Depends....when you waive a player you only save 900K of his salary, when you trade him you can save his entire salary.

They had 50 wins and won the Central last year, this year they had poopty goaltending and Benn was playing injured, so was Spezza. Really depends on how they feel about their team.

They're certainly not in any cap trouble but they could sign Thornton and Marleau plus some RFA's and it's all gone.

A buyout costs 2 million per for 2 seasons, 18 million left for 6 players to sign. Their RFA'S aren't due for big raises. Just don't see them giving up assets for taking a goalie, when other better options are available.

At least I can look down and see my balls

My penis is in the way I can't see mine either.

We have one million more in cap space than Dallas with one less player signed. Bo and Gudbrandson are RFAs and will probably chew up 9 mil of that 17 mil. So we are going to take on a 4.5 mil contract and sign 4 RFAs with the other 4 mil leaving us with 0 cap space for a bottom 3 team

Ya that makes sense too, however, I'd check it out if I were Benning. Never hurts to ask.

I don't mind taking on a bad contract. Just this year there are too many variables. Next season may be our best opportunity to do so, once we get rid of 14million anchor contracts.

Ya whats your point..

He understands economics. I think he is subtly trying to tell us he is not a socialist.

None, go trade for Niemi and why not pick up Dustin Brown and Callahan too then we can get more picks

Sure....when you're a rich team you use that cap space to acquire assets and make your team better quicker. It's not a new concept?

So JB says he wants a playing making center.

Who does that sound more out of Mittlestadt, Vilardi and Glass?!?

They are the worst . They want to be resilient but fall short. They want to be classy but don't make the cut.

Merde

Absolutely, that's how they got 18 year old NHL defenseman Jakob Chychrun....perhaps you've heard of him?

We need to take care of a lot if RFAs this year . In 2018 we have 42 mil in space might be better to wait a year

It would be nice if we take on a contract, that it would be from a team like Tampa who have several interesting forward prospects. Dallas isn't quite as appealing prospect wise.

Con Symthe players . They stock piled two players because they spent 30 mil under the cap every year and still suck.

When they get rid of Sbisa that's an additional 3.6 million in cap space. If they get rid of Sutter (that POS candyass) they'd save even more cap space.
