Re: Steve Ott
Murray said he’s looking for veterans who are willing to be mentors to the younger players in the organization. He cited former Sabres captain Steve Ott as an example of that type of player. Murray has been in contact with Ott’s agent as well as the agent of Matt Moulson among other unnamed players.
“Matt Moulson is a possibility. But one conversation doesn’t mean that they’re coming here for sure,” Murray said. “It’s just, ‘Hey it’s so-and-so. Steve liked his time there. Matt liked his time there, whatever the case may be.’
“But we might be 20th on their list. But there has been a conversation with those guys as there has been with many other guys.”

Re: Steve Ott
This will be the BIG problem for the Sabres...Originally posted by casdhf View Post
Free agents know that from this past year.... Most will ask for a no trade clause in the contract...
This is an issue going into tomorrow!

A no-trade clause from the Sabres?Originally posted by tampabay25690 View Post

Re: Steve Ott
I don't get it. They can sign with us and sleepwalk through the season then get traded to a team with a shot at the playoffs. I can see why you would want no-trade assurances from a decent team, but Buffalo? I would want it in my contract that they will shop me to a playoff team.Originally posted by tampabay25690 View Post
I honestly don't understand why a guy like Ott would want to come here otherwise. He only has a few seasons left. Best not waste them fine tuning your short game in April.Last edited by gebobs; 06-30-2014, 08:58 PM.Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.Comment

Re: Steve Ott
Other thing too is that older players will have a chance to catch on with what may prove to be an up and coming organization for their post playing careers, or at the least, an organization with ties to where they came from or extending/firming up their contacts.Originally posted by gebobs View Post
It would be good to see Gionta, Orpik, Ott, and Moulson working with the kids I think, and I'd be delighted if we pulled them in. Gionta and Orpik have the obvious local ties, but if Ott and/or Moulson do, it tells you they like the place and see some benefit to being a part of something after having been around a while ala James Patrick and Numminen even if the results were dubious. I think the one obvious thing from last seasons end moves is that Buffalo will give players a shot if someone with a shot wants them, and if not, well money and opportunity might be good enough.Comment

Re: Steve Ott
I just have a feeling that Ott is coming back for 3 years at $4 mil a pop.Comment
