So what exactly is the change that's supposed to be coming? Lost Kennedy and Cooke and the rest of the rentals, but signed scuds. Right now the bottom 6 is a push over |

I think we will be fine with a lack of depth this year because a lot of other teams are going to have the same problem with the cap dropping. |

You can get by with a weak bottom 6 up to the dealine. Accrue cap space and add who you can at the deadline |

But what about the teams that didn't lose any depth but added some? |

Like? The new CBA is designed to spread the wealth. They usually do for the first few years until the cap rises/teams find a way around. Its pretty fun to follow |

Boston kept their team intact. leafs, habs made their teams a little better. Wings will also be an interesting team now that they're in the east.
This bottom 6 right now just lacks any real speed. I'm just hoping to see the pens get that spark plug of a player in the bottom 6 |

Shero has signed a couple of clunkers in his day, but Glass is pretty close to the top. He's just not a good player. - madmike71
Glass played alot better in Winnipeg.

Sickened to lose Cooke... Very underrated as a player. - lloyd095
Same here. Alot of people lacking hockey IQ on this site relative to Cooke. He is a very underrated player. He will be missed. |

Bruins will be good. To say they kept their team intact is questionable. Leafs are debatably worse. Habs are the Habs. Also all three of those teams are none we need to worry about with realignment. |

How did the Bruins keep their team intact. They lost Horton and Ference. And replaced Horton with Iginla that we can attest isn't the same as he was 4 years ago never mind 10 years ago. |

Also added eriksson for seguin which will help ther top 6. They lost ference, but with bartkowsi and krug stepping up then it's ok. Iggy just replaced jagr if anything. Plus if/when they put savard on LTIR they will have 10 mil in cap space to do more if they want. Still have to sign Rask, but they have room for 1 or 2 more moves |

Sad day for me Minn got a warrior.
I didn't like to see Iggy going to Boston...he's still a good player if put in the right position.
I hope Morrow can still be had for cheap. He's a class act that just need to work on his footspeed a bit. |

Bartowski is not a Ference replacement. Iginla is a good Jagr sub.....older vet with questionable contribution. Not a worry. |

Calling that punk Cooke a warrior is garbage like you and your fanbase. You insult true warriors. Cooke is a scumbag that should have been thrown out of the league a while ago. |

A Rag fan calling another team's fanbase garbage. Priceless. Thanks for the laugh. Go whine somewhere else. |

Sooo.....
Isn't it just a matter of time before Nisk is moved? They need to get somebody decent for the 3rd line and he's really redundant now. |

His cap hit is just too much for a 5th/6 th d man. Plus I really want to see Dumoulin and even Harrington get some chances with the big club |
