So you like the player but don’t think Buffalo will be in the running?

Curious how you're getting to the math above when Varlamov makes $5M and Bishop makes $4.9M.

At $12m space now
Trade Varly = additional $5m space created
Add $4.9m Relief from Bishop's contract
Total $21.9m

Marchment a good player (finally), a product of his team or did he turn it on in his contract year?

Sabres are shopping for the best discount double check players analytics can buy

Garbage picking 2.0… the next wave of Pysyk, hinostroza, anderson coming on Friday

And to be fair. I didn’t hate our trash. Just probly John Hayden. That guy was awful

Which part?

If the Bishop contract implications, I'm basing it on the understanding I gained last week; the acquiring team would need to fit a contract in whole on their roster, then if they go over, they can LTIR that contract and get relief upto the contract value. There maybe some timing issues that I did not adequately consider for sure...I do find it confusing, so I could be dead wrong.

If the Hawks were to accept this.. I feel like the Sabres offer would be

Myers has that weird contract to I believe, Tampa actually saves money this year if they buy him out.

kinda wish the Sabres woulda done this. Cut two years off that contract and it'd be great.

That is the $7.5m question.
At his 26 birthday, he had played 37 NHL games producing 11 pts.
Now, 1 year later on an absolutely stacked team and 2 very good linemates playing 14:00 ATOI, he produced at .85ppg.

My thoughts are the Sabres can afford him, and he plays a style they need...I just wouldn't expect that level of production. On the other hand, he showed he can produce with higher-end talent. If you can live with $2.5m and getting say 25 -35 pts then great..if he goes over it's gravy.

He would be a great fit here too with versatility of playing the middle and wing.

If he's looking for 6 a year it's a no. Pretty much going top have the same team as last year but if a player like Copp comes along and the price fits, you never know.
