I'd pay for 2 x $11 pints of beer. Not a penny more.

MG locked down players for long term because there was no cap at all.. this is news to you? How long did you think it would take and after contracts are closing you have to find players with that can fit together and play as a team for each other first, some teams are still stuck in that too but JB has put together a really good core and if you don't think that's time consuming and tricky at the best of times and you never know who is going to work out and who isn't and it's an educated guess and the great one Scotty bowman would tell you the same thing, he's said it before and it's true but as we get Podz and a top 4 D and our bottom 6 is cleared out except for the best ones who make it to 2 years from now will be our best bet and arguably our best team in years but hey it's just all that easy isn't it.. being a GM according to the CDC and media is just all that easy right? relax already... (take finger off panick button) and back away slowly...
The NHL salary cap was formally titled the "Upper Limit of the Payroll Range" in the new collective bargaining agreement. For the 2005–06 NHL season, the salary cap was set at US$39 million per team, with a maximum of US$7.8 million (20% of the team's cap) for a player.
With the firing of Vancouver Canucks general manager Dave Nonis at the end of the 2007–08 season, Gillis was introduced by the organization as Nonis' successor on April 23, 2008

I NEED TO BE AT THE GAME
Will we ever get vaccinated? I'm losing it.
i have heard (somewhere, sometime?) that a cowbell is close to a perfect tonic to end a loosing steak. But maybe that is simply an old wives tale. Do you know?

I'm forming the impression that these boards view that a nuck victory rests on the crucial coaching decision of choosing the correct player for this game...... Loui or McEwan. And here I thought it most important that the top players need to perform at their best for this game to end the loosing streak.

The emergence of COVID 19 variants like B.1.1.7 out of the UK, the South African variant and the Brazil variant has nothing to do with the inavailability or the shortage of vaccine.
Question: Is it possible to hoard a ordered vaccine? You can only hoard vaccine that has been produced and delivered.
Question: Is it possible to roll - out the vaccine simultaneously around the world over countless countries, given the constraint of manufacturing capacities? No, it isn't.
Question: Do you really think Canada is the only country that is given a lower priority status for vaccine distribution? I can tell you that all of the countries of the European Union feel the same way right now.
Question: Do you really think that the status of a specific country determines the priority a country is given in the vaccine supply sequence ? Even countries with a strong reputation and strong economic status in the world like Germany faces the same kind of problems like Canada.
YES, our politicians were so desperate to even take the Russian vaccine Sputnik V into consideration. Prime Minister Angela Merkel had a phone call with Russian Leader Putin about the possiblity to approve Sputnik V in the European Unio
Seems like a fair bit of rationalization happening in this post.
I can explain away Canada's stall on its vaccination regime if I worked at it to justify what has now occurred.
There is a limited amount of vaccine no doubt.
Trump. based on reports, failed to take necessary steps to secure vaccine supply for the US.
Despite that, Biden was recently able to announce he had secured another 200 million doses.
Seems Biden was able to gain priority for vaccination doses despite Trump's fumble.
Those had to come from somewhere. Simple math. As there is a limited supply globally.
And yes, that would mean other countries also need to scramble a bit more to get doses.
But I'm also still curious to know why provincial vaccination plans were announced with a fairly aggressive vaccination schedule if it was so well known to all that there would be a vaccination shortfall. Vaccination efforts have largely stalled in Canada over the last 2 weeks.
I am not being critical of our governments, not the Canadian or provincial levels. I think they did what they needed to do.

Again, we were told we weren't going to be first in line so I don't understand the hand wringing and government blaming.
Please explain the purpose of the vaccination plans proposed by provincial governments if there was a clear expectation that vaccine would not be available. I know the plan in BC is entirely dependent on a level of vaccine doses being available. They are not. Why bother with a plan that knowingly cannot be accomplished?
BC is in phase 2 of its vaccination plan. Tell me how phase 2 will be completed in the time frame proposed. My mother is waiting for her dose as she is over 80 years old. She should be first in line in phase 2.

The American have had 300,000 extra deaths, when population size is factored in, compared to Canada.
Nice of you to show up now and toss rocks.
Also India said they would do their best- so not really a maybe.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-modi-vaccine-1.5908770
"
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his country — home to the world's largest vaccine maker — will "do its best" to help Canada secure supplies of coveted COVID-19 vaccine doses.
Modi tweeted this morning that he received a call from his "friend" Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"Prime Minister Trudeau informed Prime Minister Modi about Canada's requirements of COVID-19 vaccines from India," says a summary of the call issued by the Indian government.
"[The] prime minister assured the Canadian PM that India would do its best to support Canada's vaccination efforts, just as it had done for many other countries already,"
It does appear that Canada is really not a 1st world country in the global economic scheme of things.
There is reporting that Canada ordered 150 to 400 million vaccine doses. There was critical editorial analysis that 1st world countries were hoarding vaccine doses at the expense of 2nd and 3rd world countries. This is a serious issue as this is a global pandemic and inoculating on a regional basis is foolhardy and really only a stop gap solution. Failure to control the virus globally will simply allow for additional mutations that in time will require another round of vaccinations everywhere. I was hopeful that Canada over ordering vaccines was to allow it to be a conduit to move excess doses to more needy countries that lacked vaccine priority globally.
I find it curious that despite its best efforts to over order vaccinations, that Canada is being shut out or being given a lower priority status for vaccination distribution. This is significant. Canadians like to believe that we are equal in status globally to the US and other major european countries. I think this shows we are not.

JT has been making a lot of apathetic plays that are just straight up bad and stupid. His body language again tonight, he is giving up on plays.
Starting to question his attitude as a player. I've been a big supporter since we traded for him, but his level of play has been unacceptable. Starting to see the merit in AV's comments before that Miller simply didn't get it when he was with NYR. Starting to see his old habits come back again, apathy and nonchalance approach to the game.Considering how much of a leader he was last year, starting to get concerned that a major leader in the room and on the team is show casing this sort of behavior.
I was also a big JT trade supporter when it happened.
Clearly he has significant flaws which were not evident last season.
Your commentary is too kind though,
JT lacks mental toughness. When the going gets really tough he melts down and can no longer lead. He also is a bit of a cheater. He wants his offence the most and will give up his 2 way game to get it. He is not the complete player I thought he was. I thought he was Stone-lite. He is not. That was a mirage.

Not sure what you are talking about.
I thought it is already well known he is going to sign a 3 x $2.5 million contract with the habs.

[Trade] Hurricanes trade Alex Galchenyuk to Maple Leafs for Egor Korshkov, David Warsofsky

This is the explanation I heard. Carolina had already sent him down to their ahl team. He was technically traded from that ahl team to the Marlies. He has already cleared waivers. He does not take up a leaf roster spot and his salary does not count towards the team cap. If they had claimed him off waivers he would need to stay on the leaf nhl roster or need to be waived again to be moved. The leafs want him for depth and want their staff to spend some time working with him first before he is recalled to the nhl team.
