He’s lucky he’s not blocking anybody from the spot

Super reasonable contract for the guy who's likely to be our "3rd pair" LHD. I'm hoping we get a long look at him on the right side as well.

I just posted this in another thread...sorry for the duplicate.

 

[Rastin]

More than I thought he'd get but not ridiculously more so I'm fine with it.

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

KA loves those 2 or 3 year deals.

 

[old kummelweck]

I'm sure he's happy with that contract.

 

[Fjordy]

Good contract

Love it

If people ever wonder why GMs or coaches don’t say anything…this is why. People in the media and fans will obsess over quotes and take it for way more than it is actually worth.

KA gave generic crap about loving our young players and not blocking spots, and now people obsess over it. Never mind that he tried to get Murray that will block 6K (or that it is clear we are trying to get a goalie). Never mind that we brought in forwards last year that kept Quinn/peterka down.

So goofy

VO should be up next. Based on this contract, I'm expecting he'll get 4x5.

 

[Chainshot]

Let's not forget that he's in their right side mix as well.

Good for Jacob, glad he's done. On to the next.

You know who else hears those comments? NHL Goalies who can make no mistake that the Buffalo Sabres do not see a future for you.

Don't think this contact has anything to do with VO's. Completely different scenarios. Worlds apart.

The same could be said about Jokiharju, Mittestadt and Tage at the time of their signing.

It seems like they are treating (betting on) their young players well.

For those still panicking about the cap we still have about 10.65 mil to go

 

[CrazyWayne]

Average seems high for a 2 year contract but not like its crazy overpayment

1.85 figured you would get him locked up 4 years

Is the length due to keeping him an rfa?

Probably. Allows him to solidify his place on the team, and earns him a bigger payday if he does I'm guessing.

 

[Zach716]

Would have liked a year longer but not bad!

i had him around this amount For 2 yrs.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Bridge contract for Bryson seems about right. Good enough for now but doesn't preclude them from upgrading, whether that is from with (Ryan Johnson?) or FA/trade acquisition.

 

[Djp]

3 yrs takes him to UFA

 

[Zach716]

3 yrs takes him to UFA

Ah then I like this better than 4 years in that case. Gives him time to solidify himself and see what we have.
