WestCoastDave Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I agree with weaponizing our cap. If a conditional first is what it takes for a team to get out of a one year bad contract, the Nucks should be reaching out to other desperate cash strapped teams to see if they are interested The longer the contract the more it would cost. As for Loui we have the option of trading one bad contract for another which Toronto doesn't have because they have to shed salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just pulled out "aquilini must have said no" out of your ass. Maybe Santa claus and his elves told Jim no. See, I can make up random baseless **** too. Nope. Wrong again. Nice try though. I wasn’t throwing Aqua under the bus. Just throw an idea out there. Nothing wrong with that. Never said it was fact. Never said it was rumour. Just thought it could be a possibility. You don’t think so. That’s fine. Next time come up with your point of view that doesn’t attach someone else. You can argue to an opposite opinion with out attitude. Next time try something like.... I don’t believe Aqua Man would do that. He’s always been generous in the past. I believe he would give Jim full ability to spend money to gain assets. That would be more constructive. Good Luck, moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's focused on improving our Defense. The idea of 'weaponizing cap space' (a term that has become an over used cliche lol), won't work for us now at the stage we're at. There's a reason he's not making these deals, he needs the financial flexibility this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I can't believe we didn't do this instead... should have been all over this deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say it will make it happens, but it improves the odds Teams are respond to their fan bases should we be drafting in the same manner? have you looked at cdc preferences in a recent thread posted here ? nucks should operate according to some sort of democracy ? really?? i say hire the skilled people with expertise and let them do their job placate the fan base with words as required you are very silly in your approach it's aquaman's business, let him run it professionally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So Canes get a 1st rounder, an old but decent forward, a mentor for their young guys, and all they had to do was eat up a 6mil contract for 1 year? I'm pretty jealous that we didn't pull this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Makes me kinda sick that we’re not the ones doing this deal. This was exactly the type of move we needed to make this year, given our cap flexibility. And we also could’ve used that TO first to pull off the Miller deal (which would feel way better if we weren’t giving up our own pick). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 And people are crying about us giving a 2020 conditional 1st for Miller. Toronto gave a conditional 2020 1st just to give up Marleau haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seinfeld Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It’s starting to feel like Benning just isn’t smart or savvy enough to pull off these kinds of deals. We’ve been begging/waiting for him to relieve cap for teams in exchange for picks for years now and he hasn’t delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they make playoffs this coming season. Miller will be one of the reasons why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we let him play into next year before we give him an extension this summer. We do also have demko so I wouldnt want to give Marky much term with an extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakename70 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Wow, the Leafs were actually able to trade Marleau! Impressive! Your move, GMJB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm guessing that VAN was one of the four teams involved in the Subban talks. The word is that NJD was the only team willing to take on the entire cap hit of Subban's contract. If I'm right - this means JB has a clear plan and it doesn't involve wasting millions by overpaying. It of course also would mean that he's planning to use the the money elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrago Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm guessing if the conversation happened with Benning he wasn't willing to waste the cap room as he might want to try to sign some players, also the Loungo thing is hanging over his head atm. If Marleau was willing to play in Van then I'm sure JB would have been all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
