Merkley is a midget though. So best hope he becomes Liljegren Karlsson deux!
- AdamFrench

Is there someone who has Merkley's Lijjelssonesque elite skills with size, but also has a cool name?

I'm pretty set on Merkley now, but I'm willing to completely switch based on a couple of good shifts at the World Juniors, that I half-watch while hungover/wasted and posting here at the same time.

Then trade the 2nd's for a boat anchor, write "cap issues" on it and tie to Lou's ankle.

John Ferguson Junior, is that you?

zetterberg is still a legit #1C in this league.

he said publicly he is retiring after 2 years. his contract won't be an issue long-term.

If Zetterberg retired, his cap recapture goes to Detroit I believe. Regardless of where he is playing

won't matter. will be 5 years before det needs the space anyways.

Yes, goes to the team who signed him.

a little more complex than that, but in zetterberg's case it would be almost 100% true.

People have forgotten Luongo's deal because he's been playing so well despite his age. But holy (frank) the Canucks are going to be pissed if he doesn't contract some type of "Hossa Disease."

BUT IR - he'll surely take that route if it comes to him wanting to retire..

3 more weeks from Wednesday!!

Then 10 days after that the Leafs break the Habs' streak!

If he retires, doesn't the team who owns his rights still have to pay the cap amount - ala Datsyuk?

datysuk was completely different. he was a +35 contract.

zetterberg's contract has cap recapture penalties that detroit would essentially be on the hook for.

Ohhh I get it.

Then yes, trade for Zetterberg and pair him with Reilly. Perfect

Not a chance.

sure, i agree that defense is the priority. but the cost to upgrade is too high.

upgrading bozak is a necessity too and maybe we can do it without hurting the future.
