Anyone have interest in Vermette? I'd sign him for a year or two if Vesey walked. Thoughts? Girgs flips to LW, that way Larsson Foligno Gio can still be 4th line...

Edit: I see I was beaten to this punch. Back to lurking.

Yea I have both jax , Oakland killing us

Jax will be a good game but oak will kill us

The Vermette buyout is an analytics move. But the Coyotes could use some center depth big time.

I am fine with him as 3rd line center

can play on second pp unit and second pk unit

the yotes are rising, have to wonder why they bought him out though as he was making under 4 per

I wouldnt hate it but i bet he goes somewhere he can win. Dirt cheap deal back to Chicago maybe

The only NHL centers they have are Martin "Glass bones & paper skin" Hanzal, and Dylan Strome (who's never played an nhl game).

That makes total sense, cause hey are way under the cap.... youd think they would have been able to find a trade partner first

I would not be shocked if the bills are 12-4 this year

I would also not be shocked if they are 4-12

Thats a lot to ask for a kid to take one his 1st nhl game

Christian Dvorak might make the team.

They will probably add a guy who will be just as effective as Vermette is now

I wonder if we take a chance, Murray may (or may not) like him from Ottawa days.

Start the Gus , Ennis roooomers to the yotes

Told Sam Gagner's deal with #CBJ - likely to be made official today - is one-year, $650,000.

Wow
That's really cheap
Must have been no interest for him
Weird though, he's a decent player
Surprised that he couldn't find a better team if he was willing to take that deal

For OEL!!!
Hahaha

If we miss out on Vesey,
I guess I'd be ok with him on a 1 year deal
Don't want him here taking a roster spot from Nylander & Bailey next year

Good depth guy. With the league becoming a 3 scoring line league, guys like him who aren't good enough to be a bona fide top 6 guy, but aren't defensively savvy, should still have roles

imo id do a cheap 1 year deal regardless of vessey

Make a lineup with both guys in it though

I agree
And he can play the wing too
He's good enough to be a complementary player in someone's top9
Kinda surprised Philly didn't want him back
He was decent for them I believe

I would also not be shocked if they are 4-12

This sums up all of Buffalo sports perfectly.

my line would have Ennis gone.

I figure enter vermete in as my wife would say Dave Wigwhoms old place on the 4th

IM more of a do i have a spot for HUd and Bailey
