Duh. Thanks, I forgot what thread I was in.

Why?

Here's a nice write-up on Sabres chances written almost an hour ago. Nothing new but interesting read. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25189829/sabres-legitimate-threat-to-pry-mike-babcock-from-red-wings

Superdraft - where would every NHL player get picked today?
Derrico replied to SDS's topic in The Aud Club
Somehow I missed this. That's my other pick. I only settled on 2 because I thought the chances of them going back to back would be slim. -

I sware to God, I just finished my research five minutes ago and that was my next pick you . -

Exactly. I love the trademark by the way :lol:

But there is still the big point that salaries =/= quality of player. Circumstances play a huge roll.
-
Man, just present what your going to present and see if it sways anybody. This is like the lead up to Babcock signing.

I feel like I should have my lawyer with me for this one.

But it all ties back to the contract. Myself, and some others, are saying ROR is worth 7.5 to 8 million which is pay for a very good player but not the most elite in the NHL. I feel this is the range of a guy that would get around $6 million three years ago. Therefore, he is being paid like a top 90 forward should be, not top 30. If you recognize that then you may agree that we are not 'having it both ways' by saying ROR should be paid elite money but then should not be traded for elite prospects. I'm saying $8 mil is not elite money in today's cap world and therefore he won't be traded for an elite haul.
-
I've got that feeling he's also coming.
-
The Cap went up from 39 million to 69 million in only 10 years. It's just the cost of doing business now. $8 million today is equivalent to $6 million type players three years ago.

My parents house is considerably nicer than mine but I paid $10,000 more for my house 15 years later. Does that make my house better than my parents? Back when Sidney Crosby signed his long term deal in 2012 - Great players got paid 8.7 Million Now Toews and Kane signed recently for over 10 million per year. The cost for an elite elite player is 10+ million per year. I don't need to use a bunch of comparables signed years ago to set the market. Paul Stastney set the market last year at $7 million for that quality of a player. If Stastney can get $7 Million then ROR can get 7.5 to 8 next year.

Salaries paid =/= quality of player!! That's the point that you keep bringing up I don't agree with. Was Ville Leino the 50th best NHL player or whatever he was based on his contract?
-
Who said he's a top 30 player? This started as a top 3 forward (top 90 player).

I scanned the list twice to make sure because I thought he would have already been gone. -
As Lloyd says "So you're telling me there's a chance?!"
-
I don't know if he's top 30, but he's definitely top 90, probably top 50 even. Look below for some examples of other top line players that were moved. Don't even get me started on what Seguin was moved for. Edit, and now more examples from dudacek. Yes I think he's a top 50 player. Yes I think he can be acquired for a package that does not include Risto/Bogo.
-
I think the board would say replace Risto/Bogo with Zadorov/Pysyk. If you make the assumption his trade value is depressed based on the contract then you don't go Risto/Bogo.
-
I love the thought of ROR on this team but if Risto or Bogo are part of the deal then I'll pass.
