Thread: Nasty and Stupid Comments Only - Especially from Montreal Fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>In all seriousness, the reason you may have gotten nasty comments from Montreal fans is that Barrie ticks almost no boxes for Montreal. He'd probably marginally help the PP, but he's not going to do much without actual difference makers on the roster.

He's an overpaid veteran PP specialist who has already been/will soon be passed by Bouchard. Edmonton wants his salary off the books for the next 3 seasons. But Montreal is rebuilding, they aren't going to be looking for veterans to help them improve marginally in the present, especially if the cost is futures or cap space they don't have. Montreal also doesn't benefit from recapture with Keith if he retires since he didn't play for them. And it sounds like Keith doesn't intend to retire.

Honestly, Montreal acquiring Keith as one year as a veteran if Petry gets traded makes more sense than Barrie. They'd ask Edmonton for something or would send salary back the other way, but at least he's a veteran leader that only has one more year on his contract.</div></div>

THOSE COMMENTS WERE THOUGHTFUL AND INSIGHTFUL. I ASKED YOU SPECIFICALLY FOR NASTY AND STUPID COMMENTS.

Thread: Theres a silver lining to every broken Hymen
What the absolute f*^k is Holland thinking signing anyone to an 8-year deal? This is literally worse than the Milan Lucic signing in that Hyman is older than Lucic when he signed, never scored as much, and will be signed to an extra year. I am hearing $5.5m???!!! Where is that going to come from? On day 1 of the season the team has to be cap compliant. Then they can place Klef on the LTIR and exceed the cap. By my count, even if they sign Tyson Barrie to $4.5m (which is optimistic), there will be only ~$6m to sign Hyman and they still need to sign other players also. This is pure folly.


IMO, Tatar would be a better option because he is good at scoring off the rush and would probably be cheaper than Hyman given his bad playoff run. Hoffman would tick a few boxes also since he's a great shooter and it did not work out for him in St. Louis.

Ken Holland, for all of his success, left Detroit in salary cap hell and he is doing it in Edmonton. He is no better than Chiarelli in that regard. At least Chiarelli/Keith Gretzky were awesome at drafting . . . that remains to be seen with Holland.
