Staying below the cap until the toxic culture is fixed is a very smart thing to do. Whenever we get halfway thru a season with a real team in place we will have the cap space capital to make the moves really necessary to put us over the top. Until then, no 7M dollar player is transforming the culture of the locker room on their own. I was highly critical of Murray’s lack of attention to any human factors. Botterill came to him recommended by the league you can’t hate on him there. He had some really bad coaches that messed everything up. In theory Krueger was exactly the people focused coach needed to fix that, in reality the guy didn’t work. KA had such a miserable mess to clean up from all those fiascos. And I give him benefit of the doubt the owner doesn’t want to get burned by another coach until he sees failure. And even if I predicted last seasons failure with Granato a year before, it wasn’t until last year did he lose the room. And they cut ties and broke the curse. nothing matters because they broke the curse. With that cap space in hand we will be able to do some big moves and the team culture turnaround will make those actually fruitful for a change.

Groot single handily reviving the defense

refs actively inserting themselves into this game. Disgusting. Their union is too strong Defense is bad. Historically bad. AZ hasn’t scored in 3 straight drives in nearly 20 years lol Josh had the jitters. Offense has been fine outside the dumb fumble

If Arizona is so low it’s not a market problem we’re fighting Bills are super popular… overseas. If anything we will be the second team to be moved after Jacksonville

Don’t think it’s good cap management and the ship sailed when we acquired McLeod

Floodgates? Nah. It’s nothing new https://web.archive.org/web/20220601130829/https://www.capfriendly.com/articles/32/shane-doan-deferred-salary-and-bonuses-explained Might get a few while interest rates are high, but as the rates come down they are less attractive

Bryson is going to turn into Mike Weber 3.0 isn’t he god *****

Haha trading them something out of goodwill is an interesting new development

Concussions are different. One bad one is enough no matter the player

If those two weren’t majorly injured for the last three games they win the cup

Would going from the CHL to NCAA to AHL be the new preferred pipeline for players? How would the NHL teams facilitate this? Would throw a link into the 4 years and UFA carve out right now if a college near Buffalo would be a temporary destination, which would get it? Niagara?

I don’t see farabee coming in as an automatic out for someone else. It’ll make the press box rotation the top story every game. He’s a reclamation, with way higher upside than krebs

They had some pleading their case in opposite to something prior. Letting everything get their ‘one last’ opinion out I think is the opposite of a shake down. Way better than just taking all the rankings then going into a room with 3 people to make all the decisions blindly

Me as signed a deal straight to UFA. He wanted the market it isn’t personal

Bensen wasn’t their target, just next up on their list Our fourth line is making Lindy happy. They’re going to get second line minutes

It’s reportedly a whole new offense out there. One that Allen shouldn’t be asked to be a hero in. A lot to be optimistic about up front

I agree. But we would’ve been swept and more distraught than missing it

Not with Granato. Glad we got lindyLindy

Adam’s was patient and now we’re in a good situation because of it. If he freaked out a couple years ago we’d be in a bind right now

ROR can only blame himself for the captain thing

Good deal. Not too high if he’s a 1B. Not a toxic two year problem we’re forced to deal with soon either

This would hurt. May be close. More I read on Wahlberg the less I’d want to lose him Adams won’t get pick protection

The ‘4th’ line will get 2nd most minutes matching up against top lines. we have enough scoring elsewhere in the line up that this will work out okay

Carlo for Johnson? I’m actually really high on Johnson and think it’s bad cap management. Though I assume I’m in the minority

He didn’t want to tank?
