Paying Kadri 8.5 million until hes 39 is a choice.

Dammit this is a good trade. I want to hate it bc I think Sammy can bounce back but this is great value. Good job

The only way BUF can get a decent FA lol but they won’t need cap for a WHILE

Yeah like this year and next year, but then all of their rookie deals start to end and you have to be able to pay guys... overpaying on a long contract for a player over like 28 is just silliness

Look the cap is at 64M which is pretty low, even if I did overpaid Kadri Subban and Samsonov. Okposo 6M is coming off the book and only Dahlin might get 8M+ all the others are gonna be under 4M

Maybe for their next contract on a bridge deal, but over the next 7 years, I certainly am hoping that at least 4-6 of those young guys are worth more than 4 million, the problem isn't as much the overpayment, but the length of it. It handicaps you for wayy too long (see Jeff Skinner's / Erik Karlson's / etc. contract)

Alright then 5-6 years whatever he accepts
