I will wait to see what the return is, there is NO way that you just take that contract without some kind of compensation.

I think they purposefully buried it behind the Miller announcement.

I was listening to S&BD and it's finally dawning on Bulldog that this team will not be spending any money this year.

You do when your goal seems to be just to hit the salary cap.

again, I will wait to see what happens this summer. If they still come out of the summer with a starting goalie and RHD and maybe a another scoring winger, then I could care less about the bishop trade.

Pretty hard to tell 'em to offer something up when they know we need the cap....

89 or 10 should have been retired first
- homiedclown



Eff 89.

Dude only had four seasons worth a damn here (30+ goals) and one was a true outlier.

If anything, Ramsay, Schoenfeld, Andreychuk, Pominville, Vanek, Foligno and that slug, Satan, all deserve their numbers to be retired if Mogilny does.

Seen a lot of mocks with Cutter going 6 to Columbus. Most have been posted in the last week or so.

Looks like Nazar will be there for us.

Nothing is certain tho

King Clancy P.K. is exactly the kind of character guy Adams wants. How do you get him? Give his brother a job. Malcolm is cheap, it gives UPL every chance in the world to play 55 games, and Malcolm seems like a good team guy as well. From there, the only job is to re-sign their own and it's off to the cottage for August.

Houser and Tokarski are in Roch

Maybe.
Although if you are planning to cut your costs this season, then taking on a $4.9m Cap hit, but only paying out in cash $1.95m (60% of $3.5m), that is very smart.

- hehateme


Why, if you intend to sign the following, would you make the Bishop trade -
- starting G, $3m to $6m
- 2RhD, $4.5m+
- scoring winger, at $4m+

Doesn't make sense since those moves combined with other roster signings get you over the Cap Floor and about $20m short of the Cap Ceiling. There would be no senseahle reason to do so.

Sabres are signaling they are a Cap Floor team.
