Yip. My thoughts exactly. It's a possible shortened season and there may not even be an AHL season this year. He knows this and I'm hoping he collects his 3 million next year and goes away.
Yip. We are the only team in the league that has parts of the team that needs improving. Why bother signing or acquiring players that may fill those roles or grow into them. Yikes.
Perfect. A possible right shot center with an abrasive game. I think a possible Sutter deal with some salary retained may be in the mix. Put Baertschi and LE in the minors and save a portion of their cap this year. I think we are good at forwards.
Some old contracts haunting JB for sure. But to cut him a break were we expected to be at this point say three years ago? Can't tell me anyone saw us drafting a stud number one center and stud puck moving dman in the coming years. A step back this year perhaps, but will get easier cap wise soon enough. LE will get three of his final five million due at the end of next season. Maybe then the turd flushes himself.
I've been envious of my buddys hot dates, buddys trucks, buddys bank accounts, teams cup rings. Never thought I'd be envious of cap space. Just never figured.
Yikes. Puts it in perspective. JB busy on the phones me thinks. Buyouts are tough as it just kicks the can down the road. A sweetner with Sutter trade looks the best but you need a dance partner.
Acquiring AP as a free UFA cost them a boat load of cap and Nate Schmidt. I would giggle if it cost them a high pick for tampering as well. Really easy to dislike the Knights.
