Koopa Kid posted:The Sabres spent to the cap last year and have horrible defence and goaltending. Basically all of their big contracts are bad, and their free agent signings all immediately regressed the instant they put on the jersey. The only saving grace for the Sabres is that they've been bad enough to draft high. Their goaltending was excellent for Buffalo this year.

hifi posted:1 year 4 million left isn't really a terrible deal. I wonder if the hawks knew that bickell had MS then they could have forced him on IR with the promise that he could play in the playoffs, if he could. They were capfucked and had to trade money away and they couldn't do that without trading a top 6 guy if they couldn't dump Bickell.

You could give Anders Nillson or Bernier a lot less money/term and probably have about equal goaltending. Not to mention you could more than likely work out some deal with Vegas or another team that has to expose a good young backup, and give up a similar asset and pay less money.

The only way Hall wouldn't have been dealt is if Columbus hadn't spilled the beans on wanting dubois over JP and the three way trade that netted the Oilers Hamilton for the Nuge while trading down to 6 had happened.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:What was different between the Colorado expansion and this one? Did teams just not get to protect as many players? How were they really good? This expansion draft easily has the best players available then there have been before. The Atlanta/Nashville/Columbus drafts you could protect 1 goaile, 5 dmen and 9 forwards or 2 goalies, 3 dmen and 7 forwards. Imagine the garbage available if that was the case.
