That's probably close to what JVR will get on the open market. We've been speculating in the TO thread he'll probably get something between 6 and 7.

He's a good player. I'd love to keep him, but not sure how we'd be able to manage that once we need to give raises to Matthews and Marner in 2 years.

- Thecakeisalie


Not trying to sound like an ass but I would let him go

Like you said you have Matthews and marner ( Who is just an absolute beast ) and nylander just a really young Awesome core

Yes I want us to sign JVR but We don’t have the young guns like you guys

I think it would be unwise for cleveland, the giants, the broncos, and the jets to not take a qb if one of the 4 is still there. I think the colts pick is where we need to get to.
- TheHank



Depend on if they go QB at 1.

They could go Barkley or Chubb thus causing the NYG and/or Colts having bidding wars for 2 and 3.

I still think it's smart to go Barkley at 1 and hope for Allen to be there at 4.

I'm still of the opinion the Bills need to get to 2 in order to get their guy.

If he retires then i really dont see a need to buy out bogo. We dont need the cap space next year. Wouldnt surprise me if someone takes moulson off our hands, his salary next year is 3M, retain half and it would only cost a team 1.5M and count 5M against their cap.
- TheHank


Seems strange to mention retirement. It doesn't happen with those kind of $ and term remaining.

Bogo's injury prevents a buyout this year. Odds are Moulson does get bought out. Easiest way for everyone involved to move on.

I didnt mention him retiring, i just replied to his comment about it. After two consecutive concussions and a new baby at home, who really knows?

Banging Paulina Gretzky and has a kid with her. What crazy genes that kid has.

Remember when Reggie Bush would've went #1 except he couldn't agree to a contract with the Texans so they drafted Mario instead? Bush looked superhuman in college and the most meh player in the NFL.

Drafting a RB #1 is not smart. especially when you need a QB desperately.

I’m sure the Leafs will take 7 3rd period penalties so we can tie this baby up

Depending on who they want, they might have to get to 1 really. My thought is that nyg are going to draft a qb. I think the colts are the best realistic target to trade with. We will find out.

Yeah, I don't really disagree with you. I really don't see how we can keep him. Good player though. Having a really nice year right before hitting free agency, so he's gonna get a nice fat contract from someone most likely.

Ive always had the belief that rb is the most plug and play position in football. I was sick when we took mcgahee, lynch, and spiller in the first round year after year.

If you retain half his salary(1.5), then the cap hit for the new team would be $3.5 mil.

If Kadri gets any ice time it might happen. What the (frank) was he thinking? Just got out of the box about 5 seconds earlier and then he takes a really obvious penalty. I like Kadri, but that was just dumb.

Thats right. My bad. Even easier to find a taker maybe then?

If barkley is there at 2, that's who the NYG are taking. If he's not, they're moving back because you can't justify taking a Guard at 2.

I know you didn't. Getting away from those 3 deals so easily and spending the money is fun to talk about, but completely unrealistic. Your post was just conveniently there to respond to.

They're giving Eli one more run.

Barkley is the player that helps him the most at #2

A caution of why you don't just hand out bigger contracts to players that don't deserve it.

If I were in Okposo's shoes, I'd be thinking long and hard.

Almost lost an eye and now back to back season ending injuries to the bean.

Maybe Elliott had been reading garth. sabres always have our number but reading Garth makes me say ridiculous things about the sabres.

But seriously, why do they suck do badly? I only see them against the leafs and they earn their wins for sure.
