If we want to be a cup contender in the next few years we absolutely will. The team still needs a top 6 fwd and top pair d-man. That's not going to come cheap.

Moulson is tradable
And also a cheap buyout candidate the last 2-3yrs of his deal
I get your point,
You're just overly worried about nothing

U need to show me exactly how that's gonna "cripple us later on"
Most of the $$$ has already been paid to him
So even if we can't trade him,
He's a cheap buyout
The Cap won't be an issue

- jdfitz77


If bought out in 2017:

Buyout cap hit 2.83 mil, 3.83 mil for the following 2 years.

Think about this one for a second.

Yandle I would love but it's hard to bet on Buffalo in free agency for the big time players. Even if they did, still makes things tricky when those youngsters are up for raises and moulson's cap hit is still kicking around.

We landed Moulson, anything is possible

I think he's Boston bound. Id love to see us take one of the ducks d-men on account of their budget problems. Is there much beyond Yandle as far as free agent d-men go?

He's a righty though. They'd have way too many at that point

Big Buff reunited with Kane...NOT gonna happen

Yandle is an option but that's going to be a massive $7million plus contract

So we win in dramatic fashion today in a come from behind victory over Ryan Miller and the Nucks today, but instead of being happy about the win, some of you want to piss and moan about Matt Moulson or Josh Gorges or whoever. It's like this after every game, jesus. I swear some of you wouldn't be happy if we won the SC. How about praise for Risto, who is turning the corner in a big way. Or Ullmark shutting the door making 35 saves. (frank).

If by come from behind you mean we got horribly outshot, you are correct. We were never actually behind on the scoreboard at any point though.

I'm super glad that the kids are the ones stepping up and getting the job done when need be. Gives me a lot of hope for things to keep trending up.

It just gets so frustrating reading some of the comments after games sometimes. Not every player on the team is an all star but this team has taken some huge strides this year and I think there is a lot to be excited about. The kids are impressive and I'm particularly pleased with the coaching staff. Who the (frank) cares about Matt Moulson, we (frank)ing won today.

Why did we need Matt Moulson last year? The signing was pointless

We could have got the same production from someone like Lee Stempniak or Brad Boyes this season, and not been strapped to an aging player.

We needed his cap hit and that he was somewhat quality.

I think a few of us realize that we still are a year or so away, so that's why we are talking about Moulson.

I have suffered through the worst hockey ever over the past few years. I am looking forward to a championship team. Not a mediocre one. Beating the Canucks isn't that exciting IMO

On that note:

Have for quite a while, today was not his best day defensively, particularly the first period. And I have to wonder how much of that is coaching style (aggressive) and how much is gorges.

Edit: We won, but played poorly, especially in the first. Good on Ullmark for keeping us in there but the criticism is deserved.

I think 2 hours after the six buffalo wins this board has turned into a b*tch fest about certain players or Bylsma. When this team has their 05/06 breakout season a lot of those people will be still immersed in the negative.

This is a fun season. People should enjoy it because it's the last one without expectations.

Im happy they won. Does that somehow make Moulson's contract better or worse though? The conversation really didn't have much to do with the game itself.

I think the point is instead of talking about the positives from the game especially a win, the topic of choice turns into a female dog fest about a players contract...so as always it goes to a negative topic.

Fair enough but how much conversation can you really have about how great eichel is? A couple of "agreed" posts then *crickets*
