I heard 8 years 5.3m per front loaded. Could be perfect for a buyout in the future if needed. Very happy! We are going to be dominant. ---

Brad Richards possibly to the Sabres by the weekend? Sabres are not waiting on making huuuuuge moves for this season. I have never been so excited for a Buffalo sport to start. ---

Ehrhoff’s contract makes sense. He’ll be waived/traded/bought out by the 6th season. ---

Lets just keep our fingers crossed that Pegula is prepared to drop some serious coin for Richards because its going to be a bidding war for sure. I think he will either go to Buffalo or LA. ---

Would you be pissed if you only had $10k and the car dealer wouldn’t sell you the car they were asking $20k for? Same thing. Pens said straight up “this is how much money we have left to offer, you have 1 day to take it or leave it, there’s no negotiation”. I don’t see what they can be pissed about. They’d be idiots to not think he’d pull this though, he’s always been a whiner and went to the highest bidder all the time (ie: the KHL). ---

We need people who can score on the front line. Obviously he proved himself enough for the Sabres scouts to scoop him up without even making an offer to Brad Richards. IMO Richards would be a waste of whats left in our cap considering that Pegula is willing to train/ send any of the new guys to the Amerks to freshen up. I like the move and think it will add to our already building team. I think Richards will end up going to the Kings. They are pushing harrrrrd to get him. So much as to bring Kobe and Gretzky into the picture and try to persuade Richards on the LA lifestyle. ---

I did read something that they offered him 60 mil, but he declined. They seem to think he doesn’t want to go there. Also, the Rangers are still in it. They have lots of loot and they are willing to spend it on him.
