  1. He had issues before all these allegations. "Issues" related to on ice performance. Some guys just need a change of scenery (and maybe this is what Jake needs). Look at Michael Grabner as an example. These guys do have talent else they wouldn't have been drafted in the 1st round.
  2. They'll be still looking for a goalie if they acquire Holtby (unless Clarke goes with him). I'd want a defenseman in return for Schmidt.
  3. Only time he's been able to recoup a 2nd was unloading stuff leftover from the Gillis regime (think we even got a 2nd round pick compensation for Torts - heh, not worth the aggravation he put the team thru that one year) unless I'm mistaken.
  4. Pettersson & Hughes will take a good chunk of that cap hit as they too have to be re-signed RFAs. Even the JV buyout cut a small amount of cap space.
  5. Can always put a paper bag over his head. But the stink of the Calgary Flames will take alot of baths to wash out.
  6. Schenn was far from perfect and he seemed to gel well with Hughes. Chemistry is the unknown factor. Remember just how bad Edler & Bieksa were together in their prime? And those two guys were LEGIT top 4 guys.
  7. At least one lost season. Tough to beat that Kings team then let alone going in with less than your full squad. Only get so many kicks at the can as that window will be only open for so long as history has shown. Perhaps I used the wrong word.
  8. Late 30s might be a bit of a stretch. But both the Sedins were like 33 years old for the 2014-15 season. Both still ended up in the top ten in the NHL in points that season.
  9. It's so over the top (considering the flat cap environment) that it makes OEL's contract look cheap by comparison (when you consider when OEL's was signed).
  10. They probably would want Ferland's contract as well if it was insured. Yotes are kind of like the Bolts in taking advantage of the cap rules (for different reasons).
  11. I think trading Schmidt would be a mistake. He's (imho) far better than what he shown last season due to the amount of tough defensive minutes he got.
