  1. I didn't say that Roussel has negative value. That's the whole point. The teams with space have more to choose from. We can't just offer the players our fans don't like. Benning has already stated that they will not retain salary or trade picks to move out cap. I believe that Benn at 2 million would pass through waivers and if he didn't, so what? There are comparable players willing to sign for a lower salary. I doubt we shelter Gaudette for another season so we need a 3rd line center that can handle matching up against the other teams top lines when needed. Gaudette isn't there yet so Sutter can still help him learn to play match up role better than he does now. With our potential bonuses, we will need to walk a fine line with LTIR. I'm actually hoping Ferland can play as long as he has enough sense to avoid the ridiculously stupid staged fights.
  2. I think Jersey sits in the best position and could make some decent deals still. I don't think we have much to offer. We would have to attach a Gaudette/ Rathbone to Roussel for example. I don't see anyone biting. We will probably waive a few guys to get compliant right before the season starts. We could waive Benn as well and bring in a 1 to 1.5 million dollar player or two league mins. There are teams who still need to clear cap out. They are the ones who have to make the decision before other teams do first. Arizona blinked and lost out on clearing OEL's salary and cap. I wonder if they re-visit a deal with Boston with OEL's consent of course. Meanwhile a few teams wait patiently for teams to come to the conclusion that the best offers are out there and they have to pick a deal and move on.
  3. Recorded in 1969. Eagles backed them up for a short while a few years later.
  4. Sutter is better than people give him credit for and would really help Gaudette learn to play better defensively. Looks like the options are trade or waivers. The good thing about waivers is that we don't have to make that decision until right before the season starts. It would actually be better for us if Ferland could play. Some teams aren't going with a 23 man roster and will call up and down players; who will be on a black aces squad similar to the bubble? speculation We could probably get away with waiving certain players as I don't see anyone picking up Loui or Sven. We're allowed to exceed the cap by 10% so we could even pick up a UFA or two for a low cost and let them battle it out in camp with our current roster players.
