Thread: Offersheet Domi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Here is the thing though almost no one is going to sign longer than 3 or 4 years because of the flat cap. They will want to get their big payday once the cap starts to rise again. But let's just say for arguments sake he signs 8 years × 6 Mil as a sign and trade</div></div>

Yeah I'd do that but the majority of Sabres fans wouldn't, I'm a believer in term and maximizing the return on that 1st round pick that was invested in acquiring that player, if Domi was only willing to sign a 5 year deal I'd pass.

So yeah these guys can wait for the cap to rise but a guy like Domi would be a ****in idiot to pass up $48M if someone offers it to him, some of these guys depending on their ages would be far better off to sign a secure deal now then taking their chances on the cap going up, a lot could happen in the next few years, a guy could get seriously injured or the market could change for what guys are getting at certain ages, obviously it's different for every player though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div>I’d put Cozens in the lineup at 3C,
and not sign Granlund
Not a big fan of his, and we need that $$$ to go towards defense
Just can’t have that big of a potential hole with a 2021 1st on the line
If we miss the playoffs &amp; that becomes a top3 pick... yikes

I do like the Domi idea,
but let’s make sure we get in the playoffs next year so we aren’t kicking ourselves about that pick</div></div>

Thanks for commenting!

I do think Cozens should be eased in at 3C or 3RW with capable linemates but am hopeful that Thompson hits his stride and am very against rushing Cozens so I left him off this lineup.

I think Granlund will rebound if he gets out of Nashville but to each their own, I think he could be a great addition to the Sabres and really think they need a 2C and a top 6 winger so that's who I went with for this post, he does come with risk though.

The whole point of this was to make the playoffs and still have cap space for Dahlin/Jokiharju extensions/bridge deals so hopefully the 2021 pick isn't a top 3 pick.. Lol

Its tough to do anything with all the cap space Skinner and Okposo are taking up, hopefully the new Sabres GM has a good offseason.
