Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

I don't see UFA signings with Harris and Caufield needing new deals and prospects knocking on the door. I just don't. Not this summer anyway.
 
As for 24-25, the only notables dropping off are Hoffman, Alzner and Wideman. About 6m.

This summer is when they dump a lot of dead wood and they're still only left with about 13m in space and have to replace Monahan, Drouin, Dadonov, Byron.

The RFA this summer are:

Cole Caufield
Jordan Harris

Anthony Richard
Michael Pezzetta

The latter two should be gone. I can see them giving Richard a QO but Pez? He needs gone.

Basically, I'm not seeing this plethora of cap space without more creativity. You will also need to factor in $4.5m in potential bonuses on the books for 23-24.
13M + 10.5 in Price LTIR
 
I’d rather use our cap space to acquire bad contracts for picks and prospects.
I've been a very loud proponent of that for years. If a bad team has capspace, call teams like Ottawa for Zaitsev, or San Jose for Vlasic, or Vancouver for Myers, etc. and see if you can get some picks & prospects out of them.

What Arizona's done is great, as long as they're able to get some hits and build a real prospect pipeline. If they blow all of their drat picks and they amount to nothing, then it's rinse & repeat.
 
Hockey stuff

So laughable the arrogance and they likely think I'm the arrogant one. 😂

They are going nowhere until their best players rise and produce like stars collectively when it matters

Some teams get to the playoffs , others get you through and there are no more excuses barring major injuries

Leafs had 2 years of gifts handed to them and failed
 
He is your Guentzal if you got Sid/Geno/Letang elite core

If CC has to be to a major core piece your fucked
You’re just embarrassing yourself now. I’m starting to feel sorry for you at this point. You said that he’s not a first line wing on a top team. He is. Anyone with a functioning brain realizes that.

Your drinking with Sal ...on your fourth bottle
 
Sal actually has quite expensive tastes. We've discussed such with Rolex in a thread long ago. That's what makes the Rose thing hilarious for me.
 
Caufield is tied for 9th in goals in the NHL. Every player above him and tied with him, and tons below him, play on their team’s top line. I like Geeman but he’s a dolt sometimes. Like here. We know the Habs suck. Devaluing Caufield doesn’t help his argument. He’s already right that we suck.

I think he ends up on the second line with Suzuki in 2-3 years. Right now? He's top line no doubt.
