I wouldn’t say that...had we got Duchene we would be at the cap.
Same situation each year, MB gives himself space to go shopping but fails in his attempts to lock up deals.
Issue is we have a GM that just can’t close deals and MB seems to think he can endear himself to the fans and media by stating who he tried to get Duchene, Aho, Gardiner, wanted to go after Tavares, offered a deal to Radulov etc....
I’ll say this, trying in most professions without results means shit, yet MB wants to say as he said today.
“Signing players is a two way street, they have to want to come here”
No moron, you have to sell them on coming here and make a pitch and close a deal.
This aint the 70’s anymore where the CH is all it took
