Reaves is probably overpaid now at $2,775,000 and he'll turn 34 halfway through next season. Three-point-two-million dollars seems like a lot of money to pay a fourth-line free agent.

I think that it's overly optimistic to plan for the cap going up $3 million. I think everyone should budget for $2 million and be pleasantly surprised by anything higher.

Overpayment on trade . Risto straight up should get it dine . Casey has also been getting much better in Rochester . No doubt he is with the Sabres next year

Ristolainen by himself isn’t nearly enough to get Trocheck. Cats don’t need nor want him. The want a top pair LHD. Next...

Then why trade him ? McCabe and Middlestadt then but this overpaying sunk us. It is why we are still in the whole we are in . Tim Murray is that you ?

No thanks
