[Habspatrol]

Provorov to Habs rumor.

That would be a great add... depending on the cost of course.

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Eklund rumour, so no Provorov lol

 

[GGpX]

Say what you want about Eklund, but he's always had Philly connections.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Would Philly throw in Provorov to take JVR off their hands for a Byron or Armia contract?

Throw Poehling in the deal, be a good buddy for DeAngelo.

 

[Habsy]

I really hope it's not Klingberg

...What?

What in the fuck are you even going on about?

If you have an auction then teams with the most money can always outbid the ones that have less. Or would this auction be working within the existing cap system?

Nobody's talking about removing or altering the cap.

Just let the players, like any other line of work, choose where they want to earn a living.

My idea has always been: Every team should have a specific amount of money allotted to the "auction" (for lack of a better word) that they can spend however they want. If they want to spend the minimum on the maximum amount of players, go for it. If they want to spend all of it on a single player, go for it.

I've always found it pretty ridiculous that players on ELC contracts are forced to play well beneath their production. Everyone knew McDavid was going to be great, the ELC money was ridiculous. But if McDavid 2.0 was available this year, and the maximum amount every team had was (for example) $10M? Let McDavid 2.0 choose where he wants to play if the money is identical instead of being forced to go somewhere undesirable.

Not sure what the "several files" are, but there is this:

That’s an interesting idea.

Do you send a “corrupt file” when running late on delivery?

FWIW - Melnick on TSN690 said Hughes likely won’t talk today “he’s working on a deal.. it may go into tomorrow”
