Thread: EDM is desperate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>1 first and a low end prospect and they probably do it</div></div>

BOS not taking salary back - they don't have the cap space.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lanny_McJagrBomb</b></div><div>Noted about the cap but Edmonton does have other options. They could go the rental route with someone more experienced like Fleury or Holtby and part with less draft capital.

I will also admit some bias as a Leafs fan. Swayman has looked great so far in a small sample size but Raycroft did as well. Two firsts is a big gamble but if Swayman becomes elite the price is well worth it</div></div>

I am a big Swayman fan, however this likely a deal that the Bruins move on to fill up the empty prospect shelves. I would have thought the Bruins would give Swayman the crease and sign a lower veteran to back him up vs Ullmark - so perhaps the brass would be compelled for an offer this good.

Thread: Laine to Boston
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rhea</b></div><div>lol personal shots nice touch, shows class I guess. Ever notice that Chara can't defend without grabbing the guy on the way past because he is too slow? Ever see a penalty? Very rarely. Ever see Krug hit a guy without leaving his feet? Ever seen McAvoy get away with shots from behind with no penalty? Damn good dman though. Debrusk did the exact same thing Kadri got suspended for...suspension? Not a chance. Imagine if a guy on the Leafs or the Habs or any other team licked a dude...its ok for Marchand though.

Come on man seriously, you cannot believe it is a level playing field. Ask any fan of any team. My favourite is Jack Edward's constant complaining and whining.</div></div>

Jack edwards stinks as bad as your take on this. You genuinely sound like one of those crazy flat earthers. Enjoy whatever world you live in.

Thread: Next Year No Krug
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>He's owed $3 million after July 1st. He'll be a prime target for a team looking to get to the cap floor.</div></div>

Lol, you said the same thing this last offseason when he was owed 5m for 2 years. I told you nobody would take him.

He will be owed 4m for 1 next year, the terms got worse just shorter. They won’t be able to move him. They will have to buy him out. Something they should have done this year. Would not have gotten any cap relief this year really. But it would have saved an extra 1m next year (3m hit as opposed to 4) plus they would have gained a roster spot.

That being said this is ridiculous. Better off keeping Heinen and buying Backes out. Some of these contracts are excessive and will make up that difference. Plus Chara likely retires.

Oh...BTW...for the OP....they are keeping Krug. ??‍♂️

Thread: Enough of Kadris antics
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Kadri did challenge him to a fight. With a cross check to the face. Much like Foligno did on Kucherov for his dirty hit. But no one wants to say anything about it.

The NHL can't keep having random suspensions. It has to be evenly called. I think the review of the Boston Toronto game should end up with DeBrusk suspended for the knee on knee. I don't know how anyone can argue against that.

Kadri shouldn't get anything, much like Foligno didn't and many other players who start scrums the same way. The only difference between the two situations is the whole team didn't gather in the middle of it.</div></div>

Its not a isolated incident however. Ristolainen, Giordano are other incidents that shows that's he too emotional.

Thread: Trading Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>I say whatever term because I think the cap number they come to is somehwere between 9-10.5, then they decide the term. So for example Dubas would say "We want to pay you 9, how many years would you sign for at that?" Then Marner would say whatever maybe 2 for example. Then Dubas asks how many years would you sign for at 10.5? Marner would say maybe 5.

What I mean is the cap number is going to be between 9-10.5 and the term is decided based on that, not the other way around. You get me?</div></div>

ya i totally understand that and think that's totally reasonable. however my comment in this post was about this particular contract, which isn't 5x10.5, or 2x9. It is 8x10. That isn't reasonable. If you want to say that Marner won't get more than 10.5, I think I agree with you, because I don't think he's signing for max term. I can however agree that 5x10.5 is reasonable and say that 8x10 is a joke. They aren't mutually exclusive.
