You won't, nothing major will happen until about 3pm PST when JT has a news conference to announce... that he's still undecided and listening to offers.

Man I hope he goes to the Leafs and they have zero cash to spend on defence for the next 8 years...

Plus Matthews will be gone...

Be interesting to see the NTC's they dole out today.

Team is short on LHD. That will solve the entire left side.

NEVERMIND KB is a righty.

The fact that the cap has gone up so much.

Dorsett's contract 3 years ago was 3.84 of the cap. Roussel at 3 would be 3.77 of the cap.

That's 500K per contract every few years.

If we sign Beagle for 4 years that will be LE level bad in terms of UFA signings.

That's 12 million coming off the books in 4 years. Capfriendly has beagle and roussel both at 3 mill each now.

Benning was rather forgiving on that this time last year.

Everyone knows you overpay during free agency. The cap hit, well, it is what it is. But 4 years is a super hefty term. These are essentially 3rd and 4th liners

I'm sure they are looking at potential TDL moves but still 4 years?

2 years at 2.5 each is fine but 4 years apiece?

Not good.

2 years at 2.5 each would have been totally manageable, and imo, appropriate. 4 years for each and 3 and 3.25 isnt great value for what they bring (imo). Moving sutters contract would make this more appealing.

This is gross negligence, owners need people to save them from themselves.

Could be worse, Canucks could have paid $8m for Couture, or $7m for JvR on much longer deals.

Basketball owners need to wake up. Paul George got a 4 year deal worth 137 million.

INTANGIBLES BABY
should have made them 6 year deals.

If the US took all the salary from one year of professional sports, they could probably wipe out their entire national debt, house the homeless, and feed the nation. But, American (Really all of us) dream

If rumors of tim schaller coming to van are true, would have to assume sutter must be getting dealt.

My friend works for a law firm down in the states. He said that if the USA taxed alcohol and cigarettes and all states had their own tax, that in 25 years they could cut their national debt by 60%. I don't know if it is completely true what he was saying but he's kind of a person not to bullpoop for no reason.

Suttsey's contract is a bargain compared. to what is going to happen today...
