Sorry but that shyte is hard to fathom. Wild overpayment for
Questionable players? Must be a better way. In 3-4 years -when the team
Is hoping to be better- yer still
Stuck with those contracts. Seems like with those 2 guys
You coulda done 2 year deals? They are both kind of on the scrap
Heap at the moment. In any case, it just ain't right.

Ranger fan bias if you think this was bad for the Isles. Isles are in a much different scenario than you guys. This by no means handcuffs the Isles.

That's UFA. It's a crazy world and if Pouliot's new contract is justified than so is Kuelmin's and Grabovski's. Pouliot has the less amount of career points out of all the 3. Pouliot's single season high in goals in the lowest out of the 3. They hit the market and found the right desperate teams. Happens all the time.

I know it happens and that pouliots contract
Is equally ridic but the fact that they are signed
To reach the cap floor is the effed up
Part; kinda the opposite of a player being
In demand -as Pouliot actually was.

And Grabo wasn't? If you guys had cap space you guys would have been mentioned on him as well. Hes a solid center.

Fun fact Isles would have reached the floor without either of Kul or Grab. Wang actually was willing to spend this year. Could be because of the move to Brooklyn and the fear of getting the #1 overall. Also a trade is coming since Isles now have too many forwards.

There's no way in hell I would pay $4 mil for Pouliot but it sucks he was only here for 1 year, when his head was in it he was fun to watch

His AAV was 2.5 do you think we could get him for 2 AAV?
I don't know how to do that capgeek stuff to see if it fits
