LGR4GM Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Wonder if you could get Calgary to retain even 1mil on that contract. 6mil for 5 years is just much more palatable from a salary standpoint. Would be very interested in seeing what they wanted because Calgary is going to rebuild. Quote
thewookie1 Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I'd also be tempted if we offered Muel for Weegar 1 Quote

Buffalo is near London and need a 2-3C. Quote

ExWNYer Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 1 minute ago, LGR4GM said: Whether that's really Calgary's stance on Kadri or just posturing on their part, you'd think that the Sabres at least have the assets to match up in any potential trade with them. How many potential deals will be 86'd due to these NMC's? It's a stark reality for KA and company. Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Kadri has 5 more years on his contract at 7M AAV, he'll be 38 when it expires. I do like Blake Coleman though at 3 years 4.9M AAV, would be a solid 3rd line C for Benson and Greenway to produce. 2 1 Quote
Mustache of God Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I wish the no-movement lists were made public, that would help stop the endless "maybe we should trade for this player who will never come here" posts. 1 Quote

Would you rather have Coleman playing with Benson and Greenway OR would you rather have Kadri or Cozens playing with Benson and Greenway? 1 Quote

I wish they were eliminated altogehter. Keep the contracts guarenteed if you want but trades are what brings excitement to fans. Fans paying ludicrous money on tickets and merch is what pays for those guarenteed contracts. Eliminate no trade clauses in every sense of the word. Just my 2 cents.... 2 1 Quote

Unfortunately that will never happen, and I think it's okay for players to earn the right to be able to control having some sort of stability in their lives, especially those with families. Quote

Would you rather have Coleman playing with Benson and Greenway OR would you rather have Kadri or Cozens playing with Benson and Greenway? If you consider the term still left on Kadri's contract, I would prefer Coleman. I'm not saying he's better. But taking on Kadri's contract will create a cap squeeze when Quinn and JJP's contract need to be addressed. Also, adding Coleman instead of Kadri, would give you more financial flexibility to pursue other players. Interestingly, Craig Button did bring up both of these players as players that KA could pursue on today's WGR Sabre Live show. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Yes please on Marino A second and prospect maybe? 1 1 Quote

We haven't won a playoff series since 2007. Yet you want us to worry about what might happen on our cap in 2025 with a couple of RFAs we could easily bridge for 3 years? 1 Quote

Would you rather have Coleman playing with Benson and Greenway OR would you rather have Kadri or Cozens playing with Benson and Greenway? I like Kadri a lot, he’s the perfect fit for what we need I just hate the term and price tag but if we acquired him I’d be happy. If Cozens is on line 3 I think it’s a fail (I know some say line doesn’t matter but I believe it does, he just wouldn’t get the minutes desired for his salary imo). Quote

Would you rather have Coleman playing with Benson and Greenway OR would you rather have Kadri or Cozens playing with Benson and Greenway? Neither, because I'd have Benson on my second line and Greenway on my fourth. Kadri is on my third. With who you might ask? With 2 players currently not on this roster. Quote

I wish the Sabres could do these things. Simple things are hard for them. For some reason the culture issues feel more real right now. We need a few really positive moves to improve the roster.
