Let's keep everybody


Oh, wait...there's this salary cap thingy

Indeed.

Any luck Eli or are you still giving me a look as if I have two heads?
- reeder16

The answer is no to both.

I guess what I'm asking is for you to outline "your vision" of the D-Corps next season.

Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, Robinson, Savard and Orr.

So Bowman is calling three guys out of retirement with Savy patrolling the blueline with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth?

2 7
4 27
Dahlbeck UFA (younger than Rozy)
Runblad

Keep top 4 together and upgrade Rozy with the cap space

So it's trade Leddy and Roszival. Now I see where you're going with this...

Serge. Not Denis.

Thanks for clearing that up Gramps.

Whatever you do, don't go wandering into the Rangers thread...

Some days it just gets old ogi. The tude thing. The comment was a pure talent view. No comparison between 8 and 27. We have fantastic top 4 with 2, 7, 4 and 27. Trade oduya and it screws all that up. Leddy is not a top 4 D. Not even close. And the bottom of the page cap comment? Really?? Dump rosy and steeg and save money there first.

Quick has been very good in the second period.

Can someone tell me wtf Rundblad has done to indicate he should be on the Hawks?

Lucky. He has been all over the place. Shots are just hitting him.

Why?

- Elbows15

Given that he's played less than 5 games, I'm not sure we've seen enough of him to know or not know if he can be the 7th defenseman

Let's not take things too personally - and that goes for both of you.


FWIW, Ogie does have a very valid point about the cap.

Why?
- Elbows15

Just a fair warning, that's all...go at your own risk...

- reeder16

I agree with that. I have seen some people just assuming he will be there.

They are a touchy bunch.

Why sign another FA when Dahlbeck could fill Roszival's role?
- EKolb13

Do you honestly believe Dahlbeck is NHL ready? I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just curious what you think.

I just read the last two pages and all I can say is wow!!

- DarthKane

If I didn't believe that Dahlbeck had a legit shot, I wouldn't post it.

Many believe that because he skates so pretty but he really isn't. You want to put a guy into the top 4 who couldn't even handle the most sheltered minutes in the league?

And did you just compare Leddy to Keith? Really?
- Elbows15

I wouldn't even recommend such nonsense..

His style of skating is what destroys his ability to actually defend..

Leddy needs to know when to slow it down and when to speed it up - he doesn't understand that...

He lacks timing, and puts himself in bad situations, not to mention has no idea how to really time a stretch pass..

The kid has the potential to be elite but his hockey sense isn't there. Obviously these are all opinions but I think Leddy overvalues his skill-set.

That's why he's playing #5 when everyone is healthy.

Is there any market for Roszival and Versteeg, both at $2.2MM - even as a straight salary dump?
