With Ullmark and MAF the cap hit would be close to 10 mil. Who would be number1

I probably wouldnt double hate him without the off ice bs.

Definitely still hate him as a player.

Vegas trades Nate Schmidt to the Vancouver Canucks for a 3rd round draft pick in 2022.

I think that's a sign of how little we would be getting back for Miller or Montour.

Not entirely as Vegas was and still is in cap hell.

When the guy is overpaid and it jumps to 8.5 million you get him for a song.

Vegas was more over a barrel than we are.

Vegas was over the cap.

We just have to tolerate Monte playing his off side. Lol

He has like 4 or 5 years left on his contract and the owners are going to be paying him more than he is worth. Not sure if there is a correlation.

That's true, if there isn't any $ coming back. It's also a strong indicator that dumping Hutton will be very hard.

Miller was never going to get much anyway the Sabres paid a 2nd and what a 5th? In this market who knows but Montour and his one year 3.8+ mil contract really doesn't equate to Nate Schmidt and his big bucks and long one.

Disagree, with Everyone knowing LV was cap fckd getting a 3rd for a 5.9m cap hit is good by LV and helping out a division foe is questionable by Van

Maybe this is a good sign for Buffalo that they can trade a RHD

Trade miller for a 3rd
Trade Hutton for a 7th
Trade Mittelstadt for kuemper


We go into the season with a cap of around 77m. Not exactly internal cap range but safely below the 81 cap

Playoff team!!

I think it boils down to the basic fact that moving $ out is very hard right now.
