Fuck.

Now watch Bennett and Ekblad resign, Marchand go somewhere else, and us thinking about what garbage to waste $11M of freed up cap room on.

 

[JackBurton]

We won 2 rounds jesus. 9 years of playoffs. This has been such a waste.
We are now down to 3 years with Matthews. i never thought he would leave in 24', but now this is very worrisome.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If things go badly this year, and McDavid doesn't come, I don't know that Matthews will be around much past next year.

$11M in empty, unspent cap space >>> $14M+ in cap space spent on Mitch Marner

Well start coping because McDavid ain't coming.

Isn't this all tampering?

Let Cowan and Robertson play, go get Ehlers... trade for a longer term 2C

Not that tampering isn’t rampant in the NHL, but most of what we’re hearing (including that tweet from Strickland) is hockey reporters talking directly out of their assholes.

Until marner signs at 12:02pm on July 1.

Ehlers is the move you regret before the inks dried.

 

[thehabhater]

If you quote him it defeats the whole group ignore thing ffs

I am not aware of any "group ignore thing".

Then you have not been paying attention…

Ehlers is good, but he is always hurt and not elite.

Its not hard to find good wingers. The key is using that cap space on centers and top pair D.

Ehlers had 4 g and 14 points in 38 playoff games before this year.

He’s turning 30 next year. No thanks.

Not if it didn't come from the team...

Don't teams ha a 5-day window to discuss with UFAs prior to July 1st ?

Because you're an adult ?

 

[Wayward DP]

I think they ended that

 

[thehabhater]
