The same way it will today: great bargain for the Avs.

He'll have a lot of hockey on dem bones by then. The way he plays, he's bound to break down.

If his body does start failing then, they either BF-LTIR him or do that & send him to AZ along with a draft pick.

There isn't an actual downside to a deal like that.

I agree, he's been a great captain for them. He deserves the money.

I'm just taking a pessimistic viewpoint for a spin. It feels weird.

This isn't news. I think any free agency pickups will be for depth players. Hopefully he signs Ulmark and finds good backup.

Right. Thanks for the report Lance

[Norcal]

Not gonna lie. I am worried about the Sabres recent reputation causing them to miss out on free agents.

Just need a couple to buy in.

We didn't draft the other Mittelstadt with one of late, late picks?

Did he go undrafted

They will certainly have trouble attracting players for a few years AT LEAST but luckily they’re not going to be spending too much time on guys who are wanted league wide. They’ll be in a good position to swoop in on role players on day one who don’t get calls while teams focus on bigger fish.

I'm saying. The reporter Lance Lysowski is not breaking any news.

The right guys is all they need. I'm hopeful they will get it right.

I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS!!

It's bad enough that our beloved Risto is now a dastardly Flyer, but our innocent and pure Linus can not become a dastardly Bruin.

Enjoy that. I'd rather have Rask anyway

I'm not sure about that. Maybe both?

It's ok, our starting goalie will be ready in only 4 short years.
