BureBurrito Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Thinking yesterday how often injured and a useless plug Lazar was (as an offseason signing). Turns out management thought the same.

This wasn't about cap, he just didn't fit in like we'd hoped. I'm guessing Tocchet had some input and said that he could go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 He just wasn't very good. Glad to see this management will move on from failed experiments, unlike in the past when he'd likely have played right through his contract. It's refreshing to see guys dealt before their expiry dates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until we have to resign EP40 and the new Detroit kid (the one we overpaid for yesterday - wasting a 1st AND a 2nd on) in 2024 ! Give it a rest. Don't create something that isn't there. That's a very average cost (some could argue lower than average cost) to obtain a top 4 RHD. Hronek can take some of Myers money after next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said because it will certainly be serious next year when we have to try and resign these two. Just park this thread in your back pocket and we'll discuss this again next year when reality sets in. My money says those two alone will eat-up 17-18% of our cap if they play up to expectations and are resigned. Pastrnak just signed for $11.2M so EP40 will very likely get at least that in his new contract. Believe me it ain't as silly as you'd think! Time will tell.........

Every team does it. It’s basic business. Not everyone you bring in is going to work. You don’t understand that, Nostradamus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade everyone for picks. Then when we do, all of a sudden its only a 4th so whats the point. Lazar is a nothing, easily replaceable, doesn't move the needle any direction. Why would we not take the free shot with the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Of course it’s about cap. Sadly this so called retool that currently leaves us over the cap and with depleted draft capital will IMO cause us to once again simply play around the fringes of this roster once again, just like the previous management.

Why don't you tell everyone what RHD you would have been planning on drafting this year with the NYI 1st or the 2nd we traded? Then you will need to say with 100% certainty this this unknown player will be a 0.5ppg producing RHD. Won't get injured, will have perfect development etc. Because management can't predict the future any more than you can, THATs why they got Hronek. A bird in the hand and all that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This organization feels likes they purposely do the opposite of every other team and that they could care less it if works just as long as they are different with no real purpose as to why they do things that are puzzling. It feels more like "hey we did something different than everyone else and that makes us special." It just means your really really foolish and bring the problems that come along with that thinking on yourselves. It feels like an Aquillini issue.

We aren’t a good team as a whole but our O is pretty damn good in comparison. Can’t argue that point. we need overhaul on the backend and that has started. Let’s see what we have as a roster come camp. If next year proves to be as abysmal, then there should be real discussion about what an EP or QH or both might fetch us. still too early to judge what this team can pull off with a whole offseason to work around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
