That game was on the TV next to the Sabres game so I was only partially paying attention. It was obvious that Tampa was controlling play, but holy crap... that differential.

Teams don't get into cap trouble by paying elite players, they get into cap trouble by overpaying for (or over-committing to) the Milan Lucic's of the world.

Teams get in trouble for both, it's just that you can more easily and readily identify the latter situations. You still need depth and talent across the board to win in the NHL, something we learned the hard way last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many PPG players that were drafted last 5 years actually left money on the table to ice a better team. I can only think of one. Toronto will be in cap hell if they pay all those kids what they deserve. Guess its a luxury for them to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagBoy Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Peter Laviolette does a press conference with a bull's head. This was a reward to the team for winning 2 games out west. This is the kind of thing I think almost every player would like their coach to do. Good move Pete! And yes, the Preds have the best record in the league right now. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25055985/coach-lightens-predators-mood-wears-bull-head-road-wins Also, Charles Wang, that former, let's say "eccentric" owner of the Isles died Sunday.
