thewookie1 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Cheaper but shorter than I predicted. I had 3x1.15mil but this certainly works. 2 Quote
sabrefanday1 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 not for $750K??? Apparently it is for $825K per... Quote
Digger Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Looks like a real good value contract for Asplund. I really liked him last season with Mittelstad. I hope he earns a raise starting this season. It's a show me contract and let's see him do it. 5 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Ya, that's actually a good signing. Quote
French Collection Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 I think there is still upside with him. He can play centre as well. Quote
kas23 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 2 year deal. Kevyn hit the wrong button? 3 Quote

dudacek Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 I thought he’d come in at $1 million for one year and bet on a good year earning him considerably more next year. Great contract for the Sabres. 3 Quote
Taro T Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Thought he'd be a bit more expensive than that, but not much. Good signing. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 It looks like a small pay cut. Last season his cap hit was 845K. Quote
Stoner Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Probably NSFW, but I'm not listening to it to find out. , Quote

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. 🤪 1 Quote
LabattBlue Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) If Asplund can grow his offensive game at the NHL level, he could be a 2nd/3rd line tweener. If not, still has a very good shot at being a 3rd/4th line tweener for many years in the blue and gold. Good signing. Edited July 30, 2021 by LabattBlue Quote

I mean this is nothing to get all that excited about. I’ve been a bigger fan of Asplund than most but this deal is a couple hundred thousand below where many would’ve expected so it’s not like this is a game changer by any stretch of the imagination.

Even a blind squirrel.... I don't think anyone ever said he was an idiot, just unqualified and incompetent. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Seems like a perfect fit for what it looks like Donato likes. He’s fast! 1 Quote
