Nothing, but you say a lot of things with certainty that aren't 100% true.

There's a real chance the cap goes up almost nothing this year, and that's what was expected until a few days ago.

IF the cap was going up the full 5%, they would have announced an actual number and not a projection, the cap came in last year 1 mil under the projection.

As far as adding both, it would be suicide. We'd literally be Chicago without the 3 cups

All our opinions sound like we talk with 100% certainty
You're no different

(Tell me again about how 10 teams are gonna trade for a defenseman)

There's absolutely room for both
I proved it

And we'd have a legit shot at winning 3 cups

Never said they will. I said 10 teams at least will be in the market, as in we have a ton of comp. in acquiring a D man.

You can add the Rangers to that list as they are trying to move Staal and bought out Girardi so they can add a D man.

I'm thinking about going to the NHL awards next week so I can be there when they announce the names from the expansion draft.

I think it will be more 15-20 teams in the market for a d-man if not 25.

Carolina
Minnesota
Anaheim
Nashville

Only teams I can think of that are set on the Blue line.

There's about 10 other teams who also have defensemen they can't protect
There's only about half that who have an empty slot to trade for a defenseman & still be able to protect him

Although it appears many teams are making deals with Vegas

Kane would probably come here since he is a homer. Still don't see it but I would make that deal in a heartbeat
