inkman Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Paul Hamilton just read a list of players without stating which teams they signed with. He was just telling the audience that they had signed. He would randomly mix in the guys the Sabres have signed. I was screaming at my radio. What was the point of that Paul? Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 This might be the best deal so far Quote

And they spend their first rounder on Knight, what the hell is Tallon doing? Very few first rounders outside the top 10 start right away, goalies usually take longer to develop and start. They now have someone to take the reigns now with a very good prospect to eventually back him up and take over. 5 years with a NMC, by then knight should be ready to take over Quote

(He'll be 31 by the time this season starts) 1 Quote
In The Buff Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 I dont know if this has been posted yet but Vancouver has jumped into the free-agent pool, signing defenseman Tyler Myers to a five-year contract with an AAV of $6 million. The Canucks also signed defenseman Jordie Benn to a two-year contract with an AAV of $2 million Guess that means no trade with us for Risto or Bogo 1 Quote

It's really not hard to sign absurdly stupid deals if you're a GM And yet teams are always able to get out of being screwed. In 5 years $10 mil a year isn't going to be as bad as it seems today. It also won't be so bad if it improves your team and your making the playoffs with the income from that Quote
