  1. I don't see the Sens having any interest. Their owner is like the twin of Bill Wirtz.
  2. That's Holtby's actual cash salary next year. LE *after* his bonus this upcoming offseason would be easier to move imho (to a team not looking to spend actual money)
  3. Well anything is possible. Reason why Habs offered anything of consequence for Staal was that they had a TON of extra picks.
  4. You seriously don't think it's that hard to get a backup goalie under contract for a fraction of the cost of $5.7 million? And he's not even good in that role (been declining for several seasons now). We'll have to agree to disagree.
  5. I'm afraid unloading LE at only the cost of a 2nd round pick would be like Mr Roarke welcoming us to.... I still think the Kraken would likely just pick a player off the Canucks roster on a cheap contract and/or Myers (right side D aren't going to be that cheap in the open market)
  6. If you like losing in the 1st round to the Bruins every year.
  7. Problem is we badly need to replace that role Beagle handles. No real extra space in practical terms.
  8. Logically one can fairly easily sign a 30+ year old backup goalie to put up meh numbers at a fraction of the cash in today’s environment. Jake at least has upside.
  9. Or Jim Benning trying to tell Aquilini.....look, I just signed Holtby less than a year ago but I already want you to buy him out because he stinks.
  10. Benning should be GM of the year if he manages to get LE and Holtby off the roster next season without giving up major draft picks.
  11. Even better for Seattle as insurance will cover his only 1.x million salary.
  12. Stability in the crease? He’s got less than a 0.900 save percentage making 5.7 million cash next season. No way they take him. Jay Beagle would be a far better option for them.
  13. Seattle’s GM would have to be pretty drunk to take Holtby.
  14. Maybe Benning knows something we don't (eg., Loui Eriksson retiring). We can hope can't we?
  15. I don't see Travis Green giving a rookie D alot of rope. edit: actually *any* rope
  16. Beagle only has a year left. FAR more attractive on that fact alone than Pearson imho.
  17. I doubt his businesses in Sweden are doing well (restaurants with no liquor license). That’s where he put a good chunk of his money. Slim chance of him retiring. At least not until his “bonus” is paid out.
  18. China needs the West far more than the other way around imho. In any event, it's useful for both sides to have a boogeyman to keep the rank and file in line.
  19. They’ve more than earned than boogeyman moniker. Or rather the CCP. Mao ranks up there with the Austrian corporal and Stalin as mass murderers in recent history. And with Mao, it was almost exclusively against his own people with his policies. IMHO.
  20. And they (Caps) haven’t won Jack since they cheaped out on the coaching.
