This.

If you really want a player that is an RFA, you will need to offer above, often well above, market value. Otherwise, you're simply doing another team's negotiating for them.

Henceforth, teams trade for RFAs instead of OS them.

Koepka is making this course look like a Par 3.

Eldrick struggling to make the cut.

“The New York Rangers recently sought permission from our organization to speak with John Davidson about serving as their team president,” Columbus president Mike Priest said in a statement. “That permission was granted and today John has resigned his position as the president of hockey operations and alternate governor with the Columbus Blue Jackets.”

File this under "news that I don't care about" but I thought i'd bring it here anyways.

Koepka has his foot down. Seems like his goal isn't to just win, but to lap the field in doing so. Is he going to go bogey free for 72 holes?

I wonder if any of the other players on tour want Brandel Chamblee to come after them next.

Saw some post on Bills fanatics about Pete Prisco picking the Bills to win the division in 2020. So after this year.

The host was shocked.

Let that sink in. It was shocking to say we *could* win the division two seasons from now.

Our standards are so low

Yeah, never thought that was going to happen anyways.
He could be another 2 or 3 better right now. Making it look easy just missing putts.

To be fair, Tom Brady. As long as that mother(frank)er is around we ain't winning the division.

I would laugh my balls off if Tiger missed the cut. He's only one shot away with 8 to go.

Vegas has 5M in cap space (includes LTIR of Clarkson)

Need to sign:

3 RFA forwards, including Wild Bill
1 defenseman
1 rfa backup goalie

Karlsson is projected at around 6-6.5M

Most of their 4th line needs to be settled out somehow.

There's no way the escape the off season without a trade. Bill Karlsson would be a wonderful snag for 2C, and if you can send Risto + for Colin Miller, I think you're in the black.

- TheSabresTaco


❤️❤️❤️ Karlsson

If we are gonna go the 3 deep at Center route,
one of them MUST be a good 2WAY player
That’s why he’s a great fit over a guy like Duchene
Especially in Kruger’s system where he asks the Center to play a role down low in his own end

Take advantage of Vegas’ cap issues
Let them even send us a salary or 2 with him to drive the price down

I didn't think he'd go bogey, bogey, bogey right after I said that though, Christ.
