[Rumour] Sabres struggling to re-sign Hodgson, fielding offers for him


Recommended Posts

How is negotiating a contract make him a diva? Sedins took Van to the edge of free agency before signing, divas? Kesler signed an offer sheet with Phily instead of negotiating in good faith, diva?

Whatever Gillis said about him is hardly credible now that we hear consistent stories from others who left.

In all fairness when Kesler signed his contract he had not yet scored 41 goals, had not yet won a Selke, had not yet made an all star team. He signed this during the 09-10 season when the salary cap was 56.8 million which obviously had lower player caps and obviously had players demanding less money then. It should also be noted that Kesler wanted 5.5 million per year but was talked down some.

In other words you can't compare the situations because had Kesler been a FA this offseason he would be asking for a lot more than he did back then.

The reality is Hodgson is probably looking for the same deal that Zajac got after his 60pt season: 3.8M x 4 yr coming off an entry level deal.

If he's looking for any more than that Buff should ship him out.

It will never happen but I'd love to see a 7 game series with Kesler and Hodgson playing head to giant head. Little Cody would never touch the puck.

It's pretty funny hearing people call Cody a top line center considering what happened when he played against actual top line centers last year. He got roasted on a regular basis. The only reason he got top line minutes to begin with was by default because Buffalo had no other options.

I figure he'll get one more chance with another team and then it's off to Europe.
