  1. I hope so. I wonder what the gap is... team at 50 mil, Bo at 60 over 8 years?
  2. its was kind of a no win situation for the team. If he'd stayed on the 50 man roster its a distraction for the team all year, but I guess they could have waived him and then just sent him home. Benning also figured he could use the cap space. Frankly we shouldn't have re-signed him in the first place and just moved him for anything but that wasn't in the card because of his high draft status. Just a situation of crap choices all around.

    Bridging Bo?

    Can't really see this happening, Bo has a built in 'bridge' already - wait one year and test free agency in a year with RoR and Larkin setting high bars.
  4. I was hoping for Bo and Miller to land under 15 mil combined, hopefully thats still possible. I do think Millers deal should give the team a bit of leverage but we'll see. JR/PA run such a tight ship its hard to know whats going on, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bo starts camp still in negotiations for an extension.
  5. could be, a few guys like Blueger are UFAs after next season.
  6. comparing Bo to Nugget is like comparing a bull to a chihuahua.
  7. I guess that sweep really didn't sit well with management. Must have viewed Hubie as too soft? dunno. I'd be curious to know how much input Maurice had in the deal.
  8. I guess I'd ask what do we fix first? the d, or a 3C in the style you're talking about?
  9. I'm not arguing preference, I'm arguing the best fit for the pieces we have. For sure there are things we'd like, but we have what we have.
  10. I could see that developed down the road with some prospects or SHL signings.... but for now I don't see how we upgrade he d and afford to get that high a quality 3C. I don't know if Karlsson can be that guy in 2 years? that would be nice. No its not ideal, but the 3 scoring line idea might fit Bourdreau's style best for now.
  11. IMO we can and should. I'd be shocked if Bo was actually moved, for a bunch of reasons including you'd never get the value back for him. I think the "3C" idea isn't correct for Bo or this team, its not going to be built or run like a classic 2 scoring 2 shutdown group. Its 3 scoring lines that are good defensively and one grinder line.
  12. if thats true then FLA gave up way too much for Tkatpuke.
  13. Jesus this guy must be a piece of work, what the hell has to happen to a person to do this? I guess drugs and jail time.
  14. I'm hoping we try to lock him up after next season. Lets go full Stutzle with this kid
  15. maybe it was to smoke him out? dunno. I'm originally from the Saskatoon area so I know the territory. I'm impressed they got him, there's just so many places a person could go. Add to that maybe getting some assistance and 4 days seems like a major win for the police.
  16. thats an interesting way to look at it, although each of those 64 spots are not created equal. I guess for me I'd be upset at Bo being traded for Weegar, but Shea Theodore? thats a different animal.
  17. fair enough. I was thinking more of the Weber in his prime type of moves, vs. guys that can step in and fill parts of a role.
