Russell and Kulikov are bad deals
- SABRES 89

Yep. Russel's contract is structured as such to make him very tradeable in yrs 3 and 4

And a team with an internal cap spending that much on an unknown quantity? Puzzling. There's almost no way his play could make that deal look great

chevy must have felt he'd pair well with oil rig

its also possible he couldnt convince anyone else to sign and kulikov would only go for a massive overpayment

Bruins weren't to happy we got Scandella, they were pushing hard for him. Shattenkirk still doesn't get the Rangers a cup if it the signing does really happen like Kevin Weeks said
- SABRES 89



Suck it Bruins!
Hahaha

I'm very glad we aren't in on Shatty
Scandella is a decent skater & puck mover
And although he won't even sniff the point total Shattenkirk would,
He is MUCH better in his own end

Yeah but I guarantee at some point in their respective contracts he will at least match his point totals,at half the cost. Arrows pointing in opposite directions.

I think the Johnson contract is a little high but it's only one year so it doesn't matter

They'd have to clear cap space, I think. They're trying to figure out how to pay Pasta.

Eichel & company will eat him up for years
And at 7mil, it'll eat a big chunk of Cap

- chilliard77


my guess would be he had 2 year offers out there and this was the best way to get him on just a 1 year deal.

Agree
Next year, Ullmark will have to pass waivers to be sent down
So I'm expecting he'll be our backup for 18-19
