dudacek Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Another one bites the dust for JBot. 2nd year is one-way, which is pretty interesting to me. Don't see him as a full-time NHLer. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/sabres-evan-rodrigues-extension/c-290523942 Edited July 27, 2017 by dudacek Quote

darksabre Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Just another move to appease Lord Jack :P Quote
Derrico Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Just another move to appease Lord Jack :P That's not how you spell Casey. Quote
Thorner Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Two to go? Big Z and Baloo. Don't care about A, nervous about B. Quote
pi2000 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Just another move to appease Lord Jack :P haha, yeah, nice wedding gift for ERod, however, I don't think he deserves a one-way deal. doesn't necessarily mean he'll be playing with the big club tho, both Nelson and Ullmark are on one-ways. It always amazes me how much difference there is in AHL vs NHL salary on the two-way deals.... Nylander 70K/yr in AHL, 832k/yr NHL. A one-way deal is huge for these guys. Quote
LikeEich Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 650K per, no details on 1st year AHL salary but who cares but him Quote

I think that's the way it should be. The players have it written out before them that they will make great money if they work very hard, and if not, then they won't. It takes away the guessing games and allows the player to have control over their own monetary promotion. You do "x", you get "y". You don't do "x", you get "z". Quote
nfreeman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Good for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he carves out a Brian Flynn/Tim Kennedy sorta 3-6 years of an NHL paycheck. Quote
WildCard Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 That's not how you spell Casey.Well played :lol: Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Good for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he carves out a Brian Flynn/Tim Kennedy sorta 3-6 years of an NHL paycheck. He's making more his second year out of college than I'm making after 30+ years out of college. Good for him. (We won't comment about me.) Quote
SwampD Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Good for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he carves out a Brian Flynn/Tim Kennedy sorta 3-6 years of an NHL paycheck. I think he's much better than those two players. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Sometimes Rodrigues reminded me of Pominville, but the production is what ultimately counts. Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 I think he's much better than those two players. I'm not ready to say that yet. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 I think he's much better than those two players. Me too. I like his speed and seems to be able to score. Quote
shrader Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 He's making more his second year out of college than I'm making after 30+ years out of college. Good for him. (We won't comment about me.) Don't feel too bad about yourself. The AHL end of that contract isn't that high. Quote
Scottysabres Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Bots said team needs to get faster. Rod has some speed. The 2way/1way deal leaves room to slide some of the other kids in and out of the line up if necessary this season. Quote
Ogre Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 Rodriques was a good move by Murray. Extending him is a good move by JBot. He had the potential to be a damn good call up. Even if we make the playoffs. I think he could be effective. Quote

Don't see him as a full-time NHLer. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/sabres-evan-rodrigues-extension/c-290523942 In two years I see him being more with the big club than zemgus. Quote
JohnnyK Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 IMO If E-Rod is part of this team we still stink a small soft forward who scores a hand full of goals does not equal a Big Z (or another player who is) scoring a hand full of goals and for-checking and killing penalties and can hit and get under the skin of the other team, especially in the playoffs again just IMO I like the 2-way signing he is a great Roch. guy and call-up if someone gets hurt but not much more Quote

His AHL salary in year one is $225k, which is a lot for AHL level. He seems to have good leadership qualities, just not the stature to play at the NHL level. Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 Don't feel too bad about yourself. The AHL end of that contract isn't that high. He actually gets paid his NHL contract in the AHL :p Quote
Taro T Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 He actually gets paid his NHL contract in the AHL :p Only in year 2. Quote
