Not sure how many ways there is to say this: look at what guys of similar age, role, contract status and production have signed for. If we get him at 6+ for 6+ years, it will be at a market discount. 1 Quote

I prefer more per year and say five years but probably player probably wants term. Quote

That decreases the potential pool of centers available to the Sabres July 1st Quote

FA isn't likely to get it done. Nor should it (the FA). At least, from the opposition GM's point of view. If I'm a GM I might consider Larry. But none of the rest of the UFAs interest me. The question is: is that D a Pilut or a Joker or a Risto? What are we willing to do for our 2C? Quote

But at some point he has to make that move. He can't sit on his hands until Mittelstadt &/or Cozens is finally ready to step into that role. 7 minutes ago, DarthEbriate said: Nor should it (the FA).

What are we willing to do for our 2C? IMHO, that D-man going out is one of Ristolainen, Montour, or Miller. Pilut doesn't get it done. Nor, again IMHO, does the potential that Jokiharju's exhibited. 1 Quote

Pilut - ready to contribute but inconsequential, Joker - someone to build around potentially, or Risto - established. Pilut and Joker levels both require much more in addition. Risto/established D needs a sweetener, depending on the target. Quote

And, to get the sort of quality we're hoping for, there likely will be something else going outbound. Quote

Yes, each of those is the Risto/vet mold, although Miller requires more additional chips to get the 2C. They're all + a pick or two to get a legit 2C with term, in return. 1 Quote
WildCard Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 Always wanted Muzzin. That deal takes him until he's 36. Seems long but idk, maybe Muzzin's style let's him play that long. Seems a little much for him though at his age 3 Quote
FogBat Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 I just remembered this in conjunction with the Ayres game: Quote

Seems a little much for him though at his age I thought he was already showing signs of slowing down so this contract term might bite them down the road but they had no choice, their D sucks. The Morgan Reilly injury has exposed the lack of D depth on that team severely. Half your cap on 4 forwards is a recipe for disaster. One I hope we don't follow. Quote
