qwksndmonster Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 More Burke than Carlisle, though it didn't work out for Burke in Toronto, Calgary on the other hand appears to be on the right track. Overall, the brain trust the Leafs are putting together is impressive. Time will tell if it works. It's not easy converting all that hockey knowledge into a cohesive product on the ice. At least they're finally blowing it up and starting to take their medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 @generalfanager: With Stepan at 6 yrs @ $6.5M, #Rangers have approximately $425,875 cap space remaining. http://t.co/dM38Zuxr87 getting Yandle would be awesome , this is where the RoR deal pays off for us i think.

Randall Flagg Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 What does the ROR deal have to do with that?I bet he is referring to the Rangers needing cap space after signing stepan to a deal whose value was perhaps inflated by ROR's deal, so putting Yandle on the trade block?

He's talking about RoR making the Sabres better and that luring Yandle via FA (he's a UFA next Summer). RoR's deal would hurt our acquiring him in a trade because it depleted a lot of our liquid assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is what he is getting at. Who knows if it will actually come to fruition though. There is a good chance that if the Rangers want to keep Yandle, they can find a way to make it work.

RoR's deal would hurt our acquiring him in a trade because it depleted a lot of our liquid assets.I forgot he is a UFA after this year but I still think that ROR influenced Stepan's deal and that that leaves the Rangers less likely to sign Yandle than they would like. Though their defense should be fine without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) NHL releases NBCSN prime time schedule; Edmonton plays 1 game on NBCSN (in Buffalo, March 1st). Buffalo plays 5. Sounds like McDavid really is buried deep in the north; for American fans at least. http://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-releases-national-broadcast-schedule/ For comparison, the Hawks play a league high 21 times on NBSCN, though that's too be expected Edited July 28, 2015 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Five national games sounds low for us. Usually we're up more than 10-12-14 games. I mean, I know we were (are?) bad. I guess by comparison, Florida, Carolina, New Jersey, Columbus, and Arizona only have one game. Edmonton and Toronto only get one game, and the Flames, Jets, Sens, and Canucks getting NO games is pretty bad. With Montreal in six games, that makes a total of eight games of the 105 scheduled so far involving Canadian teams. I understand the economics under the current TV rights, but it's still pretty stupid to ignore one fifth of the league. Combined with above, that's only seven games for the 11 teams with fewest games. And also, wtf, Philadelphia has 19 games. Pittsburgh 18. Detroit 16. Anaheim has only four. Nashville four. Dallas three. As expected, it's all about money. Edited July 28, 2015 by IKnowPhysics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've figured out that Buffalo will tune in no matter what, while the rest of the country wants to see quality hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I'd say I officially have no idea what Vancouver is doing, but I think it's more important to state that I officially believe they have no idea what they're doing. Edit: I know it's not all on Benning, but the following is ugly no matter how you slice it: Scott Wheeler @scottcwheeler Luongo, Schneider, Kesler, Bieksa, Lack = Markstrom, Horvat, Sbisa, Sutter, Dorsett, McCann, 3rd, 3rd, 7th, retained salary on Luongo.

That Aud Smell Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I saw one of the TO writers tweet, and I won't have the exact language, something like: "There is such a thing as a stealth tank.
