But they will most likely being paying less than this year. Dipietro will be on his ELC and the $3.3MM recapture penalty will be gone

That will be nice. It’s not a huge amount but I think it will give the new GM some additional breathing room to improve the roster depth.

I think they make the playoffs and Jimmy sticks around. He is never leaving

Had to get my anti-Benning shot in today as yesterday’s love-fest was a bit much.

Was it Pfizer or Moderna?

I don't think Green is a good coach, but I'd bet money that a better defensive system, implemented by Shaw, makes him appear better than he actually is.

Here's hoping Shaw improves the overall team structure and team D.

When did they announce Benning is moving to the President role exclusively?

That would be bad. Weisbrod probably gets promoted to GM in that case...

Yeah, I’m just saying the bonus targets are so achievable that as fans who are saying “great signing at $1.5” they should be aware that it is actually $3. And as I said, $3 is still a good number for what he will likely provide. Next season, they basically swap the Luongo recapture for Holtby/Halak/Jake bonus/buyout costs, and potentially another $2ish million in ELC bonus money (as a maximum)

32 lb Coho caught in Lake Ontario, potentially a new Lake Ontario record if it’s not a Chinook/Coho hybrid. The biologists are excited to find out.

Benning did kinda say on 650 today that this might be the final roster heading into camp, they seem pretty confident in JD as 3C
- Nucker101

Yup. Id say this looks like it, maybe another depth signing and of course the two big contracts
