They are talking! 

 

 

Hold off on the thought that Tim Murray is automatically trading Jamie McGinn just because the Buffalo Sabres’ top-line left winger will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

The club’s general manager acknowledged Thursday’s he’s had multiple conversations with McGinn’s agent about a contract extension, a departure from his past policy since he arrived in 2014 of dumping UFAs at the NHL trade deadline to acquire draft picks. And McGinn is happy to hear the chatter too.

“I hope that they’re talking a lot but it’s out of my control,” McGinn told The Buffalo News after Thursday’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Boston Bruins in First Niagara Center. “What I can do comes on the ice, being a good teammate and trying to help this team win. That’s between them. My focus in here is to play hockey. I like it here and that’s why I have an agent to deal with that kind of stuff.”

This is the full quote from the WGR interview, it seemed less likely regarding an extension, or perhaps Murray is just posturing:

 

"We've talked to him 2 or 3 times. We've asked what their thoughts are on term and on money. We've given them our thoughts on term. So if we can do something that suits both parties we will try; and if we can't, again depending on how the team does the next three weeks, I certainly don't like to see a player leave here without getting anything back."

pitch perfect, GM TM.

Can we please have better thread titles?

Can we please have better thread titles?

 

Seconded. (FYI, I think you can edit the thread title if you edit the first post.)

Descriptive topic titles are an asset to our community. It helps community members recognize which conversations they might want to read or participate in.

 

Please refrain from using generic topic titles, including player name only titles. If you can take the time to start a conversation, you can take a moment and properly label it.

 

The original poster can edit the title.

 

Thanks for making SabreSpace a better place.

OTOH who's not going to click a thread titled "Good!"?

I clicked it just because it made me mad.

Is this title really any better? This comes up all the time, why can't we just have short, concise titles? "Sabres considering extending McGinn" works a whole lot better than "Good!!!" or "Good news about McJamie."

Thats where I'm at. "Top line left winger" Lmao. Trade him.

Swing a deal where Jamie gets traded but resigns here next season.

That worked out just how we wanted with Moulson.

 

 

Seriously though, what kind of money do people think Jamie is worth, and what do you think he'll get?

[Iron Crotch]

McJamie?

Would that be ethical??  :angel:

[WildCard]

McJamie?

Yeah, that's freaking me out. Sounds like the lead for the next boy band

If you have a deal-deal in place, probably not. If you tell McGinn, "hey, don't sign anything on July 1st without talking to us first", not a problem.

Or a new Scottish doctor on that crappy TV show.
