I didn't think it was going to be a problem but with Ehrhoff and Leino off the books, they really need to pay someone. I hope GMTM has thought this through and already has an idea of who will sign here.

 

Prepare yourself for the contract Tyler Ennis is going to sign.

I'd be surpised if he gets (relatively) stupid money. BUT it might have bought Orpik an extra $ MM on each year of his 2 year deal.

Murray has said time and again, almost dismissively, he is not concerned one bit about getting to the floor. The guy should know. Come on, Murray-ites, don't get all wobbly in the knees now.

What is a Murray-ite? Are you now skeptical of people who like the new GM, too? Is there anyone of whom you would not be skeptical?

 

The guy has been here for 171 days. Let's give him a chance before getting cynical.

I think it is pretty obvious how we'll add salary. With the cap at only $69 million, several teams will need to shed a contract or two to get breathing room under the cap. We'll be the league's dumpster for shedding salary. I doubt free agent will want to sign in Buffalo, so we'll have to add salary via trades.

This is how they can do it. A player with a large cap hit and a NMC who is not in that teams plans next season can be traded to the Sabres for the sole purpose of buying him out. This will get the Sabres to the cap floor and as mentioned by Eleven might curry favor with the NHLPA

Like how in the NBA teams take on expiring contracts in trades s other teams can have more wiggle room with their cap...

 

Wonder what Murray is going to want for doing this from those teams...

I see $5Mill left to reach the floor with Ennis still out there.

 

He'll most likely get $4mill per.

 

We need another D-man, so there ya go...

And if they sign Reinhart and he plays for us that is another 4mil

I was just trying to add this up.

With Ennis and Reinhart, we are pretty much there.

Add in Ott or a veteran D and punting Staff at the deadline doesn't put them below the floor either.
