Frankly, if it wasn't for the Russians (who I believe lost more lives) we wouldn't have won the war. We should realize the sun doesn't rise and set on us. Before you get bent out of shape I served and I'm not putting down anyone but my opinion and emotions aren't based on what my relatives may have done although I respect them. Just seems there's a lot of flag wavers who haven't served in fact a few are ones who dodged the draft because of family connections. Okay, that's my rant.

Huckleberry Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 I have a feeling we might walk away if he gets a 2.5 mill deal. 1 Quote

triumph_communes Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Doesn't it depend upon who initiated? Didn't the players elect for arbitration in each of these cases? Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 I don’t think we can walk away. That’s why there is a post arbitration buyout period. You can buyout players w contracts of 3.45 mill or greater within 3 days of the final arbitration hearing. Sound like anyone we know? Quote

You can buyout players w contracts of 3.45 mill or greater within 3 days of the final arbitration hearing. Sound like anyone we know? Expand The team can walk away from the deal if it was a player initiated arbitration. But that's only if it is above a certain figure and it looks like the ERod deal would net pass that threshold. So yeah, they won't be able to walk away from him. That's what happened with Kennedy, they had to buy him out because his contract was too small to walk away from. Quote
Believer Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Botterill needs to reinforce his standard for players... If you don’t want to be here to contribute to our future ... We don’t want you here... Erod is no exception... Quote

Expand That's great and all, but what does it have to do with his pending arbitration hearing? 2 Quote
Doohickie Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Yeah, I don't see ERod asking for arbitration an indication that he doesn't "want to be here and contribute to our future." It's simply that he wants to get paid what he (or his agent) thinks he deserves. 2 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 When is the hearing today? I thought they’d work it out. Quote

The arbitrator is going to decide what E-Rod is worth and the Sabres will either pay him or let him walk. Quote

Just once I want to see a team and the player show up to arbitration with a $200k gap in offers. The resulting WTF wave from the arbitrator would be hilarious. Quote
darksabre Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Erod better hope they don't reward him too much or else he's going to get Tim Kennedy'd. Quote

Curt Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 I think Rodrigues deserves something around $2M. He can put up 25pts at ES while playing bottom-6 mins, with good defense and is a good PKer. That’s probably on a 2-3 yr deal though. I wouldn’t want to be giving him a $0.25M raise every year. Quote

Expand I have always liked Rodriguez but like most players on the team, he is utterly replaceable as you suggest. It's unbelievable the amount of money guys like Rodriguez earn these days. The lousy level of regular season play translates directly from these salary levels. The hungry guys trying to keep a job and who are happy to make $600,000 a year are gone now. They're all rich, fat, and happy now, just to varying degrees. Quote
