Re: Steve Ott

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

My guess is 3 miller I don't think it will be 4 plus..
But then again you never know

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.

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.

They cant sign with us and sleep walk and get traded, because buffalo would trade for picks, which wont work because they have to stay above the cap floor,

You sign a bunch of vets at 3-5 mill each to get to the cap floor then trade them all away for picks and bring up guys on 900K entry level deals, you're no longer above the cap floor.
