I'd like to see the fanbases of those teams suffer for a bit longer before they climb back into relevance.

Montreal will be back in the playoffs in 3 years.

In the meantime, we'll suck and draft talented players.

Just reread this - never mind

I saw Ottawa and playoffs in the same sentence and triggered

You can only hope

Just hope that Bergevin and Timmy don't use the Edmonton Model

I know he's done some pretty "meh" drafting over the years.

But Timmins isn't that bad, I think he can do it.

They're best buds

I wonder if they later they formed a kitten pile with mitch and willie

Nikita Kucherov's eight-year extension with #TBLightning carries a $9.5M AAV.

Similar for Matthews ? Good comparable for sure.

We can only hope, but centers always get paid more than wingers do. Kucherov has a larger body of work too, but playing with Stamkos obviously has it's advantages, so hard to say.

Kucherov 8 years extension at $9.5M per season.. Does this mean the only way Tampa gets Erik Karlsson is if they trade William Nylander?

Graph sheets on Cap limits...now i've seen it all.

Too funny

Yzerman found a way for both Kucherov and Stamkos to accept a small discount.

(frank)ing Tampa.

They just need to find a team that will accept to take on Callahan's contract.... and maybe even one more salary.

I could see the Habs getting picks and a young player to take it on easily.

Ozhiganov: we're not really talking about him at all and I don't see him penciled into anyone's pairings.

He plays a physical game, RHD, would be in Top 3-5 in hardest shot in the league. Points and ATOI dipped last year, bit of penalty trouble. Basically a younger, quicker, better-shooting version of Polak?

not bad..a small discount. I figured around 10

I haven't looked at their cap projections, but I was under the impression that they could ice the same team this year as last.

With as good as they've been, I don't know if I'm tinkering that much. You get to a point where you start meddling with a good thing and all of a sudden you've upset the balance, chemistry, and you're worse off than you were.

It's so damn frustrating the Sens can't even take a moderate contract back in this deal.
