Also, I don't know why these teams are so worried about retribution. Carolina was low-balling their own players. Are they suddenly going to open up the checkbook for your players?

Why would any of their young stars want to sign long term there if they know they won't ever open the books to bring it more top end talent to help.

I would think Tampa is in a bigger bind as far as the cap goes. Then again, I do put Point (as well as Aho) in the "you figure out a way to make it work" category.

I was talking about the part where the Canadiens felt they had a better chance of getting Carolina to walk than Tampa.

Botterill keeps mentioning the use of cap space as an asset.. wondering if that's going to be a piece of the next big trade.

Like I said...offer sheets: doing another team's negotiating for them.

It's nice that MTL sent that weak ass offer sheet.. but there's just no way Carolina isn't matching without something exorbitant.

Hearing from a few team sources that Kyle Connor got calls again today from other teams... but at this point not clear whether that will lead to anything or not.
