Quoting: End_of_the_Laine
From Frank Seravelli "The early sense is Wheeler may be willing to consider a proposed destination that also is not on his list, if it’s a proper fit for his family and career." So, who knows maybe it would be a team like Buffalo. Id disagree with him being described as a "cap dump", he's still a solid NHL player who can play on any teams PP, and contribute at 5 on 5, he has 106 points in his past 115 games. He's not ascending, but he's also not regressing at such a rate where you'd scratch him or bury him in the AHL for example....Oh, and he wears a C, not just an "A".
I’m not saying Wheeler is trash
But bc he is massively overpaid at this point, he is absolutely a Cap dump
And just bc u guys are willing to dump your Captain for salary cap reasons, doesn’t mean we’d move a guy who wears an “A” for us
Sabres are still in rebuilding mode, & not spending a lot of $$$
We’ll be a “Cap floor” team again this season
So to get us to take Wheeler off your hands,
you would absolutely have to pay us
Now maybe u wouldn’t have to do that with every team,
but with the Sabres you would
