Probably true. What makes this year different is that there are a number of teams very close to the cap who might not be able to match if someone came after their stars. I believe Tor, Wpg, TB are the three that are facing the most pressure.

We have a long way to go before we see whether this might be a legitimate possibility, or if it's just a red herring being waived by agents to try to get deals done at maximum dollars for their clients.

I also don't believe that just because it is a rarely used tactic doesn't mean it won't be used this year.

With the cap situations certain teams are in, RFA's offer good value if you can get them to sign the deal.

After a late UFC event last night.
Not sure who went to watch it last night, but so far only Pettersson, Goldobin and Pearson look like they got any jump.

Thanks Murph for answering my question.

Stetcher has looked good.

33 seconds left in the period and Loui showed no jump or effort to get to that puck. Guy drives me nuts. Someone slap Benning.

So has Hutton. He looks calm in his own zone with the puck.

Loui Eriksson is a hack. A lazy player just ghosting out there. Benning's most egregious error in his time here. He needs to be traded, or at the very least exposed in the Seattle expansion draft. Although why would Seattle do that to themselves?

The thing is that he always back checks and has good positioning so Green trusts him even though deep down I’m sure he’s like us and frustrated at the passiveness at times.

The dude has very low confidence in his shot too.

Yahoo🤣

I wonder when the canucks are going to start playing?

Just turned the game on. Nice shot differential.

Wasn’t blaming but I find it funny that I was defending him this morning and then 1st period not over and he’s already a minus 2.

Man this team is just lifeless.

So true. But agents are (frank)ing wieners and will try to soak JB.

He is a restricted RFA with no arbitration rights that has a lot of flaws on D 4x5
