I can see the sabres taking back cap (short term) to help facilitate, but there is no way the sabres retain. I think our owners are really starting to hate paying people to not work for them, plus i dont wanna ruin it in a couple years when its time to pay skinner to not work for them anymore.
Its an exremely bad idea, imagine the optics- you pay eichel 5 million dollars a year to score 100 points on a playoff team while you lose a few lotteries and pick 8th every year (no danger of that this year, seattle probably laps us if we get all futures for eichel and reinhart, which is definitely the best way to go).
