Agreed. I think you strip this team back and you say who's not living up to their bargain this year (and I don't mean $$$ I mean expectations) and who do you point to ...?

The PP sucks ...who's fault?
The PK sucks ...who's fault?
Injuries ..who's fault?
And which players just aren't playing well enough?

- The Law


that's the problem.

the top half of the lineup wasn't playing that badly. they're just not good enough to carry a bottom half of stiffs.

yeah, but you can't run two 4th lines, a couple ahl'ers on defense and an ahl backup.

willy - $1.25M overpaid.
matthews - $1.25M overpaid
marner - $2.5M overpaid


$5M allows you to keep brown, add a backup and add a depth dman.

it was way to early to have a cap casualty in brown - we haven't won anything for (frank)'s sake!!!

here nor there imo.

willy should not have gotten 7.5M x 6 years with pasta setting the bar at 6.7M x6 a year earlier.

willy should have been closer to $6.25M x 6.

- Tumbleweed


So Pasta is the measuring stick ...but he's only the measuring stick against which you judge Dubas' signing of Willie?

Leave every other contract and comparable out of the equation b/c they are neither here nor there. If that's the vacuum you choose then yes, I agree Dubas should be dressed in women's underwear and publicly flogged with a cat-o-nine-tails.

Kap, Barrie, Sandin and some other prospect for Jones

this stuff is easy

- senstroll

That's a good trade but would be an over payment for Tkachuk.

Thank the maker!

I hope we spiral and die this year and babs and dubas get fired. Draft high and start fresh next years...

I mean we can compare Pastrnak to Marner and say Marner is overpaid by $4.2M

krieder and georgev would be interest from nyr...but i don't know why they'd want barrie.

dallas' pp has kinda sucked. i feel like the fit for barrie could be there.

- Tumbleweed


Winnipeg and Dallas jump off the map as potentials. Hell, maybe a return to the Avs even.

Maybe need a third team to be involved b/c those 3 teams probably prefer to give up picks/prospects.
