That second one is gonna raise havoc with our roster.

It will for a lot of teams. Main thing to remember is we can only lose one guy. Eichel, Sam, ROR, Okposo, Carrier?, Ennis? are the forwards we would save. There's a spot in there for one more. Bailey isn't required at that time I believe, Nylander definitely isn't.
On Defense we'd probably save McCabe, Risto, and Bogo depending on if we still need to. That leaves a spot for another. If we do trade for one he'd likely be saved as well. Guhle won't need to be saved and he's the only prospect I'd really be a bit worried about.

EDIT: Oh snap, it's only 3 defensemen allowed to be saved. Well that's awkward. Hopefully Murray was right when he said we don't HAVE to protect Bogo.

We'll probably lose someone like Larsson or, if they want one of our prospects, maybe Carrier or Baptiste. I guess I can live with that.

I agree. Roster is pretty full atm.

The Hockey News keeps saying that we have a "log jam" at wing, particularly when they were mentioning Nylander. We have potential wingers but I could easily see us bringing on a free agent and not shipping one out. You make D-lo the extra forward in that case

Kane-ROR-Okposo
Pirri-Eichel-Reinhart
Moulson-Girgensons-Ennis
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta
Deslauries

Don't think I'm missing anybody.

Did the NHL get rid of the rule that you need to have a certain % of your teams cap exposed? Not seeing that rule anywhere when I look, now.

Requested a trade out of Chicago who drafted him in the 2nd round. Florida shipped him off to Anaheim after a productive season for a 4th round pick. Then Anaheim doesn't even tender him a qualifying offer.

exactly there's gotta be a reason that teams know about with him that we dont

So Hudler signed for 1 year @ $2 million?

I would have given him a 2 year $6 million deal. He is going to produce well in Dallas

there was an interesting debate about that last night on twitter. not sure where he fits into their line up. Based on fwd usage last year. Benn, Seguin, Spezza, Sharp...Eaves was their 5th most used forward. Ruff doesnt lean on Eakin, Hemsky, or Nichushkin at all.

Rumblings that Nichushkin might not come back from Russia now...so Hudler might be his replacement. Hudler can play but just he might be slotted as a 3rd line guy on that roster

Craig Rivet has literally explained the downside of a Risto bridge deal to Andrew Peters 100 times in plain English. Peters still cannot grasp the concept. It's unbelievable...

I thought I remember hearing people here talking about the Point Break remake, but I don't remember if it was good talk or bad talk. Has anybody seen it? Is it any good? I know it's not really a shot for shot remake, it's more "in the spirit of". Because I don't remember sky diving/BASE jumping in the original.

I just want to know if it's worth a watch.

It's terrible but watch it anyways.

Peters hasn't even figured out what downside means let alone what concept means.

If that's the case I'm glad we didn't draft him... Because a lot of us wanted to at the time.

Hes a talent, but hes getting jerked around in Dallas. Sometimes you just need to let kids with that sort of offensive talent go out there and dangle.
