Loading ...Gaustad In The Fold
Jun 30, 2008 NHL
Paul Gaustad of the Buffalo Sabres has signed a 4 year, 9.2 million dollar deal according to TSN. Goose was set to be a restricted free agent noon tomorrow, and now Paille, MacArthur and Bernier are the remaining RFAs. Good to see him back, although the number sounds a tad high. I guess that’s where the market is going (again).
Pre-UFA Player Movement

Free Agency starts tomorrow, but several names are already off the market. The rights to Gary Roberts and Ryan Malone were traded from the Pens to the Lightning, with both players signing new deals (Malone 7 years, $31.5 million, Roberts 1 year, $1.2 million). The Lightning also acquired the rights to negotiate with Brian Rolston of the Wild. Colorado re-signed Adam Foote and Jean-Michael Liles, taking away two more D-men for the Sabres to pursue. Lubomir Visnovsky was also traded to the Oilers, in exchange for Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene. I know there are still plenty of possibilities, but there are times I wish the Sabres were in the mix for some of this.
