dlbalr Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Not breaking news by any stretch but it was interesting to see that Bergevin came out and confirmed that all three of them won't be offered contracts next year as part of his press conference today. He did note that they'd like to re-sign Mitchell if the price is right (keep in mind he made $2.5 M this year in actual salary so that's nowhere near a guarantee). Also in small news today, Plekanec has headed back home to suit up for the Czechs for the final two games at the Worlds. They'll take on Canada tomorrow.

johnnyhasbeen Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mitchell would sure up the centers for us and should be a cost efficient fix. Plex and Ovi both making it back in time for the medal round. It always makes me wonder. Price heading over to add a gold to his trophies? Just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I say two out of three of them retire. Weaver has a house down in Delray Beach, the next town South from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like Torrey Mitchell, but that he got a $2.5 million contract just shows what a basket case the Sabres are. I wouldn't sign him unless he accepts a significant pay cut. What about Flynn? Will we be keeping him, do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one think he should have been playing ahead of de La Rose against Tampa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 But what about Bryan Allen?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Flynn is an RFA, so I would be surprised if he wasn't given a qualifying offer. I for one think he should have been playing ahead of de La Rose against Tampa Im sure Flynn will be re-signed. The only RH center on the team. Adds mega flexibility from the rafters. Able to play wings and has the mobility to not be a hindrance to the game plan. Big question mark to me is Bournival. Time to move him or are they going to Tom Pyatt him.

Just sayin... There shouldn't be anything to wonder, really. Plekanec's performance isn't the sole reason why the Habs didn't play today, nor is Ovechkin's play the only reason the Rangers beat them. I have a lot of respect for the players who never say no (unless they're injured) to playing for their country which is where those two fit. Price isn't going though.

Will we be keeping him, do you think? Blame Minnesota for giving him that wildly backloaded deal, nothing to do with Buffalo aside from the fact they had to take him back for salary matching reasons last season. Flynn should be qualified at the very least. He's probably no more than a 12th/13th forward next year but cheap depth is always good to have.

dlbalr Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 So what amount would his qualifying offer be? $715,000, one-way. (2014-15 salary of $650,000 x 110%) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
