  1. No panic similar situation to JT. And we aren’t close to 1200 pages so in fairness to Bo we need to do better.
  2. I’m going with the miller model that it just took over everything. Millers done. So it’s Bo’s turn to hijack.
  3. What to do with horvat if not resigned by the deadline? For me he’s gotta be traded we can’t risk losing assets for nothing regardless of the playoff implications.
  4. Do you risk watching him walk for free If not signed by the deadline?
  5. The real question is How quick can we get the horvat signing/trade thread to 1200 pages.
  6. Will be Good for 4/5 and anchor for 2/3 but we can aways pay with picks to get rid of him then. just glad it won’t be hanging over the club all season.
  7. A first and spare parts won’t get it done. its probably why it fell apart lou lam want to send b grade prospects a veteran #6 dman and a first. for miller and schenn with salary retained. probably why he got mad at the draft when van wouldn’t accept his garbage offer. So he added …. More D just what the offence needed.
  8. 5 years 8-8.5. I’d be ok with and we’d still eat atleast one year when he’s not that player anymore. he’s still could sign another deal after that if he’s productive. Signing till he’s 36- 38 why handcuff the team far better younger players will be available for less.
  9. You mean a super desperate gm that had zero choice. A gm in full desperation mode to save his job after what could only be called a full on disaster. Brad did good to do the above but it cost him and more than likely he won’t be the guy that’s gotta clean it up. Calgary will regret those aged out overpaid vets in a few years when the window for them is slammed shut because as the article says production goes down and injuries go up with 30+ year old players. They’ll Paying to get rid of contracts. because some other desperate GM makes desperate moves we should follow? we aren’t desperate, our team is still building the previous gm did a terrible job and it’s going to take longer. Miller isn’t the X factor that makes or breaks this team but the assets we possible get back could set us up and undo some of the many mistakes made over the last 8 years.
  10. Nyquist on capfriendly is ufa at seasons end and could be flipped as a rental at the TDL sillinger is only 19 and was a solid first rd pick boqvust is a rhd that 22 i know exactly what JT is on this team it whats Jt will be in 4 years that I have zero interest in. The endless cycle of just staying good enough to stay bad has to end out prospect pool is at or near zero Adding a first rd pick and some young skill is hardly desperate but why build when you can “hope” and over pay its worked so well for the past 8 years.
  11. CBJ have anything good?sillinger,Boqvist Home state for JT he’d fit the age of Team they signed JG need a top line Center cap issues would have to be cap back maybe nyquist who’s expiring and could be flipped at the deadline. And Lou lam wouldn’t be happy to hear CBJ might add even more offence.
  12. Pretty dangerous game paying guys hoping the cap goes up. And if it doesn’t go up what then “oopsy poopsy “ players get paid on current economics current economics say have an 8+ mill third liner is stupid. So because other clubs are going to have contracts they regret and can’t move without sweeteners we should. every team is in a different position and every player means something. different calgary will hate those contracts before they end. Do you honestly think when millers 35 a club will offer him 8 plus mill to play for three years? I don’t. And Clearly he doesn’t or he’d sign a 5 year deal. going by your logic a short term deal would pay him more over 8 years, We’d be doing him a favour by only signing him To 4 or 5 years at 8 mill. Someone should tell his agent in 5 years he’ll be a ten million dollar player.
  13. Yeah pretty exciting to watch, so basically going full trap since scoring isn’t an option some one should tell Lou lam it’s not the 90’s anymore. He’ll be fired before seasons end and the next gm will be able to add much needed offence by using some of the D. im sure the top line players goal scorers are stoked to here that they won’t be getting help and that D is more important. Guys will be lining up to play there lolololol. (Jyst like this summer) Hopefully they JR/PA told lou lam this is what we want and are moving on from that circus clown.
  14. Not really about what it is today but what he’ll be getting paid and what he is at 34-38 8-9 mill cap hit for a third liner. that’s the problem he becomes the fat sooner than the rest of the group when they need big contracts we’ll have an unmovable anchor. injuries start to pile up especially with guys that play the way he does. Love to have him but no longer than a 5 year deal jyst because other clubs sign contracts they’ll regret doesn’t mean we should. we need to trim the fat but also sell the steak since it costs to much and before it goes bad.
  15. Islanders know what they need to give up to get miller. lou lam playing the media with the Good D blah blah guys a fool his ego and stupid games cost his team the ability to sign any of the top FA, he’ll have good d and no scoring or fans watching. trade from a position of strength , D is the only strength the islanders have guess what it’s going to cost to improve the offence. Lou lam will be looking for work next summer while the new gm trades d for scoring since you need both to win. Mayfield is a spare part only islander media think spare parts will land to tier players. so time to move on to the Bos rangers devils pens Avs. Time to give Permission to other teams to talk contract if they haven’t already.
  16. He under contract for another year. What do you expect him to say? Most want him to stay but not many at 8+mill till he’s 38. I guess he needs to decide what he WANTS more is money/term or to play in Vancouver. i betting it’s money/term. So Goodbye
  17. Trade from strength Lou lam can say what he wants reality D is there only strength, only way (via trade) to improve is at the expense of their D. So he really just masking the ridiculous failures he’s had since the draft at adding scoring. What good is a goal differential if you cant score.
  18. Buried behind big contracts for vets and who’s going to score? Really Who isn’t better than the loser Quiefs!
