Escrow Paid off - salary cap increase and Kane comes to buff cuz its fun here

Created by: Ihopeigetit

Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 21, 2022

Published: Oct. 21, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

- Kulich next year in and out like Quinn this season
- Not sure how Okposo makes the team next year tbh.. Would rather throw Okposos money at Kane if it means he comes to buff
- wasn't sure about the olo trade but he seems to be the odd man out. Martinez cap dump helps us get more picks? idk,
- this isn't saying I dont like Bryson, just adds depth in case of injury and we can afford to take Martinez cap dump (but also cup champ) as D depth - which is never bad to have as we make a playoff run next year

It will probably cost at least 8 to get Kane

I'd keep olofsson and the retention spot. Pretty weak return. A d that we don't need, a second and a third for a 50% retained olofsson. I would keep him and never think twice.

Martinez doesn't waive for Buffalo.

And Patrick Kane is getting a hell of a lot more than 3 x $7,000,000 on his next deal.

Patrick Kane will get at least 3-4 years @ $8,000,000 per on the open market.

I don’t like that Kane extension. Seems like a lot. Not a fan of signing guys over 32-33 for $7 mil plus for multiple years.

Most likely, but I feel like this is just a Giroux comp deal. Although Kane would be awesome I'll have to see if it would be worth it depending on how this season goes

About the same value as Girouxs

I know, just those contracts worry me in general. Prefer to sign a guy at 27-28 till their 34-35 and then something smaller or less years then. Rangers don’t have great luck with those deals, so I’m wary of them (thinking of Boyle, Redden, Holik, Gomez, Richards, Staal, Girardi, Shattenkirk, Smith).

Wow what a roster, quietly designed a contender roster, Kane and Quinn goal scorer and play maker centred by elite Cozens. Tuch Thompson deadly duo, Peterka Krebs Savoie the young kid line, Mittelsdat is skilled 4C with Vinny, Dahlin the generational defenceman goal scorer and skilled, Power the franchise defenceman, Martinez Joki pairing for bottom. Get a goalie and compete

Buffalo can afford $1 million more.
