Matt Moulson signs with Buffalo Sabres, 5 years x $5 M AAV

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

So are the Islanders just content to do absolutely fuck all and fail miserably again?

Tavares will be on his way to Toronto by this time next year.

What are you talking about? They signed T.J Brennan!!

And he's trapped there till 2018 then he's coming from Brooklyn to NYC!

Brutal


Good signing

That one I don't like as much. Term mostly. Would have preferred something like 3 years at $6M per.

Sabres fans are very OK with the Isles failing again next year. Hoping they end up in the lottery since we have their pick

Moulson has NTC in deal with Sabres

I really like what Florida has done today.

Its pretty good. Not as good as when they had to spend a ton to reach the cap floor a few seasons ago. And probably not as good as when they have to do it all again in a few more seasons but over all they did well.

You're nuts if you think he won't demand a trade after another year of suckitude.

I like it. Many young Center's there on your roster. Think he'll produce during those years.

May have a NTC in his deal, not sure. But he'll slow play them and come here.

With today's moves, I think buffalo's own 1st will be way, way later than NYI's.

Glass played for Alain Vigneault in Vancouver for two years from 2009 to 2011, playing 140 games, 8 goals, 18 assists, 187 PIM.

Doesn't kick in for two years, and he's getting pissed.

I'm happy to have him back, just would have preferred a shorter term. Part of what I don't like and would have thought Moulson wouldn't want, is that he'll be 35 when this deal ends, making a new contract tougher.

Sounds good. What do you think they would even take for him? It's going to cost A LOT

Ah. That explains why he didn't come here. No way they were giving one of those up. That's the third scratch on the list.

Guess it'll be Jokinen.

And he got a NTC so he's staying there for all 5 years. So yeah, I get the shorter term thing
