Mathieu Perreault has signed a one-year contract with Montreal worth $950,000.
Perreault has spent the past seven seasons with the Winnipeg Jets. In 56 games last year, he supplied nine goals, 19 points, 57 shots and 84 hits.

We could have grabbed him, that's not bad

You are acting like these players would sign here. Why would they?

Here's a question for all you cap gurus.

If the Sabres start the year just above the cap floor, and LTIR the Jackhole, and they go under the floor, are they penalized?

- Powerslave


You don’t just randomly put a guy on LTIR in the situation you’re talking about
There’s no reason for the Sabres to do so like you’re talking about
It’s a non-issue

Adams will let him rot until he get's a deal he wants but Eichel can't be on this team next year, can't have the distraction every game. Next season will be hard enough.
- SABRES 89


We’re gonna suck anyways
Idc about the “distraction”
I care about getting a good return
If that means Eichel plays here this year, then fine

From what I hear the Sabres already now about it and are trying to keep it under raps. Kinda hard with all the social media nowadays.
- Buff36


Why are the Sabres trying to keep it under wraps?

Wouldn't they want it out there that Eichel is healthy and ready to go?

I mean, why wouldn't they want that out there...? 🤔🤔😬😬

I don't know, maybe they want to be in control of this situation and he's going against what he has been told to do for therapy.

Or maybe his injury wasn't as bad as it was made out and he's now healthy again and showing it?

Wouldn't the Sabres want it out there that he's healthy? Isn't his health the reason for the poopty offers, or is there another reason for the poopty offers...?

Well if he is healthy and the Sabres now about it I would think that would be out there because it would help with his trade. Last thing that I heard is that he was still doing therapy and not approved for surgery. As to if there is another reason I don't know, but seeing what was posted and the things he is doing maybe there is something else or he has been holding back information.

I'm not convinced the lackluster offers have been due to Eichel's supposed injury.

I think it's a combination of other factors.

- Gr8daygo



All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know?
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

Pysyk - https://www.naturalstattr...te=n&v=t&playerid=8475796

He makes just about every skater he players with significantly more effective on the ice.

Butcher - https://www.naturalstattr...te=n&v=t&playerid=8477355

Much more situational, need to find the right guy to sit with him. Basically, whoever is less effective with Dahlin.

All I know is with this deal and the Jones deal, Dougie Hamilton has a terrible agent. I'd take him over both of them and he got the least money.
- Wetbandit1


I am still shocked that Hamilton signed with the devils, really helps the D

Sure the contract may look bad in last few years but that's the price it takes to get a top guy the devil's badly needed. And subban is off the books at the end of this season

Fitz has really had a very good off-season so far, he had a couple reaches in the draft though

2nd for Graves was a very good deal
Signed bernier to be a back up and that's a very good back up with blackwood
And Hamilton
If he is able to trade for a top 6 forward he would have an incredible off-season

Hamilton graves
Severson smith
Siegenthaler subban

Much better than what the devil's have had on D for years

Like folks have stated on here previously, herniated discs treat people differently. Just because Jack is able to skate and play shinny doesn't really mean the thing is healed.

Just like Eric Wood's neck, it would be dangerous for him to go through an 82 game season and ideally the playoffs without fixing the disc. But a pick up game is clearly fine.

I don't understand the outrage here.

I think it's the optics.

And it's just one more thing in the ongoing saga of one, John Robert [email protected] mean, Eichel.

Isn't that 200K above our current maximum contract for FA's?
