Or half-a-Hunwick in bad Contracts he can accept from them.

Add $916k for the C Hutton Buyout in June.

And adding zero value. When asked who had a better trade deadline - NJD or Ottawa he asked Marty who had more First round picks returned. Seriously? If your paid to comment, I need you to know a little about who they traded and what was the return, and secondly, a little more insight. Horrible Hammy. Time to hang those Iowa State skates up.

I knew the Belgians are good with their “waffles” but I had no idea how good their gloves were.

Not revisionist history. His performance in Buffalo was $hite. No question. The decision to not extend was justified. But he did perform outside this organization and just garnered more trade capital than Scandella. Those are facts. I thought they were fun.
-
Fun fact - Derek Grant, whom the Sabres failed to extend in 2017 (JB went with Pouliot, Griffith and Josefson) signed with the Ducks for one year $650K and went on to score 12 goals that year, just brought back more to the Ducks than Scandella did for Buffalo.

Zero Chance. Getz is retiring a Duck. The fans love him out here. So does ownership. He is a part of the OC fabric.

GDT:Sabres at Pittsburgh 2/22/20 1PM MSG, WGR

Why? -
I think this is right. If Son of Lars is not moved at the deadline it’s because he probably expressed an interest to stay, but since we haven’t seen an extension he probably wants to leave. The ONLY reason for him to stay is the Sweden West thing going on in Western NY. The losing has to have taken a toll. UFA status is earned, and he deserves a look. If he re-signs good for us, if not good on him. We need a prospect not a draft pick in return if moved.
-
This. Good comparison. Question is how can we do a reverse Kassian trade? We need to find a trade partner where we give the weaker Hodgson type player (Casey) and receive a bigger/stronger player (like Zack) with more smarts.

To Quote Mia Wallace "Truth is, nobody knows why Marcellus threw Tony out of that four story window except Marcellus and Tony. When you little scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle." Marcellus is TPegs PLF is Tony. The similarities also follow Mia : He Fell out of a window. Vincent : Hmm, hmm. Well, that is one way to say it. Another way to say it would be that he was thrown out. Another way would be that he was thrown out by Marcellus. And yet even another way to say it was that he was thrown out of the window by Marcellus because of you. Mia : Is that a fact? Vincent : No, no. It's not a fact, it's just what I heard. It's just what I heard. PLT was fired by Terry because of something. Probably not for giving Kim a foot massage.

I'm guessing you are using CF% & total points to measure this. If I'm wrong please clarify and advise how your offering this. If it is, you see he is still a negative Corsi player (47.1%). While this is true it's still slightly above his last four year average of 46.4%. But more importantly the biggest difference I see is total shots for/against compared to previous years. Not as a percentage, but total taken/allowed. Risto is tracking to have an average of 6 shots against less per game and more than 8 shots against per game less than his worst season. Corsi Against numbers for 19/20 are 14 per game. This is 43% over his previous 4 year average. And CF is 12.7 per game and close to down almost 40%. So yes, still a negative Corsi player. When you factor in Goals against & Goals For 5v5 it translates to huge improvement. His oiGF is tracking at .2 more per game. This includes his TOI down 15% to his 4 year average. This is a 52% improvement over his last four years. Similarly his oiGA is down .14 goals per game or 12% compared to 2015-2018 averages. Not looking at just his total +/- but seeing it within the context of other metrics could mean that low event hockey is a better match for him. This is not to say he hasn't had his moments and head scratching plays, but for me those are fewer (@Darksabre comment about oh Risto you idiot) and made up by a more physical presence in front which includes more take aways, fewer give aways and more hits per game. I also think until the Sabres have an actual forward with size, Risto offers the only net front presence on to PP, which has added a dimension to what was (is?) a struggling special teams. So not a 180 from previous years, but I would argue, not the "same" either.

Bogosian Signs a 1.3 Million Dollar Deal with Tampa
Broken Ankles replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
He has had moments of "goodness" but overall an oft injured player who has been more of a pylon than a defenseman during his tenure with the Sabres. he cannot be classified as Good. Below replacement. -
Not my debate here, but happy to offer my opinion on this topic. While to O'Reilly trade proved the ROR deserved the contract he signed, it was still not a good trade for the Sabres. The inherent value of a trade-able asset who is about to become a UFA is to provide immediate help to a team vying for a playoff run. No team up to that point, nor since then, ranking in the bottom 5 of the league (let alone an all-time tank bad) has traded a first round pick or the equivalent for a UFA. The Sabres gave up three times this. The Sabres then had to over-pay to get ROR to sign the extension. They could have easily waited through the 2015 season and made the same offer and kept all those assets. Zadorov & Compher have become valuable assets for COL, and while the Av's traded the 31st overall, the 2015 was stocked with amazing talent that could have yielded many names bantered about in many other posts. This unit, with Kane, Lehner, ROR and Jack over-achieved in 2015, dropping their selection in 2016 to #8. Had they allowed an organic growth to occur ,the 2016 draft might have resulted Matthews instead of Nylander. Worst case, Matthew Tkachuk. Now could ROR have been traded at the deadline in 2015 and signed an extension with another team? Maybe. Only a few times had cap space to make that offer, so it was limited. Hindsight is over course 20/20, but the fact no GM of a last place team would ever consider trading 3 solid assets to then overpay for an extension is foresight. Similarly we were told on how TM was a draft Svengali, and he should have known how strong the 2015 draft was, so to trade not one, but three picks in the top 31 overall is just unforgivable.

Bogosian Signs a 1.3 Million Dollar Deal with Tampa
Broken Ankles replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Don't you think he thought Terry/JB were going to pay the remainder of his salary (a la David Backes) and not have to report? -
Funny, but NOT true.
-
Montreal is effectively out of the race, and will soon sell off all their assets including Scandella. Question is, do you believe he will garner more than a 4th round pick? Nothing has change to impact his value for the stretch run. If he does yield more than we know JB cannot properly evaluate value.

Is this the correct decision? He wasn’t atrocious in his last start. Does Johansson deserve a “big game”? To see how he responds. -
Bogosian Signs a 1.3 Million Dollar Deal with Tampa
Broken Ankles replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
If we were playing Card Sharks I’d say this a high number. My guess is this not like Moulson where there was over 1.5 years at $5m AAV and he needed to be a good little soldier. I’m sure he has to get with agent and look at all options but the situation is toxic. I heard second hand from someone with knowledge that it was a retirement. But if the agent gets no feelers, Bogo might not want to lose the 1/3 of this years salary and report. -
In concept, great idea. But the player still has to sign. Worst case is we make a ridiculous offer and he chooses to forgo and accept a bridge to stay. Then it’s leaked only exacerbating the perception of anti-hockey heaven.

Hearing Bogo will not be going to Roch and announcing a retirement.
