So sad to see a non-playoff team over the cap.

freakin vesey won't play L1 lol and Johansson was acquired for top6.

who thinks Eichel is regretting the long term deal he signed now.

21 million come off the books next year... I think we will survive.

Vesey should not be on line one, i figured johansson for middle 6. Im used to seeing forwards juggled, nothing would shock me for a game or two. Hoping pilut takes over for scandella sooner than later and is paired up with ristolainen on the 2/3 pair. Pilut looks like a nice find and the fact that he played pretty well with ristolainen makes him more valuable.

Shavers are over of the hardest teams top guess the upcoming stay off the year lineup because we have like 4-5 players who can play for us on the AHL... and we have a lot of bad starters from last year. Will be interesting to see the starting lineup.

also have players expecting raises next year

Mitts and Reinhart are the only key players that will need a raise, maybe Erod to. Reinhart will get a hefty contract and they'll likely bridge Mitts. They can also begin negotiating with Dahlin (who will get a monster deal). The'll likely let dead weight walk including players like: Sobotka (although he should be gone by this upcoming season), Girgensons, Larsson, Wilson, Bogo, Scandella and Hunwick.

It'll be interesting to see what the do with Vesey and Sheary...could see scenarios were the walk in free agency or the Sabres bring hem back depending how they perform.

They Sabres actually have a phenomenal Cap situation set up after this year...tons of flexibility available to them.

Yeah its not bad now but once u get contending again im sure it will sticky.. Skinner contract is exhibit A that may get baddd

it will likely be bad in the last 2-3 years of the deal. No different then any other ufa deal. I'm fine with it now because they have the room and any time you can sign a 40 goal scorer you tend to do it.

Yeah but I doubt hes scoring 40 again, my personal thoughts

Good players
