How ironic…

 

[CH1]

My new infatuation is acquiring Blake Coleman to slot next to Suzuki / Caufield

I thought about that last month...already over it. I don't hate it...but too much of a chance he can't play on the top 2 lines. Perfect 3rd liner tho!

fuck Coleman

No thanks. I'm straight

 

[Habspatrol]

Coleman for cheap would be okay. Not what I'm really hoping for though.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I'm kinda fine staying pat to be honest.

Yep. Let the wounded return, set up for contract liquidation on July 1 and then look at moves.

Yeah Laine can go as his contract is up, we could buy out 11.

Texier is up as is Blais iirc but I think they like Texier as a 4th liner at least

Could let Dach go too

You know what's hard to believe?

Patrick Laine is 27 years old. When he suits up for his first game, he'll be the 23rd youngest player to play an NHL game for us this year.

I repeat: 22 players under the age of 27 have played at least one game for us this year.

How many are core? How many are under long term contracts. Just 93 and 32 to secure for this group.

This is a massive strategic advantage.

Yup 93 will cost us big moola and I expect from loaded on 8 years

91 and 32 are manageable contracts

Most of our heavy lifting deals are locked in on team friendly deals

cap will go up and Hughes will use his Sith powers on him to take less than Suzuki

Ship has sailed. Suzuki is 2nd class. Dobson makes 9.5. And Hutson 8.85

I thought you can negotiate a year in advance on July 1

93 will get more pts than 14 next year. Hell, he might get more points for the remainder of this season.

For those whose present contracts expire June 30
