Let's Go B-Lo

No thank you to Jamie Benn's contract. We are just getting out of those types of deals right now. Why do I want to lash on another player with term until he's 35?

Some people like that sort of thing.

On the surface I agree, however I'm always concerned when a team is trading away a productive player on a reasonable deal with term remaining. Are they simply looking to maximize return knowing they are going to make big changes? Is he a PIA? Assuming there are no major issues I'd like to see his shot on our power play for 2 years. That's the sort of place that might want to take on an expiring deal like Pominville if the Sabres retained some of the remaining cash due. Certianly not as the only thing, but that allows them to trade Hoffman for some immediate cash relief and future cap space along with something else.

I'd take Mario and Jagr right now. I don't care how old they are.

Back, and to the left....

Rags are retaining 900k so his cap hit is 1.6M for the rest of this year and 3.1 for next. If he can get it together that's not awful but for the current year's performance that's not acceptable. I really need to know what the problem is that Boston moved him, the Rags moved him again quickly, and now Edmonton is giving him away for nothing.

What the hell happened to Spooner? He was a decent player not that long ago and he's not old.

Yeah that's just ridiculous. The temp here is going to drop 40 degrees this afternoon and still not be anywhere near that.

Drove from state college to Philly last night in the snow. Made a 3 hour drive in 5 hours. All in all not too bad, I was the only person on us 322 for most of the time so I could rive down the middle of the road, go whatever speed I wanted and not hit anything. 81 in Harrisburg was interesting though.

Don't worry, the next lockout will come just in time.

I requested that Beaulieu be traded in November of 2017! Glad we are finally on the same page Nate Dogg!

I like Yamamoto. I don't know why, but I do. I also think Kyle Okposo is a Peter Chiarelli type of player.

You can follow whoever you like, I read Baker from time to time as well. He's allowed to be wrong also. I'm going to follow myself in this case since I KNOW I saw the kid in person multiple times over different parts of 2 seasons and didn't just scoop stats or video scout him.
