Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[Krustchev]

My offer is KK, Romanov and our 2022 first rounder.

They are asking for more.

They are asking for more.

I know. I'm not giving any more.

Key Eichel milestones:

- Full NMC kicks in July’2022 - after which player has complete control

- As of July 28 (UFA day) team will start looking at UFAs for next seasons roster building - demand decreases as teams fill cap space

Gotta think Sabres best return for Eichel is next 3-days..

 

[Habsy]

They're perfectly fine with keeping him another year.

Are they though? Does management want the continuous cloud hanging over the team?

My offer is KK, Romanov and our 2022 first rounder.

Would that fill our cap spend for this year? Because our D is pretty bad, and not even sure we are a playoff team at the moment.

we ain't a good trading partner for Buffalo

There would still be upwards of $7M depending on Danault (space assumes Danaults cap hit last season)

All depends if Ana, LA and Minny are unwilling to budge from current stance - no top end prospects as part of deal

From what I've read they're fine holding onto him.

So now they're giving NMC's to players making $2 million for one year?

Some guys REALLY don't want to play in Canada.

 

[Habsy]

That's for the minors. He's getting up there in age.

 

[GEEMAN]

anyone want Virtanen after his buyout

His karakter fits Bergevin

 

[GGpX]

Virtanen's a guy I've always been interested in because if he manages to figure it out, he has just about everything to be an excellent player.

But at a certain point... He's turning 25, he hasn't figured it out yet, he's got that shit on him. If it's not on a 2-way deal, I'm not interested.

Some solid journalism here...

I think the Sabres are waiting to see if a western conference team ups the ante. They have likely received better offers from Eastern teams.
