Is this the same Jesper Fast that has a career high of 13 goals? Or 33 points? HE got $2 million? 😂😂😂

Larsson is a bum who got used to losing and he was here for 7 years too long.

And I'm not sticking up for the Girgensons signing.

If all you look at is goals and points, then you and I will have difficulty having a meaningful conversation when it comes to player analysis.

It would be priceless if Montour opted not to sign his qualifying offer.

Regarding Brandon Montour's decision not to file for arbitration:
*He can opt to sign his $3.525 million qualifying offer. It will expire at 5 p.m. Oct. 18, unless the Sabres extend the deadline.
*He and the team can negotiate a different deal.
*He can sign an offer sheet.

Go on. Explain to me the eliteness of Johan Larsson. Are you basing it on one good year? Because Eakin also had at least one good year.

They won 30% of the games Larsson played in. Time for him to fly.

I've said it before, he's no Guy Carbonneau. In fact, he signed in Arizona for $1.4 million, so it's highly unlikely teams were knocking down his door.

Eakin is our new 3rd line Center, folks will like him, I seen him play when I went to a few Knights games, good team player.

He knows his qualifying offer would probably be higher than any arbitration award

Sam Reinhart, Victor Olofsson and Linus Ullmark have filed for arbitration. Brandon Montour did not.

- GilPerreault11



Holy (frank)...that does it for the rest of the offseaso .
Arbitrators only look at comparables, not the economic state we are in.

Sam. $7.00 / $7.50
Olofsson $4.0sh
Ullmark $2.75 / $3.0

Add in Monte at say $3.75 - $4.0

My guess is $17.75 - $18.5
Cap Friendly has them at $56.0 w Eakin.
Estimated at $73.75m to $74.5m

Go home everybody...offseason is over except for a possible trade or 2.

They were prepared for Reinhart at 7 mill, that's the going rate.

Who is saying Larsson is elite?

Is Girgensons elite?

They won 30% of the games Girgensons played in. It wasn't time for him to fly?

Eakin has a negative overall impact for his team when he is on the ice.

Larsson does not.

If they would've brought Larsson back, not extended Girgensons, and not signed Eakin, they'd be ahead right now.

It's ok, everyone's opinion is different. I don't like Giregensons but others do, I do want to see him with Lazar and Rieder.

Until Cozens takes it over 15 - 20 games in.
Unless the Soccer guy likes having his Striker play Middie

Cozens won't, they will take " better care "of him as they didn't with Mitts.

Well they need to move a blue liner or two

They need a goalie

They need a top 6 RW

While they be able to? That is the question.

True words have not been spoken today.
4.5 stars
5.0 stars if you added Larsson is worth $1.4 and could have saved $3.1m to be used on say a 3rd line RW...maybe like..oh, say Dominik Kahun

Mitts is no Cozens, that I can promise you.
