Thomas is different in that he's said he won't play. It not like he sucks and they want to get rid of him. I'm sure a scenario of sending Doan down to the minors and then bringing him back up may entice other teams to take him for half his salary. Then the Sabres would only have a 3.75 dead cap hit.

If I'm a GM I'm not giving up significant pieces for Iginla. You trade away a player, prospect and picks for a guy that could walk on you when his deal expires this year? DR has said he wants to trade for guys that aren't going UFA right away.

He's not taking a roster spot because he's suspended but he still counts towards the cap.

With all the injuries last year we finished $9,500 under the cap. They managed it well.

The Bruins won with Thomas and now he's payroll baggage.

What the ###### is there to learn. The economy is ###### politics are screwed up and nobody cares about anybody anymore.

Made a poll question. See page 1.

We have a small element that we can install in your brain.... :ph34r:

I saw that too. One of the problems with being filthy rich.

You're not too old to go over my knee! Oh. Wait.

Why bother offering anything when that won't get him here?

LOL

While we're piling on, how about the his is he's.

Irritating in'it?

So sorry Bio. While it was the right thing to do it's never easy. Put your hand on your heart, feel it beating. That's where Kirby will always be.

My comment about Clapton wasn't to mean he does the blues like BB King. I saw him at the Arena a few years back and his wrist was like rubber playing that guitar. I like him. I think he's a great but not best guitar player ever. You won't convince me otherwise.

Someone pissed in Bettman's cheerios?

I'd say Clapton got much better after the death of his son.

CBA negotiations cancelled today. The big boys met this morning but cancelled the 1PM meeting.

He has already but NBC has it on tape delay.

Doan is not a center. But Gerbe is! :thumbsup:

If we don't have 50 points by Christmas I'm all for firin' his ass.

Like Sabre Dance wrote, they may be looking to restock the used car lot. I had a Saturn Vue Red Line that I traded in and they gave me good money for it. Although they started at $3,500 and eventually gave me $9,500. You really just need to say no a lot and walk out after about 20 minutes. Take their card, leave them your number, say you'll call tomorrow and don't. They'll call you back.

I bought a nice guitar once. It's got about as much use as the treadmill in the basement.

What economic future? The social security I'm paying into but will never see? The trillions upon trillions of debt the country has that will never be paid off? The polarized and even dysfunctional tax and political systems that are contributing to the fiscal mess? The lobbyists are the ones making most of the changes, for their benefit. Maybe I'm tainted because for me the political system doesn't work. It runs up debt, listens to the people who give them money for their campaign, and are afraid to do what they know needs to be done because of their next run for office. Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, right or left wing, meh.
