you just argued with me in this thread yesterday/today about BUF not spending money in FA and building from within.
Then posted this AGM with 3 FA signings where you are overpaying at least 2/3 of them lol

Asplund>Copp

Love the Kuemper and Manson signings, both term and AAV (might need to spend more on Manson, tho). Love Copp as a player, but don't think bringing him in to block out Asplund is smart. Asplund is developing into one of the best 2-way players in the league, both facilitating offense and shutting down the opposition at 5v5 and PK.

direct shot at your post my guy, its a sarcastic post.... the only way to get guys in FA for buff is overpay. See how stupid that is??? Thank you for proving my point. We have guys in Asplund, girgs, etc that can fill out lines. We dont need to go make a big FA splash

I dont think they actually do much of anything in FA other than address a goalie to work with upl and maybe a RD. This dude on another post said if sabres want playoffs they should go spend money in FA but theres options from within and just kinda showing that with this post. I do like the signings but i think sabres have pieces in the system and the process is working

has it ever crossed your mind to just sign these FA without overpaying them?
Manson 4x4
Kuemper 6x6
Copp 4 x 4.75

BUF improves and doesnt pay delusional prices. In non of my previous posts/comments did i ever support the idea of overpaying FA to sign. Thats some delusional narrative you plugged yourself

The asplund slander

"has it ever crossed your mind" that players get over paid more often than not in FA because theres multiple teams creating a bidding war around players. And you think that Manson is going to take a pay cut and copp is going to take a tiny raise?? just not realistic prices you put on these guys

If you think 4x4 to Manson is a pay cut, you are sadly mistaken

Hes coming off 4 years at 4.1 AAV???? Like its a pay cut lmao, im not sure how you argue that. numbers are numbers

TAXES!! INCOME. TAXES!!!
California has some of the highest US tax rates.
4.1mil in California is less take home pay than 4mil in pretty much any other state.

NY taxes almost identical to cali
