You can’t stay away from it. Like watching a car crash. Eventually you won’t be able to resist and you’ll comment. Soon after you will regret that decision.

No, I won't comment. I'll let them have their fantasy. It's just very entertaining.

14.9 to be exact. After they trade Bailey…. great deal was worried he would get closer to 7. First domino…

1 domino down, 4 or 5 more to go.

You crazy Canadians adding U's into words where they don't belong.
As an aside, have you started watching Letterkenny yet. It's a terrific show. It's got comedy, fighting, hockey, chirping, hockey fights, beers and women.

It is a great signing. Let's keep it rolling Lou. What was Zeekers rumored to be, 6x $2.5m?
- Isleshockeyman

Sorry, had to run to pick up my girls (no I'm not a pimp, my daughters).

Yes, $2.5 X 6. Both these guys getting longer deals at lower cap value helps now and will help later as cap starts to increase. I love the Pele deal. Now who's left, Beau, Palms and at least a couple others...it's been so long I forget

Thank you brother man. Sorokin I remembered shortly after hitting submit. I’m thinking the Leddy replacement will need to come via trade at this point.

Yep. No room otherwise. Somebody has to go unless he unloads Komarov and Hickey with some assets.

I don’t think there are any d-men left to sign that would slot in for Leddy, are there? And there’s no way we can go into season not filling that spot. Unless they’re planning on giving Aho a real look, but knowing Trotz he’s not giving the 2 LD spot to an unproven NHL’r so I’m expecting a trade. Which I think a bunch of us (you included) are expecting too.

Yep and I suspect he has something lined up already and it’s all in line with signing players and losing one or more in a trade for said defenseman. That’s why this is taking some time and the veil of secrecy imo. Not that lameriello doesn’t do everything secretly

I agree 100% but the suspense is killing me!! Do you think that the agreements are +/- dollars based on offers out there? Otherwise why not announce their signed players. Makes hockey buzzin that much more challenging not knowing cap hits 😆😆

100%. He doesn’t want whoever he’s trading with to know whether he has players signed or not to some extent I would think. He’s keeping anything he doesn’t absolutely need to reveal under wraps. Either that or he done (frank)ed up and he’s trying to figure out an alternate plan. Jk
