Gotta love those 3 year deals

Devils decline

What makes u think a Cirelli offersheet could actually happen?

Tampa would surely match that even if he did sign it

TB have about $4M. Need to sign Sergachev and Cernak as well, get a top4 RD. But agreed, TBL would probably match it

Not to mention that next year they will be in even a tougher spot. I think that they are in trouble now that Stevie Y is gone.

I’d love to get Cirelli
But i gotta think they figure out a way to keep him somehow

Cirelli has to sign (doubtful) , why would NJ move Bratt for another arguably worse Subban

Stevie Y is the reason they’re in the position they are. He gave out horrible contracts to half the team and threw in NMC and NTC for pretty much everyone. I don’t know why everyone has this idea that he was a great GM.

He did a great job for the players and looked out for their best interests as well as the team. Signing guys for less than market value by guaranteeing them control of their own futures.
They're in this predicament because of Brisebois signing Vasilevskiy and Gourde to their deals.
Let's add this year's 1st from Vancouver (12th overall) and Foote for Blake Coleman.
They're in trouble and it's not because of Yzerman and I would be surprised if any of these guys wouldn't waive to go play for Stevie Y (and sh!thole would be a nice description of Detroit compared to TB).

Trading McCabe for nothing is beyond dumb.

McCabe is worth no more than a 3rd

No reason to trade him at all, especially if thats his perceived value. Hes analytically the 3rd best dman behind Dahlin and Jokiharju, and way more defensivly sound than those 2 currently. He is by far one of the most underrated players on the Sabres BeCaUsE hE dOeSnT sCoRe. He should be this teams captain if it wasnt for Eichel

can someone break down McCabe game to me? i don't watch buff games and when i look up mccabe i see he plays a lot of mins for the team and in all situations. why do buff fans keep trading him for only a 3rd?
