Yes because the owner is not spending up to the cap max. The Sens weren't close to the max this year and the cap went down for the first time ever.

I have made this point many times on here, and now you're conveniently forgetting it.

When the Leafs have "Cap room", they spend to the max. When the Sens have "Cap Room", Melnyk takes the cash and puts it in his pocket.

Cap room only matters if you spend it. As the cap goes up more and more, you'll see more "Budget" teams in the NHL.

But this comparison is the very kind that Ebineezer Melnyk loves the most - we didn't spend near the cap, while Toronto certainly spent more. And Ottawa ended up higher in the standings (for what THAT's worth). Melnyk looks at this and feels justified in his approach.

Had he been willing to spend to the cap, would may have been able to keep Alfie while STILL bringing in Macarthur and Ryan. Assuming Alfie didn't already have his heart set on winning the cup with the Wings. Oh wait.

Teams that are successful spend, but teams that spend aren't necessarily successful.

That's about the whole of it.

I wonder if dopps would have mentioned something about the avs, who didnt spend near the cap, if they had passed the first round?


How many budget teams are playing in round 2?

The leafs spend at or near the cap, but are not in round two, so why didn't it work for them?

7 playoff games in 10 years, a capped out roster that was one of the worst teams in the NHL this season & everyone might keep their job?

Countless posts on that subject.

But only one poster who seems to deny that you need to spend to succeed.

Yeah, everyone knows that the health of an organization relies heavily on adding multiple layers of executives on top of layers of executives.

So finally you're admitting the BB culture change was wrong.

First step, many more to go.

They still need a Global Ambassador like the Raps with Drake. I nominate the Biebs.

The more layers of executives, the clearer the message. Just think of them as brita filters.

The team's ambassador needs to reflect the culture we want: Big, Tough, Don't take poop from anyone, and obviously, that person needs to be a famous Torontonian.


Ford is the obvious choice.

hmmmm

The Cap has helped most of the teams not named the Rangers, Canadiens and Maple Leafs. Yes is makes it difficult to manage, but if these teams could spend to the limit, you would have lost Spezza, Heatley and Alfie long ago.

yes, that's interesting.

You're mistaking Eugene Melnyk for Rod Bryden
