Smoker2Buffalo Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Here is a list of UFAs and players FOXSPorts net thinks will be bought out. Let's see, I'll take Owen Nolan, Peter Forsberg, and Markus Naslund. http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/3756644 Sandis Ozolinsh Petr Sykora Shawn McEachern Sergei Gonchar Travis Green Martin Lapointe Dan McGillis Glen Murray Felix Potvin Alexei Zhitnik Martin Gelinas Glen Wesley Vincent Damphousse Peter Forsberg Adam Foote Andrei Nikolishin Teemu Selanne Paul Kariya Chris Gratton Mike Modano Teppo Numminen Sergei Zubov Bill Guerin Pierre Turgeon Jere Lehtinen Chris Chelios Curtis Joseph Mathieu Schneider Steve Yzerman Derian Hatcher Brendan Shanahan Ray Whitney Donald Audette Jason Allison, Anson Carter Adam Deadmarsh Roman Cechmanek Zigmund Palffy Luc Robitaille Martin Straka Jozef Stumpel Andrew Brunette Alexei Kovalev Yannic Perreault Patrice Brisebois Craig Rivet Andreas Johansson Jason York Scott Niedermayer Brian Rafalski Scott Stevens Adrian Aucoin Mariusz Czerkawski Roman Hamrlik Cliff Ronning Alexei Yashin Mike Dunham Eric Lindros Mark Messier Bobby Holik Darius Kasparaitis Peter Bondra Greg de Vries Bryan Smolinski Robert Esche Simon Gagne Kim Johnsson Patrick Sharp John LeClair Tony Amonte Mike Rathje Pavol Demitra Alexander Khavanov Al MacInnis Chris Osgood Doug Weight Eric Weinrich Cory Stillman Dave Andreychuk Nikolai Khabibulin Tim Taylor Tie Domi Ron Francis Brian Leetch Bryan Marchment Alex Mogilny Joe Nieuwendyk Gary Roberts Owen Nolan Markus Naslund Martin Rucinsky
Ennjay Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 The buyout is two-third's of a players salary AFTER you apply the 24% rollback, right? (I can't believe I even care.)
stuckincincy Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Given likely tv revenues and walk-on attendence for the NHL next year, I wouldn't sign any of them unless they brought their own sewing kit, blade sharpener, and water bottles.

(I can't believe I even care.) 381709[/snapback] Correct, but you must buy out the entire contract. Yashin would cost the Islanders $28M , so do not look just at the next years salary, but for how long the contract is for
Marv Levy Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Let's bring back Turgeon and Grattan 381730[/snapback] NO!! Foote would be nice in a Sabres jersey.
smokinandjokin Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Perfect. 381770[/snapback] There's some potential at left tackle in that group. Not Turgeon though.
BuffaloDynamite Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 There's some potential at left tackle in that group. Not Turgeon though. 381806[/snapback] I think Brian Holzinger would be a great LT- not great strenght though.
kasper13 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Lots of crappy ex-Sabres on that list. Anyways, look for the Sabres to be interested in: Adam Foote Simon Gagne Scott Niedermayer and also bringing Zhitnik back Tampa Bay already has said they want Andreychuck back. Do not be surprised if Mike Peca is back in a Sabres uniform as well.
Dan III Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 As much as I like Ray, I hope he stays behind a mic and not on the ice.. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2108120
KnightRider Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 You know Scott created this really nice board called Center Ice. The only thing is he used the wrong colors...

PTS Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Realistically, if I could sign three of these guys for the Sabres I would like it to be from this list of six guys... Adam Foote Bill Guerin Adam Deadmarsh Brian Rafalski Bryan Smolinski Doug Weight I think they can fit in well with the Sabs

Adam Foote Bill Guerin Adam Deadmarsh Brian Rafalski Bryan Smolinski Doug Weight I think they can fit in well with the Sabs 382345[/snapback] I'd love to see Weight centering a line with Vanek and Satan. That sounds pretty dangerous to me.
LabattBlue Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Here is a great link to all player salaries by team, what they will be rolled back to for 05-06, along with what players are RFA's and UFA's.... http://tsn.ca/nhl/feature.asp?fid=6926

At least some of the high revenue teams can use some of their revenue to buy out players, but their will be tons of dead money to teams. Some name players are going to have to learn to live with $1 million a year or so if they still want a job. There just won't be that much money to go around. Additionally, each player will have 15% of their pay put into escrow until total revenues are know at year end. Maybe after each game, they will give the players a few minutes to rush outside and panhandle the fans as they leave.
