Armstrong paid sammy Blais and a 3rd for Buchnevich, then just dealt reaves for a third to NYR. So essentially blais and reaves for buchnevich. That's a huge win

It was a 2nd.
Reaves was a VGK.

I think that’s the same attitude as the whiners. Why all the positivity when the track record is so spotty? Why not wait before getting too excited and let it play out.

I get it that the complaining gets loud sometimes. But I think it’s justified in most cases. I’m only talking about in here of course.

So were the changes positive or negative?

Hughes has leverage...believe it.
- LordHumungous

JB has never caved on a resigning like Dubas has. Hughes will get a good contract but he won’t get more than his 1 dimensional play.

See, Men’s volleyball needs the same uniform standards as men’s track. You can tell who’s packing heat.

I liked Edler too, and while I’ve never really liked Myers, I can admit that it’s the contract that I really don’t like.

JB has been in contact for both EP & Hughes agent. There was lots to get done & still is. They will sign I am sure of it. Giving it 8-10 days.

If Everyone takes the share they are worth then there is no hurdles. This is not a Benning situation . The great Joe Sakik lost his starting goalie because the Asks were ridiculous. Carolina let Hamilton walk because he wanted to get overpaid.

Seth Jones and Werenski are not 9 mil players but you find dumb ass GMs that shoot themselves in the foot by overpaying and raising the bar.

Like signing Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, Sutter, Holtby to inflated deals?

Hughes is better off on a bridge deal & improve his all around game to cash in on the next one.

And Benning is in that gang. I’m not going to defend Sakic, or any other GM who does stupid poop.

Props for cleaning up his mess.

Is it really stupid to not overpay? Avs and Car let their players walk for free , at least if Benning and the two players can't agree they can trade.

Overpay your stars and you become Toronto.

If Benning overpays Petey and Hughes then you can say goodbye to Boeser or JTM.

My post had noting to do with the cap. It was about a very difficult & strange set of circumstances.
- Nighthawk


I read crap as cap, just figured it was a typo, as you’re apt to make one or two per post…

You know, that would be an interesting situation to watch unfold if it was to happen.
- bloatedmosquito

Benning has 16 million in cap space with Pod and Hog in the lineup, 19.5 million with what’s his name on LTIR. If they have to match say 8.5 and 7 million for EP40 and Hughes that leaves just enough to re-sign Dickinson. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

So comes down to how much Petey & Hughes like the core & sign to keep it together.

Any traction on a 3-metal? I haven’t golfed since we got home to AZ, too hot. Found a great hazy IPA at Porters pub in old town Scottsdale today though, love me some tasteful beer!

Give Huggy a 3 yr contract and move him to NJD before he cashes in big time.

Instead of the IF game predict what 40 & 43 sign for.

I pick 13.2m in total
