dudacek Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Actually the Roy deal was fine. Let's hope the player turns out better. And, for the record I am happy we've got him for six years. Contract should look cheap at the end of the deal. Smart, motivated player with some skill and high expectations for himself. He's already an OK second liner and the best is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Schopp @ BDog were besides themselves over the length of te contract. Of course they are. Matt Coller wrote an article saying we should trade him , and the pack mentality was set from that point. I like the length, although I am a little surprised he got almost a mil more than Henrique. Edit: OK so he barely got more than Henrique, not a million more. Love the deal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Just corrected himself AGAIN... Nick Kypreos @RealKyper43s #3 for a dollar. Ok last try. 4.25m x 6. 25M for #Sabres Hodgson. And AGAIN. Get your ###### straight and quit trying to rush the info... Nick Kypreos @RealKyper 1m 25.5M. I not tweeting anymore tonite!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, still fine. And, um... Reports are that it's between $1.5M and $6.5M per year. My reports. That I'm making up. And are conservative. NAILED IT.

... Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Schopp @ BDog were besides themselves over the length of te contract. I'm right there with them. 6 years? On an un-proven player? Hi, Stafford! Hi, Myers! Hi, Leino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm right there with them. 6 years? On an un-proven player? Hi, Stafford! Hi, Myers! Hi, Leino! Dustin Brown makes $3.2MM, Joe Pavelski $4MM. The "early" long term contract can work out in spectacular fashion. Sure it's a risk, but it's not insane.

spndnchz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Win. Even if he ends up sucking with the cap space going up will be able to bury him in Rochester if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Capgeek has 6 years, $4.25M. Win. Even if he ends up sucking with the cap space going up will be able to bury him in Rochester if need be. Geriatric moment: It's craziness that the salary ($4M/year) we didn't pay Mike Peca to remain as captain is/will now be considered buriable.

TrueBlueGED Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Coller's article did not say the should trade him. http://www.wgr550.com/pages/17263968.php?contentType=4&contentId=13766359 All things considered, moving Hodgson while he has a great deal of value and would garner a solid return seems like the best option. The Sabres have so many young players and so much cap room that his production could be replaced via the system or free agency in an eye blink.But a bridge deal shouldn't be out of the question. He might not have literally said "trade him no matter what"...but when reading the whole article, and seeing that in the conclusion to the article (and following Coller on twitter), it's pretty obvious he thinks a trade is the right route.

Trettioåtta Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 We got him long term for about a million more than we would have paid him for a bridge contract. This is a great signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He settled on "bridge" deal but I admit he is clearly not a fan. Sorry for the original "terse" response but I am kind if sensitive to mis-quoting or taking out of context.

IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Kadri is pissed. Haha, now which team has the moneybags. Suck it, Leafs. Edit: And then I examine the respective team payrolls, and I restate my position... Haha, now which team has the capspace to pay their players and a much more reasonable number of no trade clauses. Suck it, Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 The commencement of training camp talk yesterday, made me go "hmm, hockey season is nearing..." But with this signing, for some reason I don't know why, now I'm like "LET'S DO THIS. HOCKEY TIME!" Kadri may yet get the last Leaf Laugh in two years. When he gets to leave the Leafs as a UFA and/or rental, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Both Myers and Cody will have their contracts expire in the same year. Just sayin Nope. Can't bury salaries in the minors anymore. You can still just a portion counts towards cap which will be huge soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nope. Can't bury salaries in the minors anymore. You can still bury the player and with the Cap moving over $80 million, you can absorb the cap hit. That was the point being made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Cody strikes me as the kind of guy that doesn't want to discuss contracts in the off-season. He wants to focus on preparing himself. It's the Gary Roberts way. As soon as training camp starts the deal will be done. Wow, would you look at that?
