Looks familiar.

The Kraken have become only the 4th NHL team with a name that doesn’t end in “s.” Without looking, name the other 3.

Dick Grapes is an absolute legend. Such a nice pipe.

Here comes the Krak-Heads and the Krak-House!

Maybe we can get Cirelli for $1. I have heard that 30-50 goal scorers are on sale for that price once in awhile, and he’s not a 30 goal scorer.

Did the AHL fold? Can’t believe CNN and Fox News both missed this.

Which leads to another question: is that something JBOTT was working towards/waiting for?

I bought some Exxon last week. They are still very low right now.

Thank you for saying it better than I did ?

This is just bad drafting, or a poor attempt at a slingshot maneuver.

Are we in that coven of teams with the most space now? I thought we were somewhere like 5th for most salary last season - that’s quite a giant swing if we are among those with the most space suddenly.

TBL has something like 1.2 in space right now, and Cirelli is $728,000 currently. Moving him out puts them at 2 million in cap space. Taking on Ristos 5.4 only further compounds the already existing problem in an even swap for the two.

Without looking, I’m guessing the teams with the most cap space are the NJ’s and Detroit’s and Ottawa’s of the league. Im not sure how they’re going to convince players with NTC’s to leave a Cup contender for a current bottom feeder. It will be interesting to watch.

Again, TBL is in the position to lose a Cirelli because they need to move salary OUT. They would not be in a position to take IN a contract like Ristos - or even Montours.

Various experts saying Cozens is the top player not playing in the NHL right now are credible reasons why he should be in the NHL next year - and he’s not eligible for AHL. In the same vein, he shouldn’t be counted on to be our 2C next season either. Since we live in an analytics world now, it’s the projected translation of how many points he would score in the NHL based on his scoring in his current league.

Nah. Nothing a good ol’ Lindy stick to the noggin can’t fix.

Nope. Too much. #8 and maybe a Borgen or Bryson or Johnson plus something else like Mitts, sure.

I actually think it’s more improbable that Cirelli gets re-signed by TBL, and the reasons have been outlined.

I don’t think he looked unhappy - just bored not playing hockey.

Apparently the Weir comments have been scrubbed pretty good off the interwebs.

Nope.

That’s what makes the headline of this hilarious. He actually does have a point.

Yes, the game has changed, but it hasn’t devalued the role of a “stay at home” defenseman.

I actually wanted the Sabres to pick Leon, and there’s probably old posts from me stating this that were laughed off. Oh well. Go get that 2C Kym!
