IKnowPhysics Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Based on advanced stats? I eyeballed his usage and corsi whathaveyou. It's ok, not great. Carter's playing tough minutes in LA, but it's not like Richards is sheltered a lot or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Based on advanced stats? Advanced stats, conventional stats, and the fact that Sutter buried him on the 4th line and they're happy to risk losing him for nothing just to get away from that contract. I realize a 4th liner on a Cup-caliber team is better than a lot of what the Sabres have, but that's more of a commentary on the Sabres than an endorsement of Richards.

MattPie Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Does the cap penalty transfer to us if he retires as a Sabre, or does it still screw LA? I'm not really that interested. Maybe I would be if his contract were 2-3 years. Or if his cap hit were less than $4M or so. Being in 30th place, we also get first crack, correct? I think it screws LA since they benefited from paying more than the cap hit. The Flyers (as someone above mentioned) are pretty even, so they're fine. The Sabres would be paying above cap hit for a couple years, so we'd get hit until the started paying out the cheap years and salary is back down below the average. He'll be 36 when the contract ends, so there might be recapture. If LA does move him now, they''ll get hit no matter what if he retires before the contract is complete. It's very much like the Ehrhoff situation for LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Strike the Oilers off the list of teams that might have interest in Mike Richards. A simple "No" was the answer to the question about MR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Colin Greening from Ottawa is expected to be put on waivers in the next few days. That's a player I would expect Murray to claim. He's 6-3, 217. Still just 28 and has played in the league a few years. Good filler guy while you're waiting for more talent to fill those spots.

LGR4GM Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Domi's size was never viewed as a liability. But Mitch Marner's and Travis Konecny's is. I am simply cautioning against some of the draft bias that pervades rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
