Its his last chance to burn a year of his ELC

Why would he give that up to still sign with the sabres when he can go to free agency?

So your arse. Thank you

Edit. Also by your logic he is already gone. They aren’t going to sign him at noon and dress him 7 hours later for a game. Bye bye Johnson I guess

What's most important to a hockey player is opportunity and location. Especially for college UFAs.

Ryan Johnson likes the organization and Kevo sold him on his future. Just be patient.

With the penguins clean sweeping their entire front office

Don’t be shocked if the Sabres promote Ventura to Gm and Adams to a President role

If burning a year wasn’t the concern, then what’s the hold up in getting your ass to Rochester, RyJo?

Is there a max contract for an ato? Could they sign him for 2 mil on that?

I wasn’t saying you were wrong but I just wanted to know where you heard it from.

They didn't make playoffs or trade for a legitimate starting goalie at the deadline

The thing is playing a game and burning a year could mean an extra 2-5 million dollars depending on how good RyJo is.

Anyone dismissing that is just a fool. Its either he wants to go to free agency and play with his daddy or sign in Minnesota. The only advantage playing for Buffalo is to burn a year of his free agency eligibility.

Why would he still sign after giving up millions of dollars by becoming a free agent one year sooner?

Pat Brisson is his advisor. Brisson isn't gonna give up millions to go to Rochester.

I’d call Pittsburgh and Washington to see what their plans are and if they are going to rebuild or not and if so I’m asking about Tom Wilson and Jake Guentzle
- ImThatGuy


- Tage, Skiner, Tuch
- Cozens, Quinn, Guentzel
- Mittelstadt, Peterka, Wilson
- Krebs, Greenway, Anybody

That looks great.

Any concern that both Wilson and Guentzel will be UFA's after next season, and spending a lot of assets on them when they may not sign extensions?

Or just get them here and worry about extending later?

2023 1st plus for Guentzel?

2024 1st plus for Wilson?

Actually that was yesterday.

The regular season ended yesterday today is a make up game.

This won't happen either. If they come to poach him, Sabres could easily promote Ventura to Associate GM.

Pat Brisson is his advisor. Do you think Brisson is dumb? That he is telling his client to give up millions in free agency to sign and play in Rochester?

Or is he waiting to go out west or play in Minnesota following his dads footsteps.

The least likely is play in Rochester.

Don't think the Pens would be willing to trade Guentzel, certainly not during the last couple years of their core.

Do you not understand playing a game in the NHL this year burns a year on his ELC contract getting him to UFA 1 year sooner?
