I do agree here. Reaves has been somewhat disappointing with that this year

1.7 mil Cap hit is ugly and he wont get much better next year.

NHL is pathetic to have to worry abut $1.7m cap. The cap structure in general makes things absurd

Eugene Melnyk died yesterday?

Most people wont fight Reeves.

Is he supposed to run around chasing people taking additional penalties if someone makes a clean hit?

Reeves fought Maroon after he ran Shesty.

If you think Panarin should never get hit, watch another sport, its (frank)ing hockey.

In saying all that, Reeves should be used sparingly. Only against teams that have someone like a Wilson. Plenty of depth on this team that its not necessary to dress him every game.

Do the Sens still have an internal budget, or did that die with him?

It should be interesting watching this unfold. Kind of surprising (or not) that the chief idiot at Hockey Buzz doesn't make it a front page story.

Might be like Wurtz in Chicago. Dude (frank)ed that team up, once he passed the kids righted the ship

I was also shocked it wasn't the banner story this morning on the home page, not a whole lot else going on, or that the Senators Blogger hasn't written about it either

Eh that's a completely different animal. Wurtz pissed off fans by blacking out games and refused to spend money. Melnyk just ran the team like crap but wanted to win

I found it by mistake heading over to the athletic. It's not even a banner on ESPN. Just a side story.

All comes down to money though in the end.

Hit a little close for you?

Why are you talking?

Cap going up by $1 mil.
- dashripdot

This is the key though from Lavoie:
Expect the cap to jump significantly after the 2024-2025 season. By then the NHL expect players dept to owners will be reimbursed.

...wanted to win without spending the money you need to do so.
I can want a Ferrari more than anything in the world. If I'm shopping with Ford Escort money, I'm not gonna get what I want.

LeBrun:
Bill Daly says the next World Cup of Hockey in 2024 won’t have a Team North America youngsters team nor a Team Europe. The event will go back to a traditional field. Countries only.

They should have that team NA squad. Was great to see the kids in that format. A preview for the future.

Mercogliano:
Copp in as second line C and replacing Strome on PP1. Reaves in lineup

#NYR lines

Kreider - Zib - Vatrano
Panarin - Copp - Hunt

This is such a load of horse poop.
(frank)ing businessmen that expect to run businesses in a volatile world with zero risk. They ripped off players for generations and now that they are paying out a reasonable amount of their profits to the people who generate them, they make them carry all the risk.
"Oh, I projected to make $200 million and I only made $30, so I lost $170 million!!!" boo (frank)in' hoo.

Little over 10 years older than me but looks 20 years older.
Beats the alternative.

Don't sweat it, Fenrir. They are just angry because they are approaching middle age and haven't found any wisdom from it.

Unless there's another pandemic or a different reason for an "economic downturn".
