They were shamed by us being the last Canadian team standing, so now their revenge is to steal our assets and get in before us on players we are targetting So they also tied Benning’s hands so he can’t make any moves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Benning has up his sleeve, but I’m assuming a trade of some sort might happen. If not? Yikes. He is going to do a trade with Tampa again We will get either Cernak or Foote as part of another salary cap restructure by Tampa. At least that is what I am hoping for.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with Bogosian, and possibly Simmonds, but Brodie - albeit a decent 'hybrid' D, something they could use - still required that they dump Johnsson, and then what they paid Brodie...seems pretty heavy in this UFA market....4x5+NMC...that's the kind of deal he got as a 45pt 26 yr old entering his prime....

Is Jack Johnson signed yet? He’d be another great depth guy that should be 1 million-ish. Suddenly, they’d have a meh defence, which would be quite the week for Dumbass.

Johnson shouldn't be in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in serious cap trouble and Cernak, Sergachev and Cirelli are all due for substantial raises so they could be willing to add a sweetner like Cernak or Foote to take on a Killorn+. Vancouver would send back a draft pick and prospect so Tampa takes on no cap. After buying out Johnson I don't know of any other big salaries they would consider for buyouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t tuned into any of it this year and it feels great. Instead, I rely on Vintage and this forum for hockey updates. I’d rather listen to our resident homer, @apollo , break down Free Agency than turn on the TV. I’ve had my final dose of social engineering/politics shoved down my throat by MSM, especially the sports networks. This forum is as good as it gets for updates anyways.
