options were limited on where they can go it has nothign to do with whos more talented right now
- hubie


Huh?
I'm not talking about us signing Girgensons as the reason he's more likely to make it
I'm talking about his play at rookie camp
Btw,
We are likely going to sign Grigorenko too
He can still go back to juniors after he gets his 10game tryout here
He can't get his tryout though unless he is signed

No this would be part of the "3 year plan to get the cup". Win a cup in the next 2 years then trade Doan to another team who needs to get to the cap floor.

In theory


- J03Y


They have to ditch these magical 2 and 3 years plans and promises associated with them. Its pure crap. Lets face it, to win the cup you have to be good over a certain period of time and get a little lucky too.

Tom be good you need...

-Resources financailly and be will to spend them
-Good at drafting
-Good at retaining good players
-not overspending to the cap
-Good at aquiring free agents
-Have a desirable destination for free agents based on both a good place to live and a good hockey culture.

We have the first 2 down, not sure about the rest.

Then from there you just have to hit your stride in the playoffs. IE see LA and NJ this year. You cant to the typical Buffalo put your best team ever together for 1.5 years and then let it fall apart.

Formula as follows:

Good team over X amount of years = exponential increase in cup winning chances.

Eklund says that Philly is not the Eastern team that offered Doan $30 million.
- Jacob582



Which means Philly is the team that offered it.

but NJ and LA have none of those things. they got a little lucky. theres no hockey culture for the most part in NJ, they're too close to NYI NYR and PHI. LA will always be last compared to the lakers and dodgers. you dont NEED to have all those things to win the cup. Obviously having them puts you at an advantage but its not a necessity. this "typical" buffalo team COULD win a cup.
