KirkSave Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 6 minutes ago, ItTakesAnArmy said: So plan the parade for a playoff game, that seems to be what is being sold. Good luck because Chicago has got better, much better and so has Dallas and the summer isn't done yet. Don't think anyone is planning a cup parade. Fans are excited because an add like Ferland for that term and cost is worth the risk IMO. People are looking forward to seeing a team that is actually comprised of skill and sandpaper and pushback, something we have sorely lacked for years and now we need it as Petey, Boeser and Hughes come into their own in the NHL and can play with confidence knowing they have teammates who are able and willing to go to bat for them. I agree, the West is extremely deep, lots of parity, every team looks to improve their roster, should we not as well? This Ferland signing will not hurt this team but help it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo needs forwards and to move RHD: Risto for Sutter (50%) Baertschi Schaller or Sutter (no retention) Virtanen Schaller We then move Tanev elsewhere to free the roster spot and cap. Let's simplify things.... keep Tanev and Sutter for the start of season. Just trade Eriksson (retain 50%) + Baertschi/Goldobin to Buffalo or Ottawa or Arizona for picks!! Gaudette can use some AHL time and we'll deal with Sutter according to God's plan! Sounds like a plan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I like that JB is going all in. But the NMC/NTC kinda scare me how loosely they have been thrown out to each of JB's signings, but I guess that is the casualty of not being a good team.

Smashian Kassian Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Believe its 10 team NTC in 3rd year, then 8 team in the 4th. Remember how Gillis got (and still kinda does) crapped on for NTCs/NMCs? Really they are just the cost of doing business in unrestricted free agency. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's asking a legit question. For one, there's no "hate". Second, his question isn't legit because he either hasn't read the numbers or simply cannot understand them. We do not "have" to move salary to sign Boeser. As has been said, he's excellent with relaying information, but falls short when trying to analyze or render insight let alone speculate. In this case, he's failing on both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a bit locked in for the next 2 years with a few guys.. but the contracts do tend to tail off as the years progress. Not NMC all the way through and I don't think anyone has an NMC for the expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Sutter should be able to be moved out even if we have to retain 1 million. With Beagle and Gaudette we dont really need him as much. Eriksson would obviously be the first choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 and if the NTC or NMC's bring some salary down..then by all means splash them all with clauses! haha. If we save 500k per player for just 6 players we have 3 million for an upgrade for two lower end roster spots...imo they have a place on a teams sheets.

Popular Post -DLC- Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Here's the gist for me. We have some gold in our pockets in Petey & Co., but it's a big, bad league out there and we needed some grit and deterrents. We're getting some of that and it rounds things out nicely. We won't be a pushover team and that greatly increases our odds in this thing. Not sure why the sky is still falling? WE. NEEDED. SOME. TOUGHNESS. Today. Not tomorrow. 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post garthsbutcher Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Bottom line, Meyers , Benn, MIller and Ferland IN, Pouliot, Hutton, and a host of other garbage OUT! We are a much better , far more entertaining team that will be much tougher to play against. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 18W-40C-6W Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) So Dhaliwal DMs me after I told him he needs to use cap friendly. He goes back and forth with me and runs when I prove to him how little work he actually does. Lol!! I also explained to him that Roussel would be on LTIR to which he came back with it’s about term. I said well the Canucks have 22 mil in cap space next year and 46 the following so why is term an issue? Then he said bye lol Edited July 10, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W 5 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUP getting to a cup final doesn't do us any good if some short guy from Vancouver can rabbit punch Petey 7 or 8 times in the mouth and get away with it, and then take our cup from us. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
