Nothing like leaving it until the last minute to do a lot of contact work. Hope he somehow wins at this. Saved cap with both Gaudette and Benn gone and now have cheaper but unimpressive replacements.

True, as is the sad reality that he was forced to make those moves instead of those he can’t, like LE, etc. It feels better in the feelz to ponder the silver linings in his deals than the dismal reality of mismanagement, behind them.

I don't get how it's the sad reality.. no $ was committed to either Gaudette or Benn next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, he trades what was easy to. I could have done that. GM of the year. It was so minor compared to the contracts he’s sitting on and being hid all over the place. That’s a sad reality.

It's just that you said "true" to a comment saying we shed cap, when in reality we actually increased next year's cap by $1.5m (albeit for 2 players making league min at least) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes out to the same thing in my mind as the bottom line is gaining much needed cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily signed guys in the offseason to league min or even tried guys out on PTOs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Essentially we're forcing seattle to take on cap. They can choose between Rous Beagle Myers Holtby Eriksson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur1 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Doing the cap numbers today I can see why JB is not worried about the cap next year. If it is true that Beagle is done and will be on LTIR, after Beagle and Ferland are put the list JB will have about $27mil to sign Petey and Huggy and fill out the roster. There may even be enough money to sign a FA. Edited April 12, 2021 by spur1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't let Myers go without a plan in place to replace him. Personally i'm kind of over the Schen, Pouilet, Del Zotto years and i'm sure he is too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said we'd have 22-26 before the TDL...now it looks like that's gone up before any buyouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 JB did what was required. That was giving him the option to protect OJ, Schmidt and Myers. AG obviously wasn't part of the plans as far as re-signing goes, because we have two or three rookies in the wings and he didn't produce. Time to take a deep breath and wait the season out. He's got all the cash he needs like he said he would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah that's what i meant, Bowey fulfills the expansion draft requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB43 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It’s simple, we will offer Loui to Seattle, as long as they take Holtby in the expansion, maybe throw in Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
