Tanev was a good example, gartieg and Stecher are not as neither has played an NHL game.

I mean, we were talking about signing guys before they hit their prime. That's before they played a game. Tanev is good though, so is his contract. IMO Hansen, Marky's and Bae's are all very good. Dorsett and Sbisa are the only black marks on JB's contract list (I leave Sutter out cause I think he deserves to actually play a season)

Good points yes👍

Both Sbisa & Dorsett contracts we can live with IMO

As long as JB stays prudent & patient we look good going forward.
The next wave of RFA signings will test his skill.

When I click on the TSN home page there are 6 videos listed on the left hand side. 4 of the top 5 are Matthews. Perhaps you have some kind of lower income internet??

Edit: Belcher, I take back my insults....its actually Sportsnet not TSN

Thanks for the update. Chat with you guys tomorrow. I am going to leave the office and grab a 6 pack. I have roughly 2.5 hours worth of exclusive Matthews footage to watch tonight

Don't over do it, man. Pace yourself and if you're alone maybe let a neighbour or nearby friend know what you are up to, in case you need aid or an intervention.

We have 2.8m in cap space left assuming Rodin is in & Larsssen in for Biega.
Will we see a shuffle & another F brought in via trade or not?
I am thinking on Hartnell, Kane & iffy if Landeskog can be had.
Toss up or out some others if u like to play along. 😂

I think HArtnell is pretty ideal, declining but still productive. Love his game in general and seems like a great character guy.

At the right price & squeeze CBJ a bit i can go for that. 3/4.75m left.
4.4m cap to sign 3 F & 1 D.
Their cap crunch prolly means they r fielding all sorts of calls with teams throwing them an anchor or 2 lol

If JB can somehow manage a salary dump 1st it will indicate another serious move is coming. Wishful thinking i know but an optimist i am. Seriously though i've no clue if an impact trade is coming & expect us seeing what we have is who we will enter 2016 with.

He's what Burrows ought to be in terms of productivity, so it would make sense to but Burrows out to make it happen. Give them their 2nd back and it lets them shed cap, although that second could be a pretty nice pick so... maybe not

Its the 3yrs left that is a hang up for many teams IMO
Trade Burrows & CBJ 2nd & eat 1m is my thinking.
Idea is to save cap space for next year basically.
Idk its a tough one to negotiate

Pedan still to be signed & must clear waivers if sent to Utica.
D logjam has him up in the air & its doubtful he is NHL ready.
If signed & not traded we could carry 8 D meaning an Etem for example
might be sent down or even JV if forced.

Burrows is not tradeable and should be bought out unless we don't have any use for the cap. If were lucky, CBJ just wants to shed the salary and will take the pick.

I might have had to belt one off if he got picked by the Canucks, can't blame them in a sense.

I think the buyout window passed. I'm not sure if the second buyout window would apply to us. Thought it was only available to teams with arbitration cases. Could be wrong.

Carol said the second buyout window applies to teams that have players with arbitration only. We don't qualify

What a play by Donaldson.

Anyone going down to Seattle in September for the series?
