After signing Ennis, Foligno Ruhwedal and Conacher and bringing up players like Larsson Ristolainen and Pysyk, they end up only like $7M under the floor. Two or three acquisitions should cover it.
-
He's two years younger than the youngest of that group.
-
First round is on NBC Sports Net
-
I think it'd have to be a no move clause to block waivers, I'm not sure what he has.
-
Saw something that said in order to use a compliance buyout on a player that player has to pass through waivers first. Which, if Ehrhoff is claimed on waivers (I assume he would be) the Sabres would then be on the hook for the full recapture penalty they'd be looking to avoid with the buyout. If they're looking to reduce the risk of the recapture penalty the only option for Ehrhoff is to keep him. http://capgeek.com/faq/how-does-cap-advantage-recapture-work
-
If he retired now the penalty would be the $10M divided amongst the years remaining on the contract, so only like $1.43M per season for the next 7 years.
-
If he is traded and retires prior to the 2020 season, the Sabres have a recapture penalty of $10M http://www.capgeek.com/recapture-calculator/?contract_id=3266&player_id=121&recapture_submit=set&retirement_year=2020&trade=1&acquiring_team=6&in_season_trade=0&in_season_traded_year=2013&season_percentage=1&off_season_traded_year=2014
-
That $10M hit in 2020 could be pretty crippling for one season.
-
If he is traded it will be worse as the Sabres won't gain the credit from the final years of the deal where his cap hit is greater than his salary. I don't think I would buy him out as those penalties are not likely to be all that restrictive, especially with a rising cap. However, even if salary is retained, I don't think I would risk trading him
-
At the post draft presser Marrone made it sound like Graham will be playing mostly CB with the ability to move to safety in certain packages, or if injury requires it. Duke WIlliams will be competing for a starting spot and I believe that he's the guy they'd like to win the job.
-
This is often mentioned due to Jackson's short time in the NFL. I'm not sure how you'd research this but I wonder how much work Fred had prior to making it in the NFL. It's safe to assume he played all four years in college and many times guys end up playing year round in lesser leagues attempting to make it. As a result it's possible he has more wear and tear than a typical 34 year old RB. Brown is at least as valuable as any back they'd have drafted in the 4th this year, likely next.
-
I view it as they added two WRs and lost one, they're still net up one weapon for Manuel at the position. Stevie did not appear to be a great fit last year and apparently wore out his welcome with Marrone.
-
No, and with their contract statuses it's probably a smart move to get a guy in for a year before being expected to contribute.
-
What did he pull last year?
-
When was the battista interview on?
-
If he's playing elsewhere he is, and if they're paying a portion of his salary it is reducing the overall cap advantage gained. Therefore reducing the penalty. Maybe you're right, just a thought.
-
The formula is (salary paid - cap hit)/ years remaining in the contract. Seems like if they're still paying him it would affect the amount of the penalty.
-
After the season they'll have the ability to retain salary in trades, retaining some of Ehrhoff's potentially could reduce the cap hit if the recapture penalty were to come into play.
-
And players can only be extended with one year remaining on the deal
-
Butler and Byron as well
-
I don't think that's right, cap geek has them at $37M with only 13 players signed going into next year. Only $15M under the projected floor. http://capgeek.com/sabres
-
Isles are giving the 5th
-
I guess it would depend on the prospects
-
to be fair this year hasn't been great statistically either, were his big years in Colorado with Sacco? -
and 18 goals in 48 games last year, and he's only been in the league for 4 full years.
