  1. Just tank it That is the best strategic move for the franchise going forward.
  2. Have you seen how much D men get paid these days ? What are you going to get to replace him for 4.6 million ?
  3. It is simply untrue that Burrows or the Sedin deals where "make up" deals for their years of bargain salaries. We paid what it took to keep them and not a dollar more. Any team in the league would have paid Burrows more then 4.5 per. If he went to free agency, Toronto would have out bid everyone.
  4. He's worth the cap hit. (4.5) Most deals are front loaded. I'm not saying the 4.5 is a steal but its what we had to pay to keep him.
  5. Every team dives. The whole diving thing was just a creation of the eastern media. And the reason the haters thought we dived more is because we always killed it in the powerplay. Does anyone remember in 2003 when Linden told Burrows to spread the snow out around the net of the oppositions goal just after the goalie just finished cleaning it up ? I do. Just sayin.. This is hockey.
  6. You want everyone to be politically correct when addressing Linden ? Strange considering the personal attack you just leveled on Willis.
  7. Yeah, its a hockey question. Who doesn't want to know how this new structure is concocted. It will be a big factor in what kind of GMs will be interested in taking the job. Most GMs that are worth considering, will not want to be a puppet. This is the entertainment industry. Botch fills a role. Its his job to be on the edge. And being on the edge is not about lobbing politically correct soft balls.
  8. Very foolhardy idea. He was leading the league in D man points at the start of the year before the season went to hell. Hate Garrison much ? And you want to bring in a 7 million dollar Campbell ? wow,, just wow
  9. He had an executive position in the NHLPA so he is not a rookie exec per se. He is not the GM. That is huge. If he was the GM, I would agree with you. Hopefully his presence will attract quality GM candidates. His lack of GM experience will give the incoming GM defacto power over the hockey decisions which is good.
  10. I don't think Botch or Willis were baiting anyone. Just because Linden is Linden doesn't mean he is insulated from inconvenient questions. They were hockey questions. Linden is almost too nice of guy. You could see it in the interview today when someone asked what the term of his deal was. He just tried to sweet talk his way out of it. Then Aquaman stepped in. Linden should have just said stated that his terms are a private matter. I just hope that Linden lets the GM make the tough hockey decisions so that we don't get "fire Linden" chants a couple years from now. How awkward is that going to be...
  11. People need to have a look at the top 6's around the league. Grass is always greener but Ive seen some real garbage lines out there. Waaay worse then us
  12. The Sedins will turn it around after the Torts experiment. Kelser is still here. Jensen has an NHL shot. Santorelli and Mathias have done it before.
  13. Detroit never hired one of the most polarizing coaches in the league either. I supported the hire. It was an experiment and it didn't work. If Aqua man signed him to longer then a 2 or 3 year deal then thats his problem.
  14. So which free agent GM is going to keep Torts next year ? Or is Fransisco going to be the GM ?
  15. Detroit didnt for 20 years. And nobody ever said anything about it
  16. The divisional myth ? Had a better record against the central
  17. If we lose tonight, it would make rational business sense to tank and lose the rest. Aqua man would not oppose this, once we are mathematically out
  18. No actually.. The Kings were 1 game away from missing in 2012
  19. I thought there was no set positions in the draft but I dontknow how it works. I am all for losing too if it literally guarantees a higher pick
  20. What is the game breaker you speak of ? The ....1% chance of picking higher ?
