That's fair. As far as what I want for a 2C, and I think it's pretty fair to require, a guy who can play all situations at a good level, be able to reliably take dzone draws and minutes without being a liability. Turris has always, in his entire career, been that liability. Even during his best seasons.

Nashville will almost certainly try to trade Turris. I am genuinely curious to see the return.

Well, you hit on it.
You are entitled go your opinion, but this ignoring the Data (represented in graph form) and the resulting projections is similar in nature (not exactly) to ignoring the results of DNA testing and the resulting projections on an individual's health.
But, ok.

It's 2019, I told the doctor I'm a living taco. If he refutes me, I'll sue him.

I'm not signing up for that. We're almost rid of all that garbage. Except for the celery. I want the celery

Did we simultaneously lose both our excellent, well-written and thoughtful blogger, and his half-retarded blogger brother?

So you’re saying you think Scandella is a top pair defenseman?

No I am saying I am not retaining any salary to bring Turris.

Scandella is done after this season.

Turris's contract has a lot more term with a $6 million cap hit.

I want Nashville to retain salary

Scandella is an easier contract to move than Turris

WTF are you even talking about?

Scandella is terrible

But his contract only has 1 year left. It's the same as a Callahan contract.

It is MUCH easier to get a team to take on salary when there isn't term left on a deal.

Gaborik is cheaper than Okposo for 2 years instead of 4, and I don't care about the rest of that stuff

Offensive.

Wondering what has happened to Pach myself, hopefully vacation in a remote area.

I was just messing around with the Sabres for the beginning of the 2020-2021 season on Capfriendly... the whole team is gutted besides Skinner, Eichel, Dahlin, Risto, and Hutton.

Every other player is a RFA or UFA.

So I started signing players back like Mitts (3M), Montour (4.5M), Sam (6.75M), McCabe (2.5M), VO (1.3M), Smith (1.3M), Tage (1.7M), Pilut (1.3M), & JJ (850k).

And I'm looking at the cap figure and it said that I only had 2M left already.. and I was VERY confused. Then I realized I accidentally signed McCabe for 22.5M instead of 2.5M... and I still had an extra 2M in cap space.

That's HOW FRICKEN much cap room we will have next year. Keeping all of our RFA/UFAs I outlined and no other moves... we would still have 23M in cap space.
