Was thinking that about anyone who signed a bridge deal. Toffoli though, hard to believe that big of a difference between him and Sadd.

Have to wonder what precedent Sadd's contract is setting.

How about ROR? With some of the money being spent on 40 point guys, you'd swear the cap was going up 20% a year.

Keep this up and another lockout is in the leagues future.

Brotherman, You need to come down to OR and taste some real brews.

love to havn't been to that part of the states yet

Have to step in and give a plug to SD microbreweries... Stone, Green Flash, Ballast Point just to name a few... Besides we have way better weather than OR.

Do they use salt water at these breweries? ...fresh water being an endangered species west of the divide.

A lot of water will flow under the bridge in the 2 seasons before TT and Dano are RFA's.
- RickJ

That's true but in addition to TT and Dano, Panarin, Pokka and Darling will also up for new paper.

Drink local.

Colorado has some good companies. Bristol Brewery is one I like. New favorite is Elevation Beer Company.

What's that saying - rising tide lifts all boats.

Horrible teams with little big league talent do desperate things.

Couple years ago we were talking about the $95M men signing with Minnesota.

Pretty soon it will be Stamkos and Hedman in Tampa.

And then compliance buyout gifts from the league.

I can believe Saad wasn't up to speed, his agent did his homework and got the kid another $1.5-$2M/year over 6.

And if I was Tyler Toffoli I'd be asking my agent WTF?
- RickJ

He had to know...Fact is loyalty only goes so far, especially for a player looking to be set up for life. Agent played it perfectly in my book.

Just stay away from anything brewed in Golden, CO

True...no matter how much it's advertised here

Script that happened here is tough to duplicate...Great young players who basically all got really good quickly...When all is said and done-There could be 5 maybe even 6 HOF players out of this group....That's Oiler and Islander like in a hard cap era!

Boats may be rising, but their rising is a sealed vessel...there's only so much space.

Without the cap rising, another lockout will happen.

How else will the owners fix their own mistakes?

He's set up all right...

...and the cost of living is lower in the Columbus metro area, so he'll be able to stretch his millions more effectively.

Need a guy like McD to take over the league and create revenue via TV deals etc that don't exist now...

Winning 14 of 17 playoff series in 6 years with significant player turnover won't be surpassed anytime soon in the cap era.

That ain't luck, gotta have the talent to accomplish that.

Slipping a little news into the thread ? I guess thats encouraging, still some interest in Sharp out there, but wouldnt surprise me if something else is brewing.

So basically the 4 teams with Cap space open to take his salary on... New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers....And supposedly Florida and Boston are out.

To be honest my gut said the Islanders to start but I hear that is unlikely.

It would be just like the Flyers to get Sharp back now after they gave him away years ago.

Odell 90 Shilling is one of my newer favorites. Out of Ft. Collins if I'm not mistaken. Lakewood Temptress is one of my local Dallas faves.

Bells Two Hearted Ale is good. There also is a local brewery here in Virginia that makes called Devil's Backbone that makes a great Vienna Lager. Unfortunately, they do not sell it at Caps games...I already bought my Caps/Hawks tix whether or not Sharpie is still around. The Caps are going to miss Troy Brouwer...Beer and hockey are hard to beat!

- TTtime

TT, my view. An informed opinion, nothing more.

I'm just confounded by the number of folks who are adamant that 7 couldn't possibly be moved.
