Right now I am thinking we should just resign Miller and Vanek. We would still have enough money to sign 1 or 2 quality players from the loaded free agent market of 2014. If Malkin somehow makes it to free agency, I would expect Pegula would offer him the biggest contract in NHL history. If he were to sign and we have a ton of cap space in his first year, could we give him like 20 million in year one, which would all go against the cap that year and keep him at a much lower salary for the rest of the contract? Is that how the new CBA works?

First of all, the 2014 FA class looks loaded because they cannot be signed to extensions.Right now I am thinking we should just resign Miller and Vanek.

Lindback's glove side, is like Enroth's 5 hole...
Miller to Chicago for Crawford, McNeill, Kruger.

What is funny is your response to my post. It is perfectly logical to think that Malkin may want to get out of Crosby's shadow and find a new team where he can be the leader. This could cause Malkin to decline resigning with the Penguins. If this happens do you seriously think Pegula won't offer Malkin an absolutely huge contract, because he will.
As far as the money question is concerned, I work full time and go to UB full time, so I really haven't had time to go over the particulars of the new CBA. I figured if I asked on hockey's futrure I would get the info I was looking for without having ot search for it. If that is funny to you then I guess you can laugh but I have watched pretty much every Sabres game since I was 9 years old and I know my ****.
Next time if you have something informative or interesting to add I would like to hear it. Otherwise try to post something of value that doesn't make you look like a jerk.
Islanders maybe? They're window is opening and nabakov is old and a below average starter
