LTS Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 My bad, didn't realize we could protect him. Wow Vegas isn't getting much out of us if they don't take ullmark. I still can't imagine anyone taking des. It's just a waste of a pick. Would he be the pick or would he be a piece in a trade that protects another Sabres player from being picked? Quote
dudacek Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 I still wonder if we can trade them our first to unload a bad contract or two? I wouldn't trade them pick eight for any of our bad contracts. Not even all three (Ennis, Moulson, Bogo) unless JBot has some sweet deals in place to use the cap space. Quote

apuszczalowski Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 So how is this going to go down? Does the nhl have a long draft show planned where they will set up the draft board on the stage and just have Vegas logo on every spot, and give them time between teams where they come up on stage to announce their pick like they do the entry draft? Or is the league just going to have a list that gets unveiled at a certain time showing the picks? Could be funny for a bit to see the front office of the knights sitting in an almost empty arena going back and forth from their table to the stage announcing pick after pick Quote
pi2000 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 They'll reveal the team at the NHL awards show next Wed in Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. I'll be there with my boys. Quote
Eleven Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 why? I think it would be fun to go to an NHL awards show. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 why?Guessing he got tickets and lives there Quote
WildCard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 I think it would be fun to go to an NHL awards show. I'd go at least once for sure Quote
shrader Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 why? He's praying for a Bieber and Nickelback sighting? Quote
WildCard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 He's praying for a Bieber and Nickelback sighting? Hey Bieber is a comeback kid Quote
pi2000 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 why? I live 4hrs away and my boys are rabid hockey fans. Cheap rooms in Vegas on a weekday, and free VIP tickets for the show. We'll spend a few extra days there, hit up Top Golf, some rides, attractions etc. We were just there in February on our way to Brian Head, UT... but this time we're also hoping for a Bieber or Nickelback sighting.

LGR4GM Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Hey Bieber is a comeback kid Wonder if Bieber is a Nashville or Pittsburgh fan this year, he seems to change teams every 3 seconds. Quote
WildCard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Wonder if Bieber is a Nashville or Pittsburgh fan this year, he seems to change teams every 3 seconds. Most celebs do Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Most celebs do Except for Carrie Underwood, she seems to really be a Nashville fan... Quote
WildCard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Except for Carrie Underwood, she seems to really be a Nashville fan... Well she's got them by the balls that's for sure Then again, Bieber might have the Pens like that too... Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 I will be at the award show/expansion draft as well with 9 other people. I was fortunate enough to skate at T-mobile twice and also have a quarter season seats. The building is beautiful and the ice is pretty damn good. Quote
kas23 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 @SabresBuzz 42s42 seconds ago The Sabres have signed Linus Ullmark to a two year extension @SabresBuzz 37s38 seconds ago The Sabres say that Ullmark's extension is $750K AAV Would this have any impact over him being selected or not? Quote
dudacek Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 So, Moulson on his way to Vegas? https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/vegas-golden-knights-solidify-final-plans-for-expansion-draft/ Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 What about a deal to send Marcus Foligno to LV? Mike Foligno is on LV's staff. Quote
nfreeman Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 So, Moulson on his way to Vegas? https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/vegas-golden-knights-solidify-final-plans-for-expansion-draft/ And maybe Lehner is the price the Sabres pay to unload Moulson? That would create about $8MM-$9MM in cap space for next year (although they'd need to spend some on a goalie). Quote

That would create about $8MM-$9MM in cap space for next year (although they'd need to spend some on a goalie). So we give Vegas Lehner, in return they take Moulson? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Actually..... I'll allow it. Quote

That would create about $8MM-$9MM in cap space for next year (although they'd need to spend some on a goalie). Talk about undoing the TM era in one stroke. This would free up money to re-sign Kane for those that are interested and give us plenty of room to improve the defense as well. Quote
Taro T Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Would this have any impact over him being selected or not? If it's a 1 way deal there's no way Vegas is taking him. Quote
nfreeman Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 If it's a 1 way deal there's no way Vegas is taking him. Why not? He can still be sent down -- Vegas would just need to pay him the $750K. That doesn't seem like a big deal. Vegas definitely takes him before they take one of the Sabres' bad contracts, IMHO. Quote
