Can't wait for tonight's game. With that said, I think there is close to 0% chance Lou doesn't spend the remaining $3.1M in cap space. That money could garner a really nice player, let alone packaging with a player(s) or pick(s). We have the new arena coming next fall, owners want to keep the momentum going and Lou wants to make a statement. Just my thoughts.

It’s not a matter of wanting to spend the money it’s more like what do they have left to trade? Also I still think they move Bellows by Monday

I agree but for who? Adding another forward you’re benching one of Wahlstrom or Bailey. I get it Wahlstrom is a kid but he has been awesome on both sides of the puck. Benching him would be (frank)ing stupid. Sorry, it’s not even debatable. Bailey as we know blows but trotz loves him and he’s not benching him so I’m thinking defenseman.

I'm thinking a defenseman too. I have know idea, I just feel like that's decent coin to have and think Lou wants to give this team the best chance to make a deep run. I wish Nashville wasn't hanging on bc Ekholm would be perfect.

Bellows is a great start. You have MDC, your boy Bolduc, Wilde, Wotherspoon. Picks. Not saying I want to part with anyone other than maybe Bellows and MDC but we have options I think.

Mentally preparing myself for the 'Leo in, Wahlstrom out' outrage. My eye is already starting to twitch

Wait for it to happen before getting anxious about it.
