CodeMonkey Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Perhaps you missed the signing of an hour ago? Ville Leino at six years for $27 million. And the rumor is that Terry is on his way to Dallas to talk to Richards still. This is madness. I love it. After Leino there is only 1.35 mil left to the cap and they only have 1 goalie and 5 signed defenseman. Madness is right and I love it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness is right and I love it too Not sure your # is correct - not saying it isn't, just that I'm not sure. IIRC, they can go 10% over the cap in the summer, and then there's this... Buffalo will enter the fun and lunacy of the NHL signing period with $10.4 million in cap space. The league allows teams to go 10 percent over the $64.3 million cap during the summer, and the Sabres' total includes that $6.4 million. "Depending on what we do [Friday] it may affect our current lineup, but so far we still have room," Regier said. "There's a few roles up front that we'd like to address if we can." Any forwards interested in joining a Stanley Cup contender would have to consider the Sabres. Their moves have swung them toward that category. link (buffalo snooze) The way I read between Darcy's lines, if they have to go over the cap to sign Richards, someone on the current roster may have to be moved. But that's just the way I read it. I could be wrong... GO SABRES!!!! 98 and 0 baby!!!!! . Edited July 1, 2011 by The Senator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Leino on there in less than 15 minutes of being signed. http://www.thehockeygm.com/buf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 They shoulda signed Richards. Regier sucks. T-Pegs should fire him and bring Ted Nolan up from Rochester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved/Let go Montador, Butler, and Connolly And being able to declare it a complete off-season, 6.5 hours into Free Agency. Other teams better start bringing their A-game if they want to contend with our Front Office. Cant wait to see what happens on the ice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississauga, ON is a lot closer to both Buffalo and Brad Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
