  1. We don't know. What I do know is this franchise has given away players that we know work well with the team. We've always regretted it. Mitchell, Tanev, Toffoli to name a few.
  2. Yup, by giving up one of the best centres in the world to do it. Gotcha.
  3. But think of the cap space!!! We could sign 29 or 30 year old UFAs with the $9m instead!!
  4. Top 4 RHD are extremely hard to acquire. Myers would be one of the last guys I'd trade just for thr sake of making cap space.
  5. So in theory, the worst case scenario is that the cap will be $90m in 8 years...
  6. Too lazy to check, were those before or after the cap came in? I think once the cap came in, it was a lot harder to get these kinda deals done.
  7. Yeah I think it's extremely rare cuz most teams are not willing to give up the farm. It's not so much that a team isn't willing to trade the guy. The cap world makes picks and prospects super valuable, so it's really difficult for these trades to happen.
  8. Nice job tracking an example down. I'll definitely give you credit for that. So anyways, it's a very rare occurrence. Which makes you wonder why.
  9. Different world in the NHL. The talent is so watered down now that you don't just trade away a top 10 scorer without pain. Can you find an example in the past 20 years?
  10. Ive shown it lots of times Alf. We could keep this entire team together and still upgrade RHD by acquiring a top 4 UFA. We'd probably move one of Boeser or Garland anyways, so it doesn't matter.
  11. Yeah I'd have a heckuva time trying to find any team that traded away a top 10 scorer in their prime. That's probably the dumbest thing any team could do.
  12. Duchene was coming off a 41pt campaign ... not quite 100pts lol Edit: And for those that care about +/-, Duchene was a -34 too
  13. I think VGK at full strength will be really hard to catch...
  14. Man, the word of the month in that dressing room has got to be "sh it" lol
  15. I think our best bet is Kings and Nash. Kings are decimated with injuries, and Nash has a brutal schedule until they finally play ARZ at game 82.
  16. We’ve won five in a row, but it doesn’t mean $&!# if we don’t continue on this wave.
  17. Holy crap that's a late dinner. It better be gourmet for a guy that calls himself crab cakes
