  1. That's a good point. Sometimes draft picks turn into busts....so we should trade them for 4 million dollar players any chance we get.....
  2. That's a great point Max.... What I find really interesting is that he's a 2nd round pick who is an impact player in his 5th season.....over the past few days a lot of people were saying there was no such thing....
  3. This is true. Hronek's current deal is quite manageable...It's unfortunate that it only runs until the end of next year. I'm no Capologist, but looking at CapFriendly, I just don't see how we can keep the band together. PA is going to have to move Boeser of Garland somehow this off-season....
  4. Yeah, he's been around for a while, but he's only a year removed from a 30 goal season. Not sure it was an either/or choice for Stevie Y, but he certainly didn't seem to feel that it was worth signing TB to a new deal.....
  5. I think the trade of Bertuzzi tells us that Yzerman doesn't see his core as one that can be anything more than a bubble team, so he re-signed his one untouchable and then put up the "Yard Sale" sign....
  6. Here's my prediction for the rest of the deadline.... The Canucks will make no major moves. After it's all over they'll offer some platitudes about how they're comfortable with the moves they made and the group they have moving forward.... My suspicion is that they tried very hard to move Cap (probably Boeser, Garland and Myers) but were being lowballed (or asked to retain) because other teams know they're in a Cap crunch.... BTW: I'd love to be proven wrong on that front.
  7. It's already too late. They had me fooled when the made the Horvat deal. I thought at that point we were on the same page....
  8. Actually it is. I posted my plan a few pages back. People are welcome to disagree with it, but it's a plan and I'm more than happy to defend it against whatever criticism anyone wants to make..
  9. I think Lazar was fine for the role he was brought in to play, but someone was willing to part with a 4th for his so..... TBH, guys with skillsets like CL are relatively easy to find in the summer....
  10. I watched the Sabres and Bruins last night....Boston had a definite physical edge. I wonder if this deal has anything to do with it....
  11. Well....I guess no-one can say we did "nothing" on TDL day.... Next to nothing, sure.....but not "nothing".... C,mom PA....
  12. One of the big issues I have with the Hronek deal is that now the other 31 GMs know we have to shed Cap. That drives prices down. We've literally bought high and will be forced to sell low.....
  13. Sorry. We're a bit out of touch up here in the great wet North....I don't get the reference.... But I'm sure it's hilarious....
  14. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but to clarify: I'm fine with moving Lazar....i just don't think it solves our Cap issues....or any issues, if I'm being honest. If PA can move any of Boeser, Myers or Miller, I'll feel a lot better about things. Until such time however, I'll continue to believe that they jumped the gun on the Hronek deal....
