Terry has 21M in his couch cushions...on his yacht...

Pretty sure the other owners would've been fine with letting the Sabres keep all their players but forego their share of the expansion fee.  (Drop the total fee $5MM & Seattle's probably good w/ it too.  😉 )

Yes.  That was obvious.  But do you really think the owner of the Knights would prefer to keep one of his eighth exposable forward, his 4th exposable D man, or Fluery rather than have an extra $21 MM in his pocket?

That is a readily replaceable player especially for a "destination" team like Vegas.

(And it was easier to use the Sabres as the example because it is fairly likely that Borgen will be exposed and very likely selected.  No idea which Vegas players would need to be exposed and really don't care who their 7th, 8th, & 9th F's are.  Nor is there any desire to get into the inevitable completely tangential debate as to why the guy used as an example of their 8th F would never be the one exposed in the draft.)

Of course it’s easier to use the Sabres, because they don’t have anyone who’ll be missed.

The GKs just went deep into the playoffs, though. They had ten home playoff games. That means they most likely made more than $21MM. As a Sabres fan, it’s pretty obvious that MAF is not easily replaced, and Vages would rather go deep into the playoffs again next year.

They would have to make 42mil for it to even out because half the revenue goes to the players. ALLL the expansion money goes to the owners.

Interesting. Still, they didn’t lose money.

They did this past year. In a normal year, no they would make money.

Sorry, I should have said “wouldn’t” lose money. I’m sure they would rather go deep into the playoffs with a chance to win the Cup over an extra $5MM.
