Gio's agent should be fired if that is the deal he takes.

He's 39 years old, playing in his home town, and going for a cup. Maybe it's $1M, but he's going to sign a VERY cheap contract in TOR. Kinda like Spezza

TOR's not doing that CHI trade. As a Hawks fan, of course we'd take that. AND then sign Kaner next summer when we draft Bedard too!

39 years old still playing high level hockey. While it is rumored he would take a "cheaper" deal to stay in Toronto, I doubt its close to league minimum.

Well I guarantee you two things 1. You are not going to want any injuries since you have negative cap space 2. You are not making the playoffs if you run this lineup too long and you will be praying for injuries or a trade.

EDIT*** The reason for point 2 is because the rules state that any team over the cap shall not gain points until such a time that they become cap compliant. Since you are 2 K over the cap on opening night, you will remain at 0 points until the team can put a player on LTIR or they make a trade to become cap compliant. If that takes even just 10 games that could be hard to overcome.

I don't mind that trade. Doubt Guerin does it since Greenway was extended

I don't mind the value on that trade, but it doesn't fit into what we need. Greenway is an excellent defensive forward on a cheap deal. Getting Sandin would mean we'd have 8 defensemen under contract. We need Greenway more

He could call Lou. Lou loves to hand out $6M contracts to aging vets.

These deals suck for us

He could, but I truly think he wants to win a cup vs the money. NYI aren't contenders. I truly believe TOR will contend again next year. Gotta figure out the Goalie situation though.

Minnesota says no. We have 8 good d under contract and a bunch of top d prospects
