I'm not one to nitpick about salary numbers. But because you're like under 100k off the cap, you're actually like 500k-1mil over. And that's an invalid roster unfortunately.

Wait a second, who let Brendan Smith out of the Minors

Awww man, did Jeff Gorton forget to lock the door again!

you might win a cup in 5 years if your draft pics get good players and by that time lundqvist will be retired.

GMBots answers the phone and says hello..... hmmmmm I see you are having a bit of trouble getting under the cap Jeff..... I think I can help you here.... btw I think you are going to need to go to $11,500,000 - 12,000,000 a year for JT.....

How about this forget your deal with Dallas.... Here is what I will do for you Jeff:

I will send you:

McCabe (Sabres retain $800,000)
2018 2nd Round Pick #32
SJS 2019 First round pick


You send to the Sabres:

Namestnikov
Belesky
Hayes

This saves you $3.8 million on the cap and you pick up better draft picks.

Can get much more from either spooner or namestikov


If we are doing that deal we want sjs 1st and Nylander and a 3rd from 2018 because hayes is a solid 2nd line center belesky is a small cap dump of 1.8m but namestikov is a top 6 that can play any role.

The poster is already sending Namestnikov to Dallas for a 2nd & 7th Round pick in 2018.... maybe you did not bother to read the trade proposed by the author.

My offer of 2018 2nd Round pick and SJS 1st round pick in 2019 clearly is worth much much more than the Dallas trade.... I add McCabe to the deal..... so yeah go ahead and blast me for actually responding the the trade that was originally posted....

if you look i blasted him as well look at the top
