Thread: Buying
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>I wouldn't mind keeping Benning for a playoff run, but overall I like it. The additions make sense, without selling the farm.</div></div>

Honestly, I don't mind it. I like Benning more than Boro, but I think we've got too many defensemen at the moment. One of benning/boro/harpur is probably gone by tdl.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Could alter the VGK trade to include Cousins perhaps? Though they went down that road a couple of years ago, so not sure they revisit that.</div></div>

Vgk (probably) wants a deal consisting of just picks in order to maximize profit, so i'm not sure they consider either iteration. Though, if I had to guess, I'd figure that they push for either a grit player like Olivier or a bounce-back player like Rocco -- 1/2 retained. At this point, they have no leverage at all, though, so there's gonna be huge assets coming the other way (I think).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Think it is a different situation than Richards. Just my opinion on Richards but here it goes. Richards was caught entering Canada with illegal drugs...probably even prescribed drugs. Gotta believe the Kings like virtually all pro teams "sanction" the use of painkillers etc. Richards was probably told to keep his mouth shut about his dealer (the Kings) and he would be paid his full contract. Kings would wanted to get out of Richards's contract and found it with the help of the other owners....really circumvention of the cap.
Would the other owners agree to cap circumvention for the Sharks for the Kane situation? I say no, but certainly you have a valid point.</div></div>
Given Kane’s notoriety, I see the other owners as having two choices:
1. They allow the sharks to let Kane “resign” and have his contract voided.
2. They force the sharks to stew in the mess and $7 million cap hit for Kane (whose problems have been well documented)

I think both options are fairly likely. If Bettman has his way, though, Kane will have his contract voided. He’s a blight on the league as well as the team.
