No they just cost fans half a season of hockey. Bettman5.

Look at how teams were relieved of bad contracts after lockouts.

Let's be honest the only "punishments" teams have had for signing absurd contracts is a 250k cap recapture to the Devils for Kovy and a 1.5 mil recapture for the Kings with Richards. Not exactly the kind of deterrent the league was looking for I'm sure.

I'll go stir the pot a bit

Why? Theyve been rebuilding as long as us. Anyone thinks they havnt been is wrong. Theyve had plenty of very high picks.

And their D is a tire fire.

Our D is a tire fire and as good as Klefbom might be he is still a giant band aid

Big IF with the stamkos signing. I personally would not go over the 8 mill mark for him. He's coming back from major issues with blood clot AND his numbers have significantly declined since his injury at the Olympics. He's not the same player any more. But I hope Toronto completely (frank)s up their cap situation by giving him 12 mill (they currently don't have cap space for that as it is now).

Yes Reilly is a good piece probably a 2/3 d man right now. I'm not convinced gardener is more than a 4. Zaietzev has done what exactly to make you think he's a top 4?? Sounds like the numerous times Edmonton has expected this rookie to be a impact top four player only to see him struggle.
Freddie Anderson has been good but he's still unproven. Let's see what happens when a goalie that put up average numbers from a good defensive team comes to a bad defensive team. (Fahst,scrivens,bernier come to mind).

Torontos still has a long ways to go and I feel if the sign stamkos to that albatross of a contract it will only set their rebuild behind schedule.

I watched a hockey central at noon thing where Kypreos guaranteed Stammer would be a Leaf and outlined exactly how it would happen.

There has been tampering going on behind the scenes for months on end.

Now a Hawk fan has suggested there be an American League and a Canadian league with different salary caps. Wow.

That little (frank)er JB is harassing me with PM's. What a knob.

Me too. Little asshat might as well leave for good. He's never going to be allowed in here. Whenever he shows up we'll just get him booted again

What is he saying via PM ?

If the Leafs sign Stamkos they will have a stellar one two punch at centre with Stamkos and Matthews as well as having Kadri and Bozek. They also have some nice young forwards in Nylander, Marner and Kapanen.

They have a starting goalie in Anderson and two top four d-men in Rielly and Gardiner. They could also very well have a third top four guy in Zaitsev.
- prismo

Yeah, they'll have three elite 1c and a potential selke 2c down the middle. They will be untouchable.

Oilers are way ahead on there rebuild and if they can pick up a pair of RHD they will be close to being the class of the west, it's not gonna be pretty.

Yup. How ,any alt's does he have now? I love Timmies, The_man 5000 or some poop, Eberlexx14 , oil4life14...or some variation of those....what a douche.

At least I owned up to my awesome alt accounts to the refs and retired them for good when asked to do so ( it was the only way CaptEo would let me return).

So what this really means is "I am better than a 14 year old because at least after I trolled for years, with multiple alts and the authorities finally cracked down, I did what they told me to do, in order to save my own skin"?

Good it's about time they upgraded the class of trolls on this site. At least Whipper is amusing.

(frank)ing Canuck fans

Make fun of benning so their rebuttal is that Tyson Jost is a Jankowski joke pick
They are almost as dumb as their GM

They'll be laughing it up once they find out their GM lost them draft picks in 2017 due to tampering.

These guys need to lighten up, they get nasty PM's from Brennan but I get PM's from him talking wrestling and he tosses in the occasional nudie pic of his mom.
