Speculation: 2019-20 Roster Speculation Pt. 4

[vcv]

Johan "Slot Deadzone" Larsson. Daaamn.

 

[vcv]

Can't recall last time we had so many guys file for arbitration.

 

[Chainshot]

August 1st, when a twice-waived, minor-leaguer has his day in the arbitration sun.

No really. They shoot him into the sun that day.

 

[Blitz]

Will forever be know as Sampson from this day forward. Samp for short.

Holy crap, i just noticed this lmao... Damn phone. Samson.

Will teams use Labanc's contract as a comparable and argue players like Elie should take a pay cut?

on a day if my mom would have been still alive my parents would be celebrating 55 years....

all i can think of (unsure if this can happen)

player files
arbitration hearing
arbitration decision
team refuses
player then is UFA

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that one. Gonna be some interesting "Stats" presented.

 

[dotcommunism]

A team only has walk-away rights if the player's award is over a certain amount. It looks like this season that amount is about $4.4M. There's absolutely no way Elie will get that amount, and there is no realistic way any of the other Sabres RFAs will either. The Sabres will not be walking away from any arbitration awards.

It will look and sound something like this:

I would pay to read a transcript of that Elie arbitration hearing.

 

[jc17]

I'd still rather try to move someone left if there's not a good return for Risto in a trade.

Dahlin
Miller
Pilut
Risto
Mountour
Joker
7th: McCabe

compared to last years top 7 in ice time
Risto
Dahlin
Bogo
Scandella
Mccabe
Pilut
Nelson

 

[Buffalo Norsemen]

Congratulations Jason Botterill you have now qualified your team for New York State and Federal Roster Surgery Grants by passing the parameter threshold.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Ullmark going to Arbitration is a sour spot. No one has more faith in him then me on this board but not accepting a QO for a show and prove season is arrogant. Opting for arbitration as if the organization is doing him a disservice with a QO as a lowball offer because he thinks his value is more is a bad look.

He couldn't even outplay Hutton last season.

I'm not sure what the cure is for the bottom six forward roster bloat. But we've got a bad case of it.

Maybe he wants 2 years.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Maybe he wants 2 years.

Maybe he should just be happy being on an NHL roster and getting a chance to get in as many games as he does with Hutton.

He isn't getting that anywhere else.

 

[Dingo44]

So, now we can trade Risto + a couple of throw in forwards for a 2C on a rebuilding team. Maybe retain salary on some if they're poor (Ottawa).

Then have a big fire sale of all the spare parts and have a bunch of mid-to-late round picks the next three drafts.

We do have stuff that would completely work at the Trade Deadline (Scandella, Sheary, Bogo, Hunwick?) but what do we do with these guys until then?

 

[jc17]

For all the botts is boring talk hes had a pretty busy few months.

outplay---that is debateable.

If he plays 35-45 games he will want to make something around 2.5M...and I dont blame him. He could take a starting job next year if he gets hot.

not really, Ullmark regressed. You could see it, many of his former bad habits crept back into his game, something I thought he fixed in Rochester. He has a long way to go to ever becoming a legit 1.

I think we could unload Sheary and Bogo for cheap picks. May have to take some salary back on the Bogo deal. As of right now one of Scandella or Hunwick is likely on the third pair to start the year, so may as well keep them both for the time being.

God forbid a player exercise his collectively bargained rights to be paid more than the bare minimum.

With Scandella, Sheary, and Hunwick they can be traded at 50% and they can get back a 2nd-4th rounf picks.

My thought is Buffalo looking at a trade with team Z. team Z didnt want Nylander but wanted a young Dman like Joki instead?????

Im unsure if Joki is ED exempt because he didnt accrue a full NHL season last year.

what if they decide to have Risto as a RW??

Skinner-Eichel-Vesey
Olafsson-Mitts-Reinhart
Sherry-Johansson -Risto

I see something happening in 72 hrs

 

[sincerity0]

Is Risto to RW really as crazy as it seems?

 

[Irving Zisman]

I think it's less about that, and more about the fact that he hasn't proven shit in an organization that has the #1 Goalie spot as his for the taking.
