Exactly, think we have seen that throughout the year. If he hits FA how about Gavrikov ?
- Buff36

Looks like it's getting done unfortunately. Back in March he declined an extension, but rumor has it they're pretty close now. I didn't watch but my Kings buddy said he played really well for them after the trade, so it isn't surprising they want to keep him...

If they fail, he's exactly who we should be trying for. As Taco said, he can't lug the puck, but we have other guys for that.

He's good at entry denial but terrible at carrying the puck out.

He just needs to get it to Power... nvm 36 beat me to it again

Agree on Power

Jamie Benn:

"I would have liked to not fall on him and use my stick as a landing point." -- Benn on what he would have liked to do different in that situation.“

Shoulda landed on him harder. F Stone. F Vegas. Go Rats

Says the guy who’s be first in line complaining if this happened to a Sabres player.

It was dirty and he should be suspended for 20 games.

Okposo 1 year, $2.5

Whelp, good for him

No surprise here. Hopefully get a chance to talk to him tomorrow

That’s fine. Part time player. Part time coach.

Dahlin and power are next when the time comes

Oh. That’s awful.

Good dude good person but I’d rather not have that.

Because they don’t win games here.

If the Sabres don’t take a step and make the playoffs, this awesome locker room culture will start to erode and fast
- sbroads24

You're obviously a huge Sabres fan.

Guys like tage and cozens signing long term key deals for the center position is progress. This is different.
Opposite of briere/drury
Eichel/ reinhart

Hopefully dahlin and power take long extensions.

Again, why bring in guys who dont want to play here?

Oh. That’s awful.
- ImThatGuy

Money is irrelevant for one year. Doesn't affect this team what so ever

Oh. That’s awful.

its a 1 year deal and they were never gunna spend all that cap in one year

Money is irrelevant it’s the roster spot for a team that can’t figure out how to properly use its forward core currently.

Adding Kulich, Savoie, and others, potentially to the mix complicates that even more

That's double the projection of $1.2M for one season, based on comparable contracts.

apparently I’m a troll

Someone around here mentioned 1 year at 2.5 million 🙋‍♂️

Lots of people doubted the suggestion and thought he would get league minimum.

Now offer girgs an 8 year 2 5 per year and round off the month of may.

If the money is irrelevant, why haven't we been taking on cap dumps to get picks along the way here? Seems like money has mattered along the way and yet we're giving KO multiple times the vet min salary he deserves. This isn't some dire situation, agreed, but it does seem really odd to me personally. I was expecting 1y/1m.

He will not prevent any prospects from rightfully making the team either. None of those guys play his role.

I disagree completely he is your captain next year now that he’s back and they aren’t gonna bench the captain
Add- Rousek can.

Rousek and Murray maybe.

Now let's see how many years Gus gets. I'll say 3/$10

I tried to tell you that not only will he sign, but the mutual respect is very high. Just like Craig they're paying for leadership.

Rousek and Murray maybe.

FA. I think they gave okposo the extra dough to avoid giving him an extra year.

Notice how distraught I am about Brett Murray not getting play time

If he earns it, he'll play. He got zero call ups this year.
