Gillis said today that the reason he is waiving Ballard is for cap space so that they can make some signings on the free agent market, which sounds like he is looking to make a splash....who might he have in mind?

I'd love Horton but its sounding like he wants to head to Toronto......

I'd expect bottom 6 depth and 7/8 defenceman

What if landing a third line centre could allow Kesler to play a more offence oriented game, and it led to him having a good year on the score sheet?

You just don't trade burrows.........ever.......

Very low alcohol grapefruit beer. So refreshing on a day like today.

The one by Whistler Brewing Company is also very good—another Vintage reccomendation

We've been thinking and talking so much about who to get rid of and who to draft, I completely forgot that we also get to sign players, maybe we wont suck.

Maclean is a massive blowhard.......there is a reason he's on TV now.....and sorry Doug, you'll never be Cherry......

I am having similar but more alcohol. Lambs Palm Breeze Rum with Grapefruit Perrier and a slice of lime. I love beer but it makes me fat.

I think it'll be bigger than that for a true "reset".......otherwise I'll be chanting"fire gillis"........

Good raging enforcer is what we have been lacking the last few days.

8 million dollars in cap space to sign 8 players. That's why I asked last night if people would support million dollar flyers on a guy like Dustin Penner.

I see sestito/gaunce/weise as the 4th line......Higgins/?/Hansen as the third line.......


So realistically we need a 3rd line center for our bg splash.....

Gaunce ELC is a tad north of 1M. We also have to re-sign Tanev 2M. Dale Weise also needs an extension. When all is said and done we might have 3 mill for a 3LC, but no cap space if we use it.

Hell no!

They did it on Raffi Torres.

I forgot about Schroeder!

Simon Gagne is a FA this week as well...Intriguing FA pool with the cap going down. Some guys could be had for pennies.

He deserves 1 mil

If we are talking reset button radical things have happened that my not be considered reset but with that in mind they have been bold moves that have either pissed people off or at the very least have their head spinning. If he is willing to make a play like at the draft he will be bold enough to do something else.

That sounds good, too, if you're wanting something light.

The WBC one is a 4.6% grapefruit lager. Great on a hot day.
