Hey, more awesome Sabres news! According to the venerable Bob McKenzie over at TSN, Tyler Myers (along with the Islanders’ John Tavares) is very close to signing a 6 yr contract extension, worth around $5.5mil per year. If true (and if there’s anyone out there I’d trust for this, It’s Bob McKenzie) that’s a [...] As you all know, Nathan Gerbe is signed, 3 years, $4.3 million. Great number for a guy who lit it up in the second half of last year and played well in the playoffs. This dodges one potential RFA offer sheet target (not that it was all that likely) and keeps the honey badger [...] Multiple reports have the Sabres signing 2010 1st rounder Mark Pysyk to his entry level contract, though he is most likely going to return to juniors next season for a fourth season. Sabres Prospects has the rundown including Mark’s recent stats. He captained the team, and seems likely to be on Canada’s next World Junior [...] Marcus Foligno, that is. Combine Foligno with Kassian and an increased role from Weber (and a few others on the roster now), and this is a Sabres team that is getting tough in the next few years. Foligno posted career highs in goals (23), assists (36) and points (59) for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey [...] The Sabres re-signed Matt Ellis yesterday, and according to Capgeek.com it’s a two-way deal. It’s a one-year deal, $625,000 while in the NHL and just over 100k while in the AHL. Not a bad example for the kids in Portland, as he works hard every night despite not being the most skilled guy in [...] I only had to check the spelling once for the title, but as stated, Shaone (pronounced like Shawn) Morrisonn was signed by Buffalo to a 2 year deal. Financials not confirmed, rumored to be around $1.75mil/year but huge grains of salt there. He’s 27, having played the last several years with Washington, at times [...] I had a really long, alliterative title thought up for this but I’ll spare you. What’s important is Patrick Kaleta is back with the Sabres for 2 more years, at the very reasonable price of $1.815 million over those years. When most folks were expecting $1.3 million +, that’s a deal. Darcy’s arbitration play [...] You know, I was listening to WGR on the way in to work today, and I was momentarily floored…were they really asking about our favorite Tim Connolly memory? Did we find a sucker to trade for him? But no, it was Tim Conboy, most famous (to us at any rate) for letting a 5’5″ [...] Derek Whitmore (RFA) signed a 1-year deal with the Sabres, keeping him with the Portland Pirates this year. He was a solid contributor there, scoring 18 times last season. Beyond that, it’s quiet all throughout the league. A few development camps are keeping the beat writers busy, but everyone is waiting for Kovalchuk to [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
