  1. One blogger's speculation is no rumbling. Makes zero sense from Canucks' perspective unless Anaheim adds.
  2. How does that make any sense for us? - Kesler has an almost $1mil higher cap hit - Eriksson owed $9mil in actual money, Kesler owed $20mil - Eriksson is still playing, Kesler may never play again - PLUS we retain on Eriksson? - PLUS we throw in Goldie? If anyone is sweetening this deal it's Anaheim. Don't think we're even close enough to being capped-out to effectively use the LTIR. Dayal's out to lunch on this one.
  3. Jimbo don't mess around with nudges and winks. Miller's NTC didn't activate, Edler's contract ends by the ED, and Myers doesn't have to be protected either.
  4. Too rich for their blood. Forgot Pouliot went to St. Louis, but Holland and Dubas are going to be scrapping for those league-minimum roster fillers. So far Dubas is cleaning up.
  5. Lawyers are often like doctors -- they are conditioned throughout their indoctrin... er, education to believe that they are experts and smarter than anyone else. Thereby they are never wrong and any "laymen" are unwashed idiots.
  6. Stop listening to Dhaliwal's trolling. He's not even good at it.
  7. ...when the Canucks run roughshod over them in the first round.
  8. They'll need to continue to have good regular seasons to get back to the post-season and avoid giving Carolina a lotto pick.
  9. Perhaps you haven't checked their HERO charts. Should consult JD Burke, he'll help you revise your hockey knowledge.
  10. Would expect they'd want to keep Rittich, but also that they'd be able to trade one of the aforementioned for something. Think they'd really turf a Frolik, Brodie, or Hamonic for nothing but a buyout? Surely someone would flip them a pick for one of them, even if they had to retain the difference versus a buyout.
  11. He's going back as a returning hero to rally and lead #allthetimras.
  12. $7.4 mil remaining on 22 contracts, with Rittich and Tkachuk to sign. Rittich will add a bit in the swap of Gillies, but doubt $7mil gets it done with Tkachuk unless they do a bridge.
  13. Dubas exudes so much genius, it overflows into other transactions. Cannot be contained in merely the Marner situation.
  14. No worries -- NT will be back late season to prepare for the playoffs matchup.
  15. Hard to say. For one, Neal doesn't (can't) play the way McDavid does... in fact, few of the Oilers do. Despite moving Lucic they're not really doing much to address team speed; then again in their cap situation there's not much they can do. According to Flames fans, Neal looked "done" last year, which seems rather remarkable considering his career consistency. Then again, Eriksson was similarly consistent and had just come off a 30-goal season, but I think most agree that Neal's more likely to regain form than Lucic which is part of why they paid more.
  16. lulz Robidas Island was getting a little too quiet apparently. Is that your cap management strategy, Dubas?
  17. Pretty somber synopsis of the Dubas regime thus far, particularly in their salary structure, accompanied by commentary from the Blue Koolaid Crew: Dubas' Comedy of Errors Posted 10:57 AM ET | Comments 12 https://my.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=18262&user_id=146200
