I don't think I even hit a shot as far right as Spieth did.

I'm also aboard the Markov train. I know he's a LHD but did he play the right side at all in Montreal ? Thats the only way I can see that signing making any sense from our perspective as well as moving bogo

Scandella- Risto
McCabe- Markov
Beaulieu-Antipin

- Pegullaville


Like it - is the lw vs rw for each guy correct? Thinking this wouldn't make Beaulieu very happy, though McCabe might be pushed down to the 3rd pair

The thing is though with RFA's the organizations have leverage. With his play this year Kane will dictate what he'll earn in the open market in which Buffalo will have much less leverage then say Nashville did when negotiating with Arvidsson
- Pegullaville

In Arvidsson and Tatar, sure. Not in Oshie's and he's coming off two better years, and signed for less than 6 per.

He was paired with Jeff Petry this year, who's a righty, so I'm not sure he plays the right side (Markov)

Trying to figure out the D line-up if Markov joins
Where do you guys slot these players?

Scandella- Risto
Markov - Antipin
McCabe / Beaulieu - Bogo

Edit: didn't see the other post. This represents their shotting side, except for Antipin who plays right mostly

I cringed at first at the lame attempt at nostalgia having John Lennon's son on this song, but it's actually really good

For the legion fans I was 30 mins into the first episode last night and it's pretty cringe worthy sh!t ..

Does it do a twist ? If not I'm not watching this drug rehab mental institution bs

What's the downside of burying players like Moulson or Gorges in Rochester?

I think the additional ice time would come out of risto's. Seeing as no high end guy was available they've opted for adding as many puck movers with upside as they can.

Kinda like having 3 competent 2nd pairings instead of a first second and third.

Patch continues the firehouse of quality.

I'm excited for the upgrades already made on the blue line and think we are only a sniper away from being GOOD - scary good.

4.65 mil for 4 years
- chilliard77


He's getting $6M that's what he makes now and has for the last 3 years. He's not taking a pay cut.

I guess we'll have an expensive press box. I think they would be useful down there but I don't know enough about 2 way contracts or the waiving process to know if it would work.

I don't know anything about Comic books or the movies that follow them, haven't been to the movies since nam' so half the time I'm confused on this thread. Maybe it's all the smoke in this room.

I want speed and would want to try to get Nylander on the roster opening night and sheltered with those vets while getting top 6 minutes. If it doesn't work out send him down and shift the wingers up a line and fill the 4th line with Moulson or Fasching.


Kane Eichel Reinhart

Nylander ROR Okposo

Bailey Josefson Girgensons

Pouliot Larsson Pominville


Scandella Risto

McCabe Beaulieu

Antipin Bogo

Lehner
Johnson

Could be fun to watch

The difference between Tatar, Oshie and Arvidsson is they all got hefty raises.

Kane isn't taking a pay cut.

Arvidsson really needs to fire his agent though, seriously lol
- chilliard77


I'd say a good deal for him, only had one good season in the NHL might fall off a cliff next year.

While that's true, it's an awfully illogical way of justifying overpaying someone.

Better players are making less

if the Markov rumor is huge, it would appear it's playoffs or bust
- homiedclown



What are these Markov rumors?
And where does he fit in?

Getting rid of Bogosian somehow?
