Leaves us with $3 million to sign a 4th line center, 7th dman + the remainder to keep Booth on LTIR for a couple months then bring him back.
This leaves us
- DrChristianTroy

Are you trading Edler and our first to Carolina for the #5? Also, are you suggesting that Booth would be on LTIR to start the season? I believe his agent said that he'll be ready for training camp.

Would that really fit under that cap with a 22/23 man roster?
- Nucker101

Huh? Do you mean that teams have an option to have 22 or 23 players?

They could save money from a contract by only having 22??

I ask this because under this new cap system, I think teams will start to rethink the traditional 4 lines and 3 d-men pairings. I think there will be some manipulation of that.

Yup.

Forgot to note that I traded Edler for the 4th or 5th overall pick.

Is Eddie Lack now yesterdays news?

If he'll be ready for training camp it wouldn't work... Sheeeeeeit.

I believe the minimum is 20 or 21 actually, but teams always keep a 13th F and 7th d-man on the roster and most teams usually keep 22 or 23 on the roster throughout the season in case of injuries and for flexibility with the bottom d pairings or bottom 6 forwards.

I believe Gillis said both will compete to backup Schneider, wouldn't surprise me if they brought in a veteran on a tryout as well.

- Beatle_john

Not necessarily... But we're paying Eriksson $925K so I wouldn't be surprised if he was the backup with Lack putting in a full year in Utica or wherever the (frank).

One of Ballard or Booth has to go for sure.

That's too bad... I think both will do much better away from AV. It'll suck to see it happen elsewhere.

Agreed 100%. I'm guessing Ballard is the odd man out unless Torts really prefers Ballard.

Good deal for avs.

Where in the mid east? I've spent a lot of time in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and a little time in the Sudan. Backpacking days. Awesome adventures!

- pandabk

Tanguay is the best player in the deal for sure, but I think it's relatively even when you consider cap hits and age.

Yeah heard something about 2 goals in a minute and also TO let 3 goals in to lose game 7 against boston I heard

Sounds about right.

Keep the faith, Esplenator.

Well at one point Toronto sure did. That means our GM was only slightly more stupid than yours for thinking he could hold out for me. But yours is in the stupid zone for even offering anything.

This this genuine?

Yup.

That may SOUND like the case, but I know for a fact that him and his sister are working on a grass roots program to grow the game.

I just don't like the idea of him working with kids.

Letang is so overrated. He's a second pairing d-man on most other teams. Penguins defense is awful.
