GDT: Draft Day GDT -- Sabres current picks: 14, 42, 71, 108, 123, 172, 204, 219

Mitts extends in Colorado.

3x$5.75mm

Adams is gonna need to pull a serious rabbit out of his hat to find someone better than Mitts for 3c at that price.

And there is no way Mitts was doing that deal in Buffalo.

1. You purposely don't mention the term, which is far from ideal.

2. Do you think Mitts would have signed the exact same deal to be '3C' in Buffalo as he did to be '2C` in Denver ?

3. For the skill set we need in a centre addition, 5.25m/per should be more than enough to get it done.

I think he might have done that deal in Buffalo, but maybe Adams wasn’t interested. The key thing here is that it only buys 1 UFA year. So he’ll be gone at the end of it and secure the bag in free agency (kind of like Reinhart, who also left Buffalo with similar contract issues).

 

[BFLO]

And there is no way Mitts was doing that deal in Buffalo.

Why not? By all reports Buffalo never even made an offer to Mitts

 

[Rowley Birkin]

I think that's kinda why I like Greenway on the 3rd but he's not really a monster forechecker anyway

I think Greenway has become the most under rated / under appreciated player on this team.

I'd like to see what he could do playing on a team with a backbone. He'd be closer to a 'top 6' role than a '4th line' role IMO.

Mitts is not hard to play against, if the team wants to get 'playoff tough' they have to look somewhere else

??? Didn't mention the term? Do you not see the 3 in front of x$5.75mm???

Adams, to Mitts' agent: "Hey, is Mitts willing to sign in Buffalo?"
Mitts' agent: "Sure, but he's only looking for a short term deal."
Adams: "He won't take a longer deal? I'm talking like 6-8 years."
Agent: "Nah. He's looking more in the 2-4 year range."
Adams: "Nothing we can do to convince him?"
Agent: "No. He's pretty set on a short term deal"

Adams: *trades Mitts to COL* "We want guys that want to be in Buffalo"

That we never offered Mitts a deal shouldn't be a talking point at all, if Mitts wanted a short deal.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

if mitts was looking for a bet on himself deal then doing it as a 2c seems much better for him than as a 3c or a winger

i was told it was lazy to criticize him last year

a year later and... hes the exact same player minny ditched

The only thing he lacks is speed and I wish he played with grit like Dahlin.

I think he would of signed that in a heartbeat

I think Mitts would have signed the deal he got in COL.

I think Adams wanted to sign him long-term, which Mitts wasn't interested in.

I don't. I think Adams had a hard on for Byrum

Dang. Keep stopping in looking for some action

yeah where's all of that chaos Elliot.

yeah where's all of that chaos Elliot.

The chaos is the trades we invented in our minds along the way.

I love him as a guy you move up the lineup when you want to form more of an elite match up line and put on a solid 4th line for other games.
Greenway-Cozens-Tuch would be nice against top heavy teams.

I hate to be posting on this in what should be a draft thread, but you can put whatever year term you want in front of the AAV, and it would have made sense for Buffalo to re-sign Mittelstadt.

 

[SundherDome]

Since the Skinner buyout wasn't boat raced to the league office, wonder if there is possible trade interest out there. We are also only 35 min into the buyout window lol

Steps one and two give me pause. Stephenson in particular cratered without Stone this year.

Good thing we have Mini Mark Stone in Quinn
