naming a team here & there is fine but the #'s go my way
# of teams that rebuild to win ...# of teams that actually do... & for how long

teams have learned that if we aint top 5 -10 material we can come 2nd 3rd 4th
for less $$ & still act like there competing ...or rebuilding

I still say DOLAN is gone by end of summer .....

No, because you have zero proof of that. Z. E. R. O.
- tomburton99

Unless one of us were behind the bench not sure how else you’d have proof, but I think it’s a likely possibility given the entire teams response.

You know if they pick 1st overall they are going off the board.

They won't go off the board if the consensus first pick is Russian. Otherwise, yes.

I just said u can’t prove it unless u we’re behind the bench........said it’s a likely possibility (opinion) that AV told his guys play whistle to whistle and not to retaliate.

He doesn’t stop, I’ll give him that. But I could say the sky is blue and he would argue it’s light blue.

I kind of understand Tom. The first time he decided to root for the tank was probably like this.

Rangers should throw a few UFA names in a hat offer them one year deals with the understanding they’ll be traded at the TDL for assets. Granted there isn’t much available, but if you could get a 3rder for Holden you could something for say Orpik or ward or enstrom, for example.

Give Orpik 6 mill for a yr then retain half of that for a deadline acquisition. Ward 5 million, retain half and do the same thing. That’s brilliance!! and using the cap space wisely. You do have to give them a lot to get them to come. But teams would probaly want that kind of guy for playoff push

I actually don't hate the idea of giving either of those guys a fair salary and flipping them for even a 3rd like Holden. Although picking up Orpik might start riots being a LHD.
