so far 2Another Tavares victim. How many teams will overpay guys who JT made?
At least Moulson got paid in his career.

the avalanche with parenteau. okposo barely played with tavares by the way.what's the other team, because Sabres have both Moulson and Okposo. I mean at least Okposo is serviceable. He's not worth the money he's making right now, but he is an NHL player, he's just had some bad luck and/or that injury has effected his game. Moulson on the other hand can't skate and because of that no matter how good his hands are he's useless in the NHL. Being good in feont of the net on deflections is only useful if you can get to the front of the net.
I've never heard a bad word spoken on his character however. Murray bashed his off ice habits, but that was pretty uncalled for to go pub lic with it. Hope adding him to the Amerks allows him to mentor the kids a bit, and let them see what it takes to have a long NHL career.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Florida after we pay his signing bonus on July 1st. 5 million cap hit and a 2 million actual salary may be tempting for a cap team with the cap expected to rise almost 5 million. He could be a decent 13th forward and pp presence.
Maybe for McGinn
He loves WNY. The family environment. Would imagine if he isn't claimed finishes out the year helping Rochester into a playoff run. After that its either a buyout or another year in Rochester.
Can't help but think back to what he said 3 years ago about WNY being a great place to raise a family. Is there a coaching opportunity in the future?
Also, Okposo, who came from the Islanders as well. He loves the area to. One thing about WNY is it is a fantastic place to raise a family. Small city surrounded by small town communities that have that feel.
Tavares uncle was a superstar for the Buffalo Bandits Lacrosse team for years. Can't help but think Tavares, another Islander, wouldn't consider Buffalo if he doesn't re-sign, to help lift the Sabres and raise a family here.
One can hope.
I think he'll get claimed by one team, going to guess Edmonton, then gets claimed again down the road.
I love cool stories. Thank you so much for sharing!Pat Lafontaine lives on Long Island.... actually, Miro Satan still has a house on Long Island too. Don't hold your breath hoping JT signs in Buffalo.
He never had any hockey abilities except shooting. He is the worst 30 goal scorer in league history.Sucks for Matt but this was long overdue. He's been the least effective even strength player in the league for a couple years now, it's like he lost all his hockey abilities except shooting.

Two and both play for Buffalo. Interesting. Buffalo's pro scouting should be under very intense scrutiny for this.Another Tavares victim. How many teams will overpay guys who JT made?
Nope. We have one contract spot. Sure as heck it isn't going to Moulson who has another year at 5 mill when we need that space desperately next year and have many guys to sign.I think he'll get claimed by one team, going to guess Edmonton, then gets claimed again down the road.

Cheechoo might disagree with you.
