I just think it's funny that Cozens is not a problem at $7+ but PLD somehow wouldn't be worth $4.25

I just think its funny that you think he'd cost 4.25

Takes lead in 3rd period of game 7... puts out the 4th line. Game tied a minute later.

That's the whole premise of this discussion: would you take him if the Kings retained half ($4.25m)

Ignoring yet again that his cost would be $8.75M per for the first 3 seasons due to retaining half on Skinner.

Is he good value at nearly $9M?

You already know the answer.

I'm not ignoring that at all. I was the one who brought it up

Yes, but he would still cost less than Skinner and he plays a premier position

he sucks monkey dongs.

If there is any chance that Chicago writer's deal is accurate, the Sabres should take it and run.

Do we know categorically that Cozens is a better 2C (emphasis on C) than PLD. Putting the Dubois douchiness aside for a second
- Hank Balling

yes. hard yes.

But not very well... At least Cozens has the attitude to get better. PLD does not give a fvck. Why the fvck would you want a guy like that on your team. I've played with them, they're horrible and they piss off everyone on the team.

Well, at that retention rate, he isn't expensive. You're hoping Lindy can exhort more effort basically. I wouldn't hate it, wouldn't be overjoyed, would be a little nervous...so I get where you're coming from. There's little to no chance that 50% retention happens so it's nonsense anyways. Just making conversation.

i like conversation, but not about cancer

Guy couldn't stop buying his ex-girlfriends gifts. Donnie the cuck.
- DirtyDan

whats all this

The Sabres are always the team that says "this guy is a problem, get rid of him" and then they sell low to a team that maximizes the potential of that player. It would be nice to be on the other end of that for once. Is PLD that guy, I don't know, but at some point you have to move past vibes signings and try to create some value contracts.

Donnie giving his ex players anything they need/want. Like a cuck that cant get over their ex.

If only you had this contempt for the Sabres ownership and GM, who are significantly worse at their roles than PLD.

PLD is giving some people on here Trump derangement syndrome.

I have big TDS for Terry, Kevyn and Pierre. The only difference is, I'm stuck with the former two.

I will burn that Roof of if Girgensons name is on the Roster this coming Year!

$250K less.

Big deal.

Well to paraphrase what you said to me, you're ignoring the next 5 years where you could have a 2C for $4 and change, and that *is* a big deal

- Hank Balling

There's a 50/50 chance based on his history that PLD could be on 2 more teams before his current deal is over, and that would be after the Sabres trade for him.

Pretty huge deal there, eh?

- DirtyDan

not sure i see it like that. I think every coach occasionally over-utilizes his players at some point. But you also need to remember, they also needed to roll out the likes of Colin Robinson, the corpse of Kyle Okposo, Void Olofsson, Waiver Jost and the Locomotive.

Thanks Kevyn.
