My son used to have a couple of posters of her in his bedroom years ago.
So, I think I could make the case that she was with me for sometime.

It could work, getting JT here...is it likely, hell to the no.
But would be great to see them go after him...then swindle the out of luck GM’s with ROR.

Mitts-Eichel-ROR trade acquisition
Okposo-JT-Reinhart
Girgenson-ERod-Baptiste
Wilson-Larsson-Pommer

Larsson, Pommer and Girgensons all gone next year (Saves $8.6m + Moulson $5m, total of $13.6m) and enables Asplund, Olofsson and Bustlander to graduate (costs $2.75m)

And they have the Cap Space to do it next year and into future even paying Reinhart $7.5m, Mitts $7.5m and Dahlin $10m in at the end of their contracts (2yr bridge deal at $4.5m for Reinhart 1st)

Slide that plan in front of JT...could work (oh and mention these other slugs called Dahlin, Risto, Guhle, McCabe, Pilut)

Core of Eichel, JT, Mitts on O, Dahlin & Risto on D
Support staff of Okposo, Reinhart, Guhle, McCabe)
Core

Not bad, this could definitely work.

If JT signs with the Sabres, I promise this board that I will stalk down Megan Fox. However, unless I kidnap her, I still don't think she'll want to be with a 53-year pasty white Canadian.

It was 5 months before he changed his tune

I didn't change my tune, I said all along they were willing to go to 11-11.5 a year for him.

I don't need or ever go to, I know what I said. Just like I said a while back about offer sheets, only player they were going to send an offer sheet to was Zach Parise.

The Leafs " ARE IN" on everyone. They need to worry about Matthews not Tavares.

He was not a RFA

So Kurt Warner wants to come back and play ? what the hell.

Better check again, I think he signed a 1 year deal with the Devils and then went to the Wild, something like that.

See, I ran the numbers in Excel.
It works.
At first I thought it would be crazy over, but it isn’t...it works.

I’d post the results, but I suck at posting images...and copy/paste sucks on here it takes forever to format it to line up.
- IonSabres

I've played around with 5 year projections, and I know Stripes has as well. The only way you can make it work is by being exceptionally cheap/unrealistic with the other 13'ish players on your roster.

I remember him and drew Stafford being best friends and all throughout that summer that was my card saying why he sign here lol

Jack could use a young Zack Parise type I still say Jaden Schwartz might be the target

But maybe the wildcard is skinner

You're just proving what I predicted, you're significantly underpaying and raising the cap to 91m to make it work.

it assumes a 3.25% Cap growth per year, and starts with 2018-19 at $80M which is in the middle of the projected $78 - $82 as communicated by theat FVcK-tard Bettman.

It you know of a better way to paste those numbers, let me know --It is very hard to read...would love to have it post more clearly.

The drawback is that if any of the ELC guys are remotely good, they'll be moved as soon as they are due any sort of raise. You limit your window to win and how many windows you get.

That's some damn fine Excel work, but that roster has the same problem we have now. 6 good players and a ton of scrubs

Right. He also didn't give Sam the 7.5 he said. He traded RoR for a 1st line winger, then didn't pay him. Guhle isn't there. Scandella is taking a massive pay cut. There's a lot of problems here.

Of Course it has Cap growth, lol!

since 2005 the Cap has increased by an average of 8% annually--HOWEVER it has slowed over the last 5 years to an Average of 4.8%, after large increases in the early years.

So using an average projected growth of 3.25% is pretty conservative, contrary to your belief. But thank you for proving my point

The Salary's projected are pretty reasonable...I'm sure everyone would disagree at the micro, individual level in a certain year...good, it's a debate. However, the big picture in fact shows it is quite possible.

BTW - I spent 5 Years in FiNanace for a Fortune 250 company projecting Budgets and Sales ...the one's the company depending upon being accurate. It got me promoted to oversee the dept for the next 3 years.
NOT BRAGGIN - nope, but I do LOVE this stuff

It also predicts a raise the in the cap (which is probably gonna happen), but it doesn't account for a raise in the minimum salary, or account for inflation. Finding a capable #5 Dman for $1.5 in 4 years will be tough
