Sabres cap as of 7/6

[Dr. Lecter]

Right now the Sabres have 45.623 million on the cap. Figuring they are going to 50 million, that leaves 4.4 million to spend.

Further figure that Paille will cost about 2 million (dependant on the length of the deal) and Mac will be cheap, about 500,000 that leaves 1.9 to spend (Without making any subtractions).

I would not spend much more than 1.5 on Smith, due to his age and injuries so that would eat up most of the remaining amount.

Thoughts? It does look like there will be one more signing.

Re: Sabres cap as of 7/6

Thoughts? I think there is still 6.7 million left after that under the NHL cap

Very observant.

I think we all know the Sabres, like many teams, will not spend right up to the cap.

So if they get Pommenville and Miller to sign an extended contract, how does that play into this coming seasons cap? Unless it begins at the end of the current contract. Geez, 9.5 this year between Max, Connolly and Kotalik.

An extension to an already signed player would not be applied until next year's cap.

Knowing it doesn't mean I have to like it.

Re: Sabres cap as of 7/6

So let's say Max, Connolly and Kotalik aren't back next year, that's 9.5 mil to compensate Miller, Pommenville, Spacek, Kaleta and Stafford.

Hecht will have to be redone as well as Lydman, Tallinder and Paetsch

Yes, we know...you don't like anything they do.

The deals in the NHL can't be re-done.

And 9.5 won't compensate for Miller, Pomminvill, Spacek, Kaleta and Stafford. It won't even take care of Miller and Pomminville.

I see Miller getting 7 a year and Poms at 4.5.

That damn hockeybuzz cap central page totally took away from any Sabres cap work I was trying to do

Re: Sabres cap as of 7/6

I see Miller getting 7 a year and Poms at 4.5.

Fleury just got 5 million per and Lundquist is just over 6. Miller will not get 7, unless he gets way overpaid.

Pomminville is looking at 5.5 million +, especially if he will be fulltime captain.
