I seem to remember several poster here wanting the Sabres to sign him back then. On the other hand, my memory is very far from good, so I may have that all wrong and it was some other guy. Edited July 12, 2019 by New Scotland (NS) the whole 'ed' and 'ing' thing is so confusing ... 1 Quote

dejeanerret Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 She's a steal based on 26 goals and 56 points last year. 49 goals last two seasons on a crappy OTT team. We paid more for an injury prone Johannson Quote
dudacek Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 Seems like the Canes are a good fit. Overrated player, but good move by them. Quote

Really hope Mojo stays healthy, otherwise i'll look back to this & get even more depressed lol. Quote

Are we now operating under the assumption that the reasons more GM's don't do offer sheets is because offer sheets are actually helpful to the team with the RFA being sheeted? Quote

This seems to be the spin put on it after the Aho situation. I honestly fail to see how this is the case, however. A GM who knows what he's doing has/had the ability to lower the boom in a few situations this summer. They're just not doing it for fear of being challenged to a barn fight, or some such. Unless you're Marc ***** Bergevin, then you just get played like a fiddle and go on about your business afterwards. Quote

I still don't get that whole idea of "we're done negotiating, so we'll let someone else do it for us". Sure, the player may get a better idea of his actual value after talking to someone else, but it just seems like a good way to stick yourself with a term you don't like all while establishing some bad blood. 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Problem with Marner is anyone willing to give him what he will accept is likely unwilling to give up picks. Best TO can do is trade him or get him to accept less. Quote

Potentially, but only in cases where there’s a massive divide (like Marner and the Leafs - Dubas screwed the pooch waiting to sign Marner last) or in circumstances like in the Aho scenario where the sheet was an “easy match” for Carolina.
