Thread: Leaning into using the cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JackBurton</b></div><div>Gaudette I'm okay with, if he returns to better form pos-Covid, he's just the kind of bottom line guy we need. The rest is mind-bogglingly stupid, from disastrous asset management to cap ****ery.

Is Fleury retires, fair play, it all goes away. Or maybe he gets something out of trading him back to PIT. But how has he not realized that no one wants to come this organization anymore, without a massive overpayment? Not only that, he's taking a dump on that European pipeline he created himself, one of his only true feats to be accredited to him, with this Suter nonsense.

I would seriously like to strangle the man right now.</div></div>

I agree Stan I'd making odd moves, but if anything he's preserving the Euro pipeline vs ruining it. The Hawks could have qualified Suter, but Suter believes he's worth (rumored) $750 - $1M more per year than Stan did. Ok go get it, we COULD send you to arbitration, but we won't be an obstacle. We're still here if you find otherwise. That's what the Euro transfers want. Life altering contracts because the Swiss league isn't providing those contracts.

Grubauer is the only potential in that group you listed, Bishop has shown over time his body can't keep up. Holtby has fallen off a cliff. Stan either jumped on this decision like an ill-prepared fool and hoped for the best outcome, or he knows he;' gonna get canned and doesn't give a **** anymore. I've lost count of the messes he's accountable for right now...</div></div>

I think he knows in the back of his mind that there's a real possibility Fleury retires or requests a trade to Pittsburgh he can (and likely will at this point) facilitate. I don't understand why he's jumping through so many hoops for the moves he has/hasn't made. The huge overpay for Jones financially and asset-wise, potentially having to retain on Fleury to move him to Pittsburgh, not qualifying Suter, even though Suter is better than Strome, Gaudette, and Borgstrom. I don't understand how he can screw up with this much cap space. How did Gaudette end up getting a raise? He played 7 games... I just have no words.
