I don't want to speculate too much, but there were a few hints that Zaitsev's request for a trade may have also been linked to off-ice reasons.

Yeah i really don't know what was behind it, I am more or less guessing at the reason but I did hear some vague rumblings about off ice issues as well.

I took my son. It was alright. I didnt mind watching it. Or paying 40 bucks after it was done to buy the boy Woody and Buzz action figures. I want to find the Duke Caboom toy. He made the movie good and hilarious. (Keanu reeves)

I was hoping they'd stop at 3 Toy Story's. I'll probably see 4 at some point, though.

Do not watch it with your wife or girlfriend if you want sex in the next 20 years.

Well that is interesting... sign a no name journeyman for the Marlies, then follow it up with a PTO for Neuvirth. Not sure really this will amount to anything there but, might not be a bad backup option. Still think Hutch is cheap and fine though but having a depth guy can't hurt at all.

Still waiting to move a couple of the dead weight there like Sparks.

must have been (frank)ING AWFUL if he waived to come to a Melnyk owned team.
- sensarmy_11


I don't think he had a no trade clause, did he?

Thought the Leafs just decided to dump him in the biggest mess they could find after he asked to be moved.

I'm guessing he believes that Canadian beer has higher alcohol content than US beer, so he's getting drunk cheaper.

I don't have the heart to tell him it's the same.

he had a 10 team no trade list I believe, and Ottawa was on it....so he had to waive to go there.

That's a sci fi classic.

Zombie 2 by Fulci is a good bad movie, mostly for its notorious zombie versus shark sequence.

The 70s Italian spaghetti splatter B horror movies in general are a rich source of bad films that are hard to watch yet hard to look away from.

Stroker Ace comes to mind also.

Barrie will be AT LEAST 8 mil, if not more
Muzzin probably gets 6-7
Gauthier will probably get around 3
Dermott probably gets the same, around 3


you can let the UFAs walk, but you still need to replace them with something

your "cap issues" won't be as bad next year as they are this year.....but you're being a little naïve if you think you're going to get everyone easily in under the cap.

and next year you don't have an easy fix like you did this year with Marleau and Zaitsev. if you want to move salary next year, it's guys like Kapanen, Nylander, etc......you'll lose guys that will negatively impact your roster.

and all this is assuming you get Marner for a reasonable number

and almost immediately following that, Andersen and Rielley will be due for massive raises.

it's a good problem to have....that many good players who need new contracts.....but it's dumb and naïve to act like it isn't an actual problem.

keep reading, it's already been addressed. I was wrong about Gauthier....I don't think the other 3 are far off, assuming Dermott has a good year.

blasphemy....that's one of the best Best movies.

busey in his prime
crazy-Swayze
surfer Keanu reeves
Anthony Kiedis as a Nazi surfer

(frank)ing epic movie

- sensarmy_11


So what you're saying is you start with a script where cops try to infiltrate a band of bank robbing surfers, which is basically the worst movie. Then you add Busey, Swayze, and Keanu, and it becomes the best... ergo the best worst movie.

Wedgie's 10 team no-trade list:

Ottawa
Detroit
Buffalo
Edmonton
Minnesota
Dallas
Columbus
Carolina
Winnipeg
Pittsburgh
(in random order)

My picks are strictly due to wanting to live there - the actual state of the hockey team doesn't affect it.

#11 was New Jersey, but I couldn't fit it in there.

Yes, I am this bored.

Gotcha ...you need to delete that section of the post so slow readers like me don't keep replying.

I think Muzzin is high given his age. He'll be 31 next summer so you're not buying his best years. Barrie is maybe a bit high for those same reasons ...you'll be buying him into his mid 30's.

Dermott is going to have a half season to earn that next contract. His resume is already pretty light. I think to get 3+ he'd need to have a big year and big playoffs ...maybe become a 20+ minute kind of guy. So maybe but I think he's likely 2'ish. And yeah, Goat is 700k or replaced.
