Going by what Drance was talking about it’s a way for Lou to hide his cap allocations until he feels is a better time to reveal. Maybe has to do with a Dobson contract too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league where cap space and flex are valued at a premium there's value in other teams not knowing exactly where you're at For example, if Vegas's cap scenario was more hazy they may not have lost Pacioretty for nothing It drives fans, and likely other executives a bit nuts, but I understand his rationale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I actually believe Lou is pulling this nonsense to hump us over from the draft while Miller’s agent and other GMs refuse to make a move on Miller while still waiting on Kadri. Welcome to Vancouver, Rutherford. Where strange, unique and obscene situations regularly screw over everything we try to do. Next up: Tyler Motte signs for league minimum with a bum team only to be flipped for a 2nd at the deadline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracked my coconut and had a brawl with an imaginary gang on the concrete in my den. Broken $&!# everywhere, LPs splashed around like Kesler's little buddies at a team function. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I looked it up, I was starting to think, maybe JR owes Lulu a little pay back; and then went back to the old 'nobody ever does offer sheets' mantra. But ya! Getter Dun PA!
