Your right. That excludes @thejazz97 .

You get cudo's from me. I paid into Ottawa's future success for some of those play off assets. Even when it looked funny. And nothing wrong with getting some jam for play off players. And I have worked with the current Vegas GM. And top end teams that needed to clear cap. And mid teams. Its the ones who don't want players, but don't actually have a line up I would question.
-
At the end of the day? Bottom end GM's not improving their teams? And top end teams not dealing with their cap? I would think the exec committee just need to see enough activity and effort to keep their teams. Teams that don't look right? Get a nudge from owners to improve. At least explain their strategy. Or get fired. Haven't logged on to CDC in 7 weeks during summer while over the cap? Maybe CDC Puck is not for you. Maybe this goes on behind closed doors already. I probably should not assume it is ins't?

I think that there is merit to this conversation. But also an important debate on doing so. Do all lower tier teams try to field legitimate teams? Offer them a roster player, even inexpensively? Even for free? They want Henrik Borgstrom or Juuso Valimaki thrown in. If they have no obligation to field a legitimate team? The market is also stunted. Bottom end teams don't want actual players. So we can gift them some waiver players. They are just going to trade these free waiver players away & retain cap anyway.. And the problem will compound. Repeat itself? They don't want the boost. It hurts their tank.

Isnt he a Canadian Joe, from Sherwood Park AB? In seriousness, I liked your post. I believe teams, including myself just need to make do? I'm not 1005. Going to read and listen to what people have to say. Then vote

Hi Jazz or @Master Mind The 50% salary retention on Cedric does not appear to have been entered. Any chance it could be fixed please?

So another off season trade made. Thanks Jazzy for processing & @apollo. Conversation started when I offered Drasaitl for Crosby. In spite of that, conversations remained civil. I had fun chatting with you Apollo! From our end we're buyers of play off assets. And we paid a good young D, a good young pivot. For a bit more veteran & also good depth pivot on Tampa, plus some cap savings. We could not have played any of our other young players with the cap Forsling & Shore had. Not sure we're ahead of Inane yet for 2knd in the division? But our play off team is picking up oomph. Another larger & similar trade pending. More inquiries welcome.

Talks heating up on several players, more than one deal in the works! Brandon Saad available 50% retained for futures or play off players. Leon Draisaitl almost moved once in a block buster. No saying we will move Leon, but we're listening. Boston's key goal now to deadline, a sh!t hot play off goalie...

I love this post. Encapsulates my thoughts really well! If we were critical? And I am definitely a supporter! Has Travis resolved how to get solid D from our team? With good goaltending, we have still been in the bottom of the league in goals against. With (?) great penalty killers in Beagle, Tanev, Edler, Sutter, Bo? We are well below average in PK. Is it still personnel? If we can role out good role players, but still not kill penalties effectively… I'll give our PP a pass. Pettersson was a rookie, Edler not the worlds best PP captain. And we missed guys like Miller or Ferland to cover the walls on the PP. I suppose you could argue Pouliot, Hutton, Gudbrandson, too many weal links defensively. No real puck mover to save time in our end. I believe Benn is an upgrade, Myers a modest one, Hughes a great help in getting out of our zone. He will also boost our PP! I want to see defensive, PP & PK strategic improvement from Green's systems this year, considering potentially better personnel?

What Are You Listening To...Canadian Edition.

Yup, I don't get that you are doing more than picking on his +/-. What did I miss?
-
You have essentially said the same thing three times in three posts. Now a 4th. Without adding anything. The point was made on the first go... This is better. Positive at least? Still short of a lot of substance. If you have anything regarding what will improve his +/-? That would be better. Look at Dungass's comment? Its critical. But had some observation, some points about where he could improve. What he did that was exciting.
-
Fabbro is still a good pick.

Did you come to the thread just to crap on the player? Got anything else...

Boston, what are our goals left for the off season? We want a play off starting goalie said Canuck Surfer! And other opportunities to improve our play off roster Young assets that will be available; > Henrik Borgstrom > Nolan Patrick > Oliver Kylington > Devin Shore Key players, maybe even blockbuster deals will be considered; > Leon Draisaitl > William Nylender > John Gibson > Brady Skjei > Brandon Saad We also have two first round picks, may consider stud young D men Jusso Valimaki & Adam Fox. But they are not lottery prizes for salary, full stop. Serious inquiries only that wish to help us deliver a play off roster. Which includes improving our roster and balancing cap. We have already had 15 plus requests for Adam Fox, literally every GM I spoke to. And close to that for Valimaki. Who has play off assets that is willing to work with us?
