  1. haha yes true... I think, what they are on about is, when you are close having the opportunity to strike... but agree its hard to get close without spending. Easy if you win the lottery a few times, and your best players are cheap, but if you are like most teams, you have to pay to improve, and hopefully strike it rich like with Miller. N to my call with the cap flexibility but JRs... I always felt that getting flexibility almost means a strip down of the team, almost like Arizona, and then build trough high picks. Who knows, maybe that's their plan, although that would surprise me big time. Thing is, if they start to partially strip it down, players like Petey probably is gone too, as he has already stated, he wants to win... As I said earlier, it'll be interesting to see, what Allvin does during the summer...
  2. Yes that is true, but you then have EP the year after, and we don't really have the cap flexibility they were advocating? We don't get bigger or faster on the forward end neither, but yes it can be done... We may of course get lucky and Klim actually makes it to the bigs and that Karlsson does too, which would make a huge difference... It will be interesting as I doubt management will stand pat over the summer. They will want to put their stamp on the team, and also if they retain Miller and sign him up, they don't really want to wait too long before making a push. Many things to consider
  3. I think we Arte slowly moving to anything for cap space territory with Brock. Always been happy with Brock, but something isn't right... it could be off the ice issues, and who could blame him, but fact remains that he doesn't bring much to the table atm... He may get better again, find his mojo, but question is, we need to find cap space, so who do we sacrifice, to do that knowing Brock may hang around for 3-6 years on a contract nobody wants, unless he finds his mojo again. We need 2 good, strong defending RHDs to play with Quinn and OEL... they won't come cheap. Think Myers may pay the price for one of those, cause he'll end up 3rd pairing if we want to utilise OEL offensively. I will definitely not be surprised to see Brock, Garland and Myers, or any combination of those moved during the summer. We also have to remember Petey will need a pay rise in 2 years, and that won't be cheap neither... something has to give. And of course the one decision that seems to split the fanbase down the middle...JT Miller.... it all cost substantial cap. Will be an extremely interesting summer or rather 15 months coming up, as I think management wants to make their mark on the team as soon as possible...
