I don’t remember the league without a hard cap so, although I lean on the side of liking it for parity, I’ll accept maybe it’s not as entertaining of a league as it used to be. I’d imagine trades were a thousand times better back in the day.

It's more entertaining, people are just jaded and like to complain about how everything was better back when.

Sorry, I should’ve specified what I meant by better. The actual game itself is way better. I remember the tail end of the dead puck era and it was night and day after the lockout. I meant the transactions must’ve been so entertaining with trades being so much easier to make. I don’t know how much GMs use the “trades are difficult because of the cap” as a crutch to not do poop for fear of losing their jobs, though.

never see a trade like the 10-player gilmour trade again.

i sort of miss the ol' shoot from the hip gm gun-slinging days.

on second thought, not so much. other than fletcher, all our gm's were basically the extra's in a clint eastwood movie; the ones that were used for target practice.

I was watching a playoff game from ‘89 today and the goaltending was just, uh, yeah

Still entertaining, but the skill these days has gone parabolic.

Just my take, I love the changes in the game in the cap era.

Yeah trades don't happen the same way for sure.

Marner and ceci for Jones and anderson. We can add a 3rd or a Bergman level prospect if needed. Cap savings will allow a gardiner signing as well

Those BJ picks would be very high. Not sure why they'd consider giving-up 4 1sts when they gave up so much last season in trades and not moving their UFAS and it did not work.

wood

I would trade Marner for Jones.

Love Kadri. Hate seeing him go. Avs are getting a hella of a good player.

Holy (frank) the Argos are trash. Opening kickoff ran back on them.

Game is 15 seconds old and it's already over.

What a slut. God I love her!


...where are my manners?! I'm sorry if I offended any of you with that comment guys. I should conduct myself more appropriately. What I should have said is that it looks like she knows how to give one hell of a great interview. Looks like she could easily handle two or more interviews at once!

I wonder if Benning saw what the Canes did with Dzingel and started taking notes... "I can offer 2 years and NOT 4+".

Pettersson for Johnsson, Dermott

Love Kadri. Hate seeing him go. Avs are getting a hella of a good player.
- systemtool

He's a good player, but he ass plowed the Leafs two years in a row. Hopefully the two guys Leafs got will work out.

Pettersson for Marincin and a bag of farts
