Ya that won’t happen, and you should be happy it wouldn’t. The reason is because you will need to sign Dahlin, Jokiharju, and Cozens in a few years, and they are going to take a chunk of the cap that you have.

Yep I get it. We are just so screwed by bad contacts given out by bad gms and need some top offensive talent. We are screwed for a long time.also Reinhart is going to take a bunch of money and idk if he's worth it.

I mean if you can get rid of Skinner, and Okposo it would get you more money for your young guys as well. The tricky thing about that is they might be hard to trade because they aren’t worth that much money. How much money do you think Reinhart is going to get?

Okposo will have no takers I'm pretty certain. Skinner is worth it only if he's scoring 40 every year which won't happen. Maybe he's movable idk.

If there’s a CBO, and someone will take Skinner then you can CBO Okposo. You just might have to overpay to trade Skinner, or retain on his contract. Unless you have someone else in mind that you can CBO that I can’t think of because your a sabres fan.

Reinhart and montour will make more money next year than Seguin and montours replacement (borgen)

Lol, Lazar gets 1.4 million?

Okposo will be gone by the time Cozens gets his first contract. Jokiharju and Dahlin shouldnt make more than 10 mill combined unless they have an insane year, alltime record setting year

I will be shocked if dahlin signs a contract less than eichels

Dahlin will probably get a lot of money, especially if he keeps getting better. And about Okposo I thought he had more term then that, but I guess I was wrong.

It would be more like Cozens, 2020 1st, Hutton, and Miller/McCabe

Why, hes been good and shows a ton of promise, but hasnt been without flaws and growing pains. He doesnt deserve 10+ now and is in a situation where good gms would lock him up for a long time on a very palatable cap hit, i.e. victor hedman as a great example. A good GM would get him sign to a 6 year 36 to 42 mill contract

4 years and Cozens has a contract slide year left, or 2. Dahlin should sign at most 6 years 7 million, if he takes another step forward next year

That doesn't happen anymore. Guy are walking themselves to UFA or taking big money for max term.

Dahlin has avg 50 pts per 82 games as a teenage defensemen.

Ah got it. I can’t really argue with you on how much money Dahlin should get mainly because of that you are a sabres fan and you probably watch him a lot. I only watch him when EDM plays BUF. I’ll take your word for it!

What are you expecting?

Maybe 800k if he's lucky

I didn't think he played all that bad. I've seen worse players get more. I'll be willing to bet he gets a mill at least

Nico Hirschier

2 years 1 mill each and he'll be penciled in as the #4 C. He proved himself very useful and has adapted well to a bottom 6 role. Not only that, his positivity and work ethic alone are worth keeping

He will be lucky to get a one way deal
