Why play Powers? If they do burns the 1st year of his entry level contract. If the sabres are in a playoff race? Yes if not no.

Now that is a valid point!

Someone mentioned 2C skinner too! That could be fun!

Top line Tage - 1c
2c Skinner
3c Pysyk
4c … I forget…

Do you think Power plays this year for the Sabres?

Yup, Michigan rolls through the Frozen Four and wins the National Championship.

Last game is April 10th of the Frozen 4. He leaves after they win and plays a few games. Get's him under contract and locked up ready to go.

I don't think so. If he plays a few games, then it doesn't count against ELC. I may be wrong.

It does, but it doesn't

It happened with Mitts

It counts against a year of his ELC, but doesn't change his RFA years

Doesn't work that way with NCAA players

Only players going back to juniors

Only reason I remember because I had this same argument with Mitts and I was wrong because I thought it was the same.

Just because you know a lot of guys doesn't mean its not true. Just look at the truck driving trade. I work in the wine industry in California and truck drivers are a premium. Just look at the port of LA. 100 ships just sitting. We are in bad shape.

I can attest to this. I work in management in the trucking industry, and the shortage is very real. No one wants to do these jobs anymore, yet they pay very, very well and, in my company's case, the benefits package is second to none for the union employees.
