  1. What's the rush, DIR? We're finally cap-compliant, with loads falling away in the next 2 off-seasons. THEN, we can get a lil' crazy. I'm actually looking forward to seeing some younger mugs havin' a go...
  2. ^ Baer can be subbed for Ferly, of course(if necc) Cost Ottawa 8 mill, & they DUMP 42,000,000 $macker$!
  3. LouiEfuzzyLarva is the lure, & we're waiting(patiently) for the nibble/strike!
  4. Patience & acceptance are in order. We had the best run of the Cdn-7. If we slide back a bit this coming season, add another top-10 to the stash. Nice. Stick LouiE in the AHL, & buy him out next off-season. Then loads of $$$ off the books from expiring contracts. We can handle our 3 key signings. It's all shaping up in decent fashion. Hope CDC'ers see the bigger pic.
  5. If you don't like the determined number, one can just walk away..correct? At this point, might be better to roll dice on Kole Lind or Bailey...
  6. They'll be allowed to Robidas Isle whatever is needed. Hogtown is a key NHL market for the rev sharing scam.
  7. Feel folks are over-reacting. Amble over to Capfriendly. Look at the team pages for SOME of these scrambling, desperate crews. Think LouiE's a problem? - Toronto - San Jose - Buffalo - Philly - Dallas - NYI My word, some of these teams have lousy contracts..& I'm talkin' with significant term remaining! All kinds of teams, from penthouse to basement status. Play it out(w/patience) for about 1 more yr, & we'll be okay.
  8. It could be argued that we've kicked the can down the road, for about a decade(although that Lu penalty was incredibly biased/sketchy). So we go young? Great. Let's get cap-kosher, & see what we have in our youth.
  9. Here's another aspect: I've read some HFOtt backers slagging White a bit. Fell off from his strong start to career. Now they don't know if he's competent for top-6, as he seems ill-suited for bottom-6. at C: Stutzle, Norris, Tierney(RFA), Logan Brown, Chlapik, Pinto, etc... So do they really wanna fulfill the 24 mill commitment they've made for White?(currently 4.75 AAV) It doesn't have to be the deal I've suggested, but it's easy to see where Melnyk might accept dumping this contract, & casting his lot with the C pipeline. Easily a similar argument can be made with Zaitsev. This 9-10 mill AAV on them two, could be switched into shorter commitments, as they prepare for superior prospects arriving. It's more of a $/term thing, where they might want to shift more cash-commitment to the young wave that's coming.
  10. I doubt they've raised sails & are charting a new course. With the COVID-crash, I still expect EM will be penny-pinching. You're right, that this is a golden opp for a well-heeled owner to spend(if he has space). We'll just have to kick back & see what transpires in the coming wks.
  11. It's not necc about the floor for Melnyk. He's more interested in a false floor..as in, "How many dollars can I spend under 60 mill, yet still satisfy their minimum required number?" Don't you think he'd be pleased to be at say, 62 mill, yet only actually coughing up 52 mill? Front-loaded contracts, insurance covered LTIR's..whatever. It still counts as AAV, but I'm sure he doesn't give a shyte about that number.
  12. Alright with this myself. Hope CT does well, but not against us. He gave us a great decade's work..quality character, & excellent influence/example for our next young wave of talent. It's time to move forward, with a little more size & bite on the blueline.
  13. Imagine how frustrated Maple Flea fans are? 40 mill on 4 duds, & AP prob yearning for the Laff jammies...
  14. Would define him as a legit top-5 in Van history. Few more seasons like these 2, & he'd climb.. perhaps to the top?
  15. Yeah..it's a notion. But gotta' admit, our rhD side would potentially be a disaster. You whittle 6 down to 4.5 mill(the boat anchor), but then can you manage a further move? Suddenly we're hoping the Dopey Giraffe can become Doug Harvey...
  16. His agent is currently reenacting the Paul Schaffer scene from 'This Is Spinal Tap!'
  17. Guys like him & Hall are taking a serious haircut! Is the UFA frenzy forever goin' the way of the dodo? Stay tuned...
  18. Musical chairs..but keep distance kiddies & don a mask!
  19. Now they'll dangle Dahlin to Stars , just to get Harley!
