Ennjay Posted July 14, 2005 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted July 14, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinandjokin Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Perfect. 381770[/snapback] There's some potential at left tackle in that group. Not Turgeon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDynamite Posted July 14, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted July 15, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan III Posted July 15, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 You know Scott created this really nice board called Center Ice. The only thing is he used the wrong colors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTS Posted July 15, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds pretty dangerous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted July 15, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
