Not That you should remember But 6 months ago, I said that being married to the Sedin's cost us That we should have moved them a couple of years before they retired or at least a year, as the assets received would have hastened our rebuild That story has closed But your point is the point......someday, we will be in love with Horvat, Pettersson or who ever and we need to remember, that keeping them until their final day, will slow down our rebuild And we should remember we need to move them as part of our natural progression We need to remember that..seriously! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Sort of nice to see the guys cleared. Lots of depth, & we're a mill(or so?) under the cap ceiling. Still would be pleasin if an opportunity for a favourable trade presents itself. Especially a way to open more cap space. Have to also be ready for when the Leivo for Carcone types come along. More size, speed, & depth will serve us well, over the 82 game grind. GCG! Edited October 1, 2019 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" means our GM and owner right? It's the GM's job (or one of his jobs) to see a player's decline before it happens. Then trade that player. It's the NMC and NTC that make the matter really hard though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that our rebuild won't be complete before Bo and Petey's final days? When Petey, Bo, and Bess are nearing their decline, likely this current window will be closed, and it will be time to rebuild again. It's like in 2013 when Torts said our core was "stale". No, we couldn't make real change then, because of the NMC and NTC contracts. However, when the time comes with our current core, hopefully our management recognizes the decline a year before and makes the necessary hard choices. We don't really want to repeat these last 6 years do we? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management of all teams should have that as a priority but it is a lot easier said than done in the salary cap era. NTC's, NMC's and fitting salaries into your cap space always make these moves difficult, particularly when the other teams "recognize the decline" as well. But your point is very valid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno but I guess they have their reasons and you may very well be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at it beyond the core, it's really just better states/caliber of placeholders. The future we wanted five years ago is indeed taking shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 1 minute ago, 73 Percent said: Thats your opinion yes. Well in fairness, I think we can all agree that him sitting in the press box, bonding with Eriksson is a waste of time. Now if he had a regular spot on wing on the third line... As of right now he doesn't appear to be bumping Leivo or Virtanen though. Benning's got some more bodies to clear by the time Roussel gets back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
