Never said they can’t work out the cap problem. But they do have a problem that Lou has to address. It can be done but to do it someone or more than one, will not be back next year.

And as for this series, let’s go. If any team can pull this off it’s this one. One game at a time.

Anyone remember last year when we had so many Pending UFA's that were not going to be able to stay? No way we could sign Brock, Lee, Eberle, and Lehner.

guess what? we signed them all for less then they could have gotten on open market. We now have JG Pageu signed at a very good price for a long time. yes we have some bad contracts just like every other team. Lou will figure it out... My guess is Leddy is gone.

The last part of that article is what you should read. IN the end not having guys on the books like Snake boy and Bread will be why we are fine cap wise for a long time.

Why? Not enough Cap room to sign him?

my point is always the same.. we will be middle of the pack on Salary cap space as always.

Lou will end up trading Hickey and everyone in here will be shocked they got something for him. I remember when Snow traded Andrew MacDonald who all thought was worthless and he got a 3rd and a 2nd for him.. lol. Hickey is only making $2.5 mill and can be a solid bottom pairing guy. Someone will want him.

Hickey will get a 3rd or 4th.

Going to be nice to see the family again in a few hours and to hear some YES YES YES on the tv later. The island for the W tonight. Now time for a break. I’ll check back in whenever we start up again. Stay safe

And the Flyers regretted it. Is your point that Lou can find a sucker or that Hickey has value? I actually don't mind Hickey as a 7th defenseman.

Not saying it won’t happen but why didn’t anyone take Hickey when they could have had him for free?

Hickey as a 7th defenseman is fine but I have a feeling that’ll wind up being Greene if Dobson can step in on the bottom pair.

I think with Dobson, Aho, and Boychuk we should be all set.

That would have been a fun series to watch if had worked out.

Neither did anyone else.

I see has nothing to do with needing money to sign the RFA and UFA's in the next 2 years.
