only if they give huge signing bonus, just make the first two years huge base salary and it goes down from there. Im sure there are some rules to follow but that is why Botts is the Guru... (We hope)

The cap hit is still the same though. The structure can make it more attractive to the player or make him more/less tradeable, but you can't game the cap hit like you're suggesting.

Yep. Probably should have ranked that higher but I just watched Hot Rod the other day when it was on and it was still hilarious to me.

Cool beans !

I'm happy Berglund is off the books and outta here. Easier to wish for more deadweight to be purged, harder to make happen. Pleased with GMJB so far and like the direction we are moving.

It's no more ridiculous than people here thinking we would get a player of Kadris quality for Risto....

Buffalo fans totally overrate out players. Remember when Hutton was being talked about as such an upgrade?? Lehner heading to the playoffs, Hutton to the golf course. Risto...so good that McDavid fell down twice and Risto STILL couldn't catch him.

I'm glad all you experts have all the answers for a team locked into their 8th consecutive non playoff finish.

Let's trade Risto for Herman, Point, and Kucherov. Throw in a 2nd if we have to. Just don't touch the SJ first. We are going to draft the next Mark Messier in that spot

I’m not overrating anyone. I’m not a huge risto fan but to say he is only the 173rd best dman in the league is totally underrating him. Cmon dude.
If you couldn’t see how bad lehner was for us then I don’t know what to tell you.

All time classic. Now you got me thinking... probably should go up to 1 over Step Brothers. So many quotable moments !

Side note : Dumb and Dumber - When Harry Meet Lloyd really blew chunks. Dumb and Dumber Too had it's moments, but was just "ok".

Let's review...lehner here...and stinks....hutton in St Louis...and is good...

Lehner in NY...headimg to the playoffs with great stats...Hutton here....and stinks...

But..our defense is so desired around the league, that teams are willing to overpay to get their hands on them...

Let's ignore...Lehner on drugs and a head case here...sucks

Lehner, clean and sober in NY, playing great.

Go figure.

But whatever helps to fit your agenda

Or.. Chad Johnson in Buffalo.. stinks yes but.. Chad Johnson in St. Louis atrocious and gets cut

St. Louis is also worse off in goaltending without Hutton..

Hutton although has not been spectacular lately has not been in the stinks category. his own damn team scored like 4 of the last 7 goals on him.

You're right, it all started when he came to Buffalo. It wasn't a usual problem for that peaked while he was here.

Where were you when the team had a ten game win streak?
