Over time I think it could have matured into a good situation but he just wasn't given the chance. I remember when Hodge was fired and Maclean replaced him many were angry and wanted Hodge back much like the Strombo situation. They gave Maclean a chance and it worked out good for awhile until he turned into an idiot. I get they were trying to connect with a new audience...just feel he (Strombo) wasn't given a good shot IMO.

I never said any of that . You do have a horrible habit of assuming .

I said with his escrow he might make 1.5 mil on his final year. I then said he may decide to terminate his contract (not wanting to play in the AHL)

He would probably sign a new contract about 1 mil but play on an NHL team. Who the hell said someone was offering him > than 2.4?

There’s also a chance for them to mutually agree to terminate it, same with eriksson.

Essentially, the league collects a percentage of player salaries into an escrow account throughout the season. All active players still under a Standard Player Contract are subject to this collection. ... Escrow funds are still withheld on buyouts, but not on deferred salary or deferred bonuses.

Maybe the fans (as some in here) are super soft snowflakes like our players on the team which might be one of the reasons we don't have a cup? Just a thought lol

A lot of amateur leagues are in danger. No fans , no season.

People saying shut it down and start a new season in the fall need to give their head a shake. Nothing is going to change in three months , in fact the first reports about the virus said it slows down in the heat , so when fall and winter come back do we expect it to spread more rapidly?

I'm not sure what this has to do with the cap and Benning's financial mismanagement.

I don't mean to offend you so don't take it the wrong way but you are a miserable little pucker hole , that hates everything and does heavy drugs . So if it is all the same to you I will leave the cap to the people that actually have a clue.

Sorry I don't do a lot of talking to Brazil.

It has nothing to do with any of that, it just has to do with why I said about 3 months ago, why we should hopefully retain our 1st round pick, this year.
Although ,I didn't quite state it this way, I implied this could be an issue.
Also, not defending the horrible ownership in Buffalo, but, the firing of all those scouts, didn't surprise me, nor did Benning's decision to not replace Brackett. Pretty crazy to have scouts when they might not have anyone to scout.
