Of course, the problem with that, is that would guarantee them eating into LTIR right away, which would guarantee Kimmo's (and all other) bonuses would hit us hard next season.

Exactly.....there is always the other side of the equation, that no one wants to talk about......unfortunately that is Hextalls reality.

No, I'd like to come here and not always have a pissing match. His opinions are t wrong bc it's his opinion. What he doesn't understand is that the same goes for everyone else.

I think Timmonen's bonus is the only one which would hit us next season (not sure if anyone else has any bonuses with the Schenn re-sign). I could be wrong there. And I agree if we don't need to use it then we shouldn't. But we need that goalie so I think they are going to have to use the LTIR barring a trade.

I'd prefer them moving one of the bigger salaries out, using that created space to fill out the roster, and then go into the season under the limit... they can always put Pronger on LTIR during the season if they need to.

Using up his LTIR allotment during the summer would be grossly irresponsible.

I like Ray no issues with him there. He be exploited side to side, but if its not for that beat-down last year I am not sure the team responds. He's fiery, I like that.

Might be a nice incentive for him to play against the devils and beat Schneider. Show them he can still do it

It's 6 years at $5M, but I still prefer the latter.

Meh. His lateral movement isn't good. And he's an injury risk. I would prefer someone else.

If you disagree, say so and why. Or this direction can be taken.

The point is, nobody knows why he took what he took... It is purely speculation.

I think Hextall agrees with you which is why he's shopping Vinny. But I also hope he doesn't just toss him away for nothing. I'm just as curious to see which way he jumps.

Funny how many people cry when MJL removes emotion and argues with purely facts. The fact that he is devoid of all emotion only increases the emotion of his peers. It's really hilarious.

Just take less penalties and cover the east west passes on the PK

sounds easy, right?

One thing underrated and it showed. When our goalie was good with the puck it seemed to help our d. And the trapazoid is getting bigger this year I think. I wouldn't mind to goalies that can move the puck

Be reasonable. Pittsburgh are a guaranteed playoff team with two of the best players in the world, and he can confidently assume he'll score at least 50 points playing there. It's a special situation.
