PerreaultForever Posted April 8 Report Posted April 8 I'm not sure Carolina is overly motivated at this point so maybe Sabres can beat them with any sort of decent effort. I saw Boston beat them a few games back and they were just going through the motions all game. This is part of the late season illusion with the home record. Teams locked into the playoffs only playing hard in front of their own fans. Coasting on the road. Quote
Jorcus Posted April 8 Report Posted April 8 We are pretty heavy underdogs even though we are at home. The expectation is that Carolina will play hard to erase the stink of the loss to Boston. Quote

Current contract vs. final contract AAV while with the Sabres Hall       $6M  ;  $8M with BUF (Adams) Jankowski $775k ;  $750k with BUF (Adams 750-special) Robinson  $950k ; $1.6M with BUF (Kekalainen with CBJ) Jost      $775k ;  $2M with BUF (Adams) Carrier    $2M  ;  N/A with BUF (traded rights, but would have been an ELC). $2M equivalent to Lafferty's salary this season Quote

Robinson's goal totals in his NHL seasons: 7, 8, 10, 12, 3, 14. Guess which one was his season with the Sabres. And in that season, 1 of those goals was scored while he was with CBJ. Quote

pastajoe Posted April 8 Report Posted April 8 58 minutes ago, Pimlach said: Hall at $8M was a joke. Has any Sabres player been paid more for less?  Christian Ehrhoff signed a 10-year, $40 million contract with the Sabres as a free agent in 2011 after two consecutive 14-goal seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. He was bought out by Buffalo after just three seasons in 2014, leaving the team with an annual payment of $857,143 for 14 years, and will receive checks through 2027-28. Quote

Motivated or not, if they keep playing the way they have been, they can beat them. Quote
