Weave Posted September 14, 2018 Report Posted September 14, 2018 They get taxed in the state they play, no? So any advantage is half an advantage, home games. Not insignificant.

Not insignificant. At most half. Deductions too, charitable or otherwise. Plus endorsement money is likely larger in a place like NYC than in Nashville, regardless of tax differences.

So any advantage is half an advantage, home games. Not insignificant. Less than half. You get 41 home games, but you, at minimum, would have played in that arena if you were on a different team at least once. If it's a division team, could be more. So really it's somewhere south of or equal to 40 games. Edited September 14, 2018 by WildCard

Maybe Bob as well. We'll see how the Buffalo goalies do this year. Probably a safe bet that we could always use a multiple Vezina Trophy winner though. Are you the fookin mayor or something.?

Population booming. Just food-wise, the food trucks, fast casual, breweries, and restaurants, are as a whole, varied and excellent. Not going to stick up for Ohio as a whole because, like much of New York state, there are large swaths of nothing. But, back to my point, it seems like a place that young, rich athletes would like to be because of all there is to do here. With a decent team and I doubt they get bothered or recognized much when they're out on the town. It just seems that Bob and Panarin will likely be traded this season at some point. So, do all this food trucks and breweries and shyt have pictures of the food on their menus?
Two or less Posted September 15, 2018 Report Posted September 15, 2018 Just a friendly reminder, theres live hockey on tonight. 2:30am on the NHL Network. Boston v. Calgary.

Any interest in Panarin especially? Is Buffalo even a desired destination for him? What would it take to get him? I would cries tears of joy if we acquired Bobrovsky For any others on here who are goaltenders and/or connoisseurs the art of goaltending, he is such a joy to behold Edited September 15, 2018 by erickompositör72

(Actually, this might go for the whole state.) Anyway. I don't want the Sabres to pay what it would take to get Panarin, unless Columbus only wants picks or something AND a deal to retain him is worked out in advance. I know you’re just having fun, and there are PLENTY of places in rural Ohio that deserve mocking... But Columbus torches anything in WNY when it comes to food/beer/nightlife scene. I was born and raised in Rochester. Lived in Buffalo all through school. I was convinced I should never leave. Was ready to throw down the roots, start my family there, live and die. But my wife’s career brought us down to Columbus. And holy was I wrong about wanting to stay put. Now I couldn’t imagine ever going back there. And the local food here is a big part of it. I love Buffalo. It’s an incredible hockey market. But i don’t think that’s what Panarin is looking for. I think he’s a bit of a diva looking for the superficial stuff. And you’re wasting your time mentioning Buffalo if Columbus isn’t good enough for him ? 2

Fine, but I’m ordering boneless wings with a side of ranch, just to rile you ? In all seriousness, I’ll make it to a meet up at some point to see you crazy folks. As it currently stands, Nov. 3 Sabres/Nov. 4 Bills is my only scheduled trip for games. But that can always change.
Hoss Posted September 16, 2018 Report Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) This offseason was insane. So often there are players on the block forever that never end up actually getting moved. I can’t really think of many that didn’t end up getting moved this offseason. Justin Faulk is the only one I can think of. Karlsson to San Jose Pacioretty to Las Vegas Skinner to Buffalo Tavares to Toronto O’Reilly to St. Louis Hoffman to Florida Kovalchuk to LA Hamilton to Carolina Hanifin and Lindholm to Calgary Galchenyuk to Arizona Domi to Montreal Bozak to St. Louis JVR to Philly Those are just the ones off the top of my head. I didn’t include most free agent switches, just the ones that are guys leaving franchises they’ve been with for a while that means something. All this and Rick Nash still hasn’t really went one way or the other on playing next year. Edited September 16, 2018 by Hoss
Wyldnwoody44 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Posted September 16, 2018 I won't lie, I loved Columbus, I went there for some training at the central Ohio trauma system, stayed in Gahanna (sp) went to the zoo, Jenis ice cream, the sausage house in Germantown, went to the Victorian neighborhood and then to a giant food mall downtown near the coolest antique shop I've ever seen. Def will go back!
Huckleberry Posted September 16, 2018 Report Posted September 16, 2018 Quote 14. You’ll remember that Washington traded defenceman Brooks Orpik to Colorado at the draft. The Avalanche bought out Orpik from the one season remaining on his contract, and he went back to the Capitals one month later. Savings for Washington: $4 million in cap space. A couple of weeks ago, the league notified the individual clubs that it reviewed the situation, and explained its concerns. Teams viewed the memo as a warning, that if the NHL could make an example of someone, it would. From friedman, so that won't happen again ?
WildCard Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Posted September 17, 2018 Karlsson expected to receive an 8 year contract offer from the Sharks https://www.nhl.com/news/sharks-erik-karlsson-expected-to-get-eight-year-contract-offer/c-300157042
Ducky Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 96m over 8 years for EK? Morrissey signed a 2 year 6.3m for an AAV of 3.15m per year. I would have liked to have seen him signed for 7 or 8 years. This move is going to benefit Morrissey in the long run.

While he’s still elite they’ll have Pavelski, Burns, Vlasic, Couture, Jones, Kane and probably like 17 other guys I’m forgetting in their prime. It would be a disappointment if that core doesn’t win one or even a couple cups. Should be looking at a worst-case of two years of a struggling Karlsson who already has a few rings on his fingers.

I wasn't knocking Columbus at all, I really like the city. I go there anytime the Sabres are playing and we eat and drink in the arena district which is amazing. I am always surprsied when people say Columbus is a sh!thole, probably because they have never been there. I was just going along with the joke that a lot of restaurants are in fact littered with pictures, nothing more.

All this and Rick Nash still hasn’t really went one way or the other on playing next year. I think one thing we learned this year, from the Kane, Hoffman, ROR, Skinner, and Karlsson trades, is that seemingly high value players don't actually garner that high a value in the trade market. Teams have a limit on how much they're willing to spend regardless of the value of a player.

It only makes sense for teams to bid on these guys if they have that particular hole AND the cap room to make them work. Fewer bidders on any one player usually results in a lower price to obtain him. Though we initially hear of 8-10 teams kicking the tires on any one deal, it seems for most of these guys there are really only 2-3 legit bidders, if even that many.
