Thread: What to do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>Schaller and Leivo at 3 is better than Reaves at 2.75... no? 2 players for the price of one basically.

Will admit, no idea who Gusev is and he hardly played last year so I didn't bother signing him.

I made some changes tho.</div></div>

They got Gusev's rights from Tampa in the expansion draft and signed him during the playoffs once his KHL season was over, Idk what numbers he put up in the playoffs, can't even remember if he played or not but I'd like to give him a chance to prove himself. Assuming he translates his game well from KHL to NHL, he is a top 6 winger, maybe even better. He tore up the KHL (<a href="http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=133881" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=133881</a>)

So with regards to your exercise, I would think Vegas wants to bring him back, putting more strain on the cap situation

Thread: LA Firesale-Quick Martinez Kovalchuk Toffoli
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>The value is fine, not really interested though. the sabres can swap out ullmark and hutton with another cost effective average goalie and im happy. I dont want to overpay a goalie on principle, but this particular sabres team especially needs to be using assets to acquire players to play in front of their goalies. And the guy the sabres seem to have pegged for goalie of the future is playing in the ahl this year (upl or ukka pekka luukkonen). Would be a pretty bad waste of resources by buffalo.</div></div>

Yea, that's a fair assessment. I think Samulesson could be a steady dman for them down the road and you'd get a solid prospect with the first.

I really like Luukkonen, it'll be interesting to see if he makes a push to crack the lineup or do what Hart did in Philly, make the team midseason

Thread: LA Firesale-Quick Martinez Kovalchuk Toffoli
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Funny how Hutton plays better than Quick and yet Sabres add to get him and his bad contract</div></div>

I'll admit, that one was the one I was conflicted with the most regarding fair value. I probably overvalue Quick in this....maybe LA could add more or Buffalo could remove a prospect, but here is my logic behind it.

I think Hutton showed, especially during the Sabres collapse that he isn't capable of being a #1 netminder and while Quick does have injury history, he is a winner, and one bad season on a horrendous LA team does not discredit his ability IMO, so I think acquiring him makes sense for a Buffalo team wanting to change their fortunes. Buffalo also has two NHL keepers and with Quick coming in with this deal I felt one had to go back the other way and I think Buffalo would rather keep Ulmark.

Thread: Sens - Seattle Expxansion Draft Project
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YvanF</b></div><div>I agree. VERY little chances of Callahan or Marleau waiving their NMC/NTC. Mainly looking for suggestions for trading partners who are in desperate need for cap relief, and players who "could" be shipped (ie: no NMC or NTC's).

I'm thinking TB, Tor and Oil fit the bill. Maybe Detroit. But players need agree. But I'm having fun thinking of plausible scenarios. Realistic scenarios are very hard to find.</div></div>

Some of the ones that come to mind that fit your profile (No NMC, less than 3 years):
Cody Eakin, Vegas (3.85 Mil, 1 Year)
Erik Gudbranson, Pittsburgh (4 Mil, 2 Years)
James Neal, Calgary (5.75 Mil, 4 Years) Buy out the last year if he never picks up his play
Victor Rask, Minnesota (4 Mil, 3 Years)
Justin Braun, San Jose (3.8 Mil, 1 Year)
Sam Gagner, Edmonton (3.15 Mil, 1 Year)
Nick Bonino, Nashville (4.1 Mil, 2 Years)
Craig Smith, Nashville (4.25 Mil, 1 Year)
