Avs back in the mix

Karlsson will win you wayyyyy more games than he will lose you. Let's just have a team of Granlunds and Tanevs so safe

Time for you to STFU.











We just set up our new ultra HD 50'' flat screen. Fired up for this game!!

Glad to see everything is back to normal.

Avs have a good team.
I’m glad the Sharks are moving on.

I’d like to see SJS vs Boston.
With Big Joe winning it in Boston.

At the Draft - Bobby Ryan, 2019 2nd round pick (Fla) and 2020 1st round pick (Ott) for 2019 6th round pick (Ott) and a player to be named later (Eriksson).

Canucks ship Eriksson on July 2 after paying the bonus and get well compensated for 3 more years of Bobby Ryan - the top 6 winger Benji is looking for to play with Horvat and Pearson.

So rebuilding Ottawa saves 1.25 million over the next 3 years and gives up a first and a second for pretty much the same disappointment of a player ?

If you actually research it there is a big difference in actual money. After July 1 LE is only owed about 9m over 3 seasons but bobby is still owed 20.5m actual dollars. That is important to owners, especially Melnyk.

I’ve seen this narrative in a lot of HB trade proposals ....after giving up a first this year in a bad trade ....does anyone think the sens are giving up firsts to save a few bucks real money and acquire Loui Ericsson ? Lol

I don't think they're going to give up anywhere near a 1st for LE, but if they give us a 7th and take his contract I'll consider it a victory.

They do have 12 picks next year.

No, they save $$$. They would owe Eriksson $9m for 3 seasons with a cap hit if $6m per season. They also save $22.5m from Ryan’s final three years. If there is one thing that Melnyk likes more than draft picks it’s saving money.

And they get their 6th back...

It’s a real savings of $13.5 million, I would say that’s significant...

The question should be, would Aquilini pay 13.5 million to get a 1st round pick?

Actually...this could work.

I doubt he’s giving up a first rounder to save money ...he’s losing that fan base already ...that would be another step backwards

Fully agree. No way any GM/owner — even stupid Ottawa ones — gives up a first (lotto) and a second just to save a few million. That fan base would riot, and would be a huge nail in the coffin.

Do you really think he cares about the fan base? Really?

He doesn't care about the fan base.

Just like we don't care about your posts.

STFU.
