Sabres Off-season So Far

[GASabresIUFAN]

Signed prospects - Rosen, Cederqvist, Kisakov, Bloom and Nadeau - Rosen, Cederqvist and Kisakov likely to play in Rochester in the fall.

Re-signed Malone to a two way contract.  Likely to play in Rochester, but could also make the Sabres after a strong season last year.

Re-signed G Craig Anderson to a 1yr $1.5 mill deal.  Hopefully he’ll be the backup in Buffalo in the fall.

Acquired G Ben Bishop’s expiring contract.  With Bishop on LTIR, the move helps get the Sabres to the cap floor for a minimum of actual $. Deal includes a 7th rd pick to the Sabres this year.

I forgot that KO is likely to be named the team's Captain at some point this off-season.  The question is whether the Captaincy comes with a contract extension.  I suspect it will.

FYI: Here are the Q Offers for the RFAs according to Capfriendly.com

VO - $3.25 million

UPL and Murray - 750 K each

Biro, Bryson and R2 - $832,5000 each.

Should add that a 7th round pick was acquired in the Bishop trade.  It’s just a 7th, but still should be noted.

Were did you see that Malone’s contract was two way?

On cap friendly it lists different salaries for NHL and AHL.  I thought that any contract like that was a 2 way.

Thanks, I didn’t see that reported anywhere and I guess I just assumed it was a straight deal.

Thanks, I spend a lot of time on there but just never looked at Malone’s deal.

I cheated I may have been in a meeting with one of His Family Members when the deal was announced
