Again Jim Benning was robbed IMO. He wasn't even in the top 9!!!

Love how Lou is getting all the credit for Garth Snow's team lol.

Lou has done what? Signed Matt Martin and traded Toews for 2 second round picks, and hired Trotz (who should absolutely win the Jack Adam's)

Damn how does a guy who is defending Stanley Cup champion and the heavy betting favorite to repeat come in 6 and if you say Kucherov that was brilliance once he knew Kucherov needed the surgery timing it (he knew the recovery time line) so Kucherov was coming back just in time for the playoffs was absolutely brilliant tactics. It also means he built a team so well he could sit out his best winger all season and not sweat weather or not he was going to make the playoffs.
In that tight a cap was able to still get one of the most desired TDL acquisitions.ROBBED!!!!

The CBA and NHL rules disagree with you

It might be using the rules to ur advantage, but come on think of this in an unbiased way.

You keep a player out for the whole regular szn, just to bring him in Game 1 of the yoffs when salary cap doesn't count. and in game 1, he's a beast and gets like 10 goals. The whole team is $18M over the cap. I don't think that's fair to other teams.

It was only possible because of the timing. no it's absolutely brilliant. TB management knew the recovery time line because last year Point had the surgery and the year before Gourde so there wasn't a big mystery about the recovery time.
Did you watch Patrick Kane in the 15 playoffs when he came back game 1and was a beast?
Let's do that 18 mil myth Neither Gaborik or Nilsson were ever going to play for TB they're both retiring it was like giving Melnyk in On ttawa 3.2 million cash in the Coburn trade so there is 7.5 million cap space which is bullsh**

Yes they did it too, but it doesn't make it a right thing to do.

Did they use every mechanism to work the system to their advantage? Yes.
Does it stink for fans to see this? Yes, except Tampa Bay fans.
Did they break the rules and cheat? No.

I think voting after the second round of the playoffs is silly. Either vote at the end of the regular season or vote at the end of the playoffs.

Separately, I think Cheveldayoff gave himself the lone vote he received. lol

That's a GM's job do everything you can within the rules to put the best team on ice you can and nobody has done that better than JBB the last couple years does that suck for others their GM isn't as smart yes I guess it does. It sucked Chicago was able to get vermette ,Timonenn and Desjardins which cost TB a cup. Stan Bowman did his job best as possible that year good for Hawks fans
