Bullwinkle III Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Why? hodgson doesnt strike me as a hate practise type guy. Well, back in my college days...long ago...players would usually use training camp to get into shape for the season. That's not normally the case these days (players like Bufylgien being notable exceptions), but guys like Horton hated that. He was close to being in good shape all summer and just used the first couple of regular season games to complete the process. Of course at the time he did this, he was an excellent defenseman in that he used minimal energy to neutralize oncoming forwards. It was a thing of beauty to watch. Hodgson may not be that kind of guy...certainly he isn't as seasoned as Horton was...but it's always more fun to play in real games rather than do wind sprints.

So we'll just ignore your previous post then?
26CornerBlitz Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Hodgson confident he’ll get deal done with Sabres
Hoss Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 vine.co/v/h1PUTDd1MeD There's a link to Cody announcing his new six-year deal. Toss the C on him now.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Wasn't expecting a deal of that length.
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Link above went busto, but TSN: "Long-term, multiyear"
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Anyone care to venture a guess on the AAV?
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Reports are that it's between $1.5M and $6.5M per year. My reports. That I'm making up. And are conservative.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 My guess is the same. 5m per is my guess
inkman Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Schopp @ BDog were besides themselves over the length of te contract.
Hoss Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Reports are that it's between $1.5M and $6.5M per year. My reports. That I'm making up. And are conservative. I'm hearing between $1 mill and $8 mill per. Based on my report. That is even more conservative. Because I'm scared.
TheMatrix31 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Kyper says 25.5 million, 4.5 cap hit.
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Kyper says 25.5 million, 4.5 cap hit. Fine. Edit: Actually, in a few years, that could be the ######.
Hoss Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Alright. I can deal with it. I think he'll be well worth it in a few years.
Hoss Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Also: Consider the inflation you're about to see on deals. When the cap goes up to $70 mill then you're going to see guys like Hodgson getting more $$$ than this.
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Welp, at least we're hanging onto assets. That's a good trend. This may even help sway Vanek a little to stay.
nfreeman Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Kyper says 25.5 million, 4.5 cap hit. Sounds a lot like the deal DR gave Derek Roy at a similar stage of his career. Let's hope this one turns out better.
TheMatrix31 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Kyper has corrected himself. Now says it's 27. Still not bad.
