tax. So Fla would be at the cap, all NY teams would be 1.06x the cap. If the owner is willing to spend, that would make that all equal.
- SDSabre

But not doing that gives good players incentive to sign in Florida which I think is a market the NHL is trying to succeed in. So while I agree with you, I'm just not sure the brass wants this to happen.

So, no idea if this means anything, butt Vesey is listed on the Sabres website.

They can offer him the best chance to win. It's why Stamkos just turned down big money.

Demers still available?

I love what Mike Harrington said about Montreal signing Radulov


"They've lost their minds. #Sabres have to love Atlantic rivals imploding from within."

Who is Butt Vesey? Is he related to the skunk?

I'll tell you something history was not on my side when Murray drafted a Russian


So (frank) history ... Murray will break that also

Wow !

Nope...Asplund and Nylander are as well and they aren't signed either!

- Phatjohnsn

O it won't. Was just throwing out an idea to make all things equal. But we live in a world where they are not.

Demers still available?

Rumor was Oilers had it locked up, but haven't heard anything yet.

They're listing all minor league/unsigned property right there. That's a weird page.

I think Dreger said he wasn't going there anymore. I'd be all for signing him.

Alrighty. We'll talk about this in what, a week? Over-Under is set at 2.5?

I don't understand why this is such a catastrophe. It's a one year deal. There's very little risk to it.
