Sorry can’t remember if we chatted before as there’s some of us on this site that are transplanted easterners here in BcNo. I will stay away for the same kind of reasons that you stated.
Plus I might get mugged if the Leafs win and I might get mugged if the Leafs lose.
I’ll be at the game. Kind of regret buying the ticket. I thought the team would at least be a playoff team. My nosebleed seats cost like $200. My Caucks fan friend is going to be so annoyed at me getting drunk and ranting about unprecedented dramatic overpayments.
Cool

That's where you sign a guy like Pietrangelo or resign Barrie if he can some come around.Amazingly, the D as a whole would almost be cheaper than some of the forwards alone
Dermy, Holl and Mik get resigned. Let's hope all 3 in bridge deals under 2M per. Ceci and Barrie get traded for picks as both make too much for their performance. Muzzy I would only give him the minimum raise for max 3 years (maybe 2) and if he elects UFA so be it but what he brings we would need to replace.
Bettman usually comes out with his rosy CAP outlook after BOD mtg but this year he declined to comment. and has asked players union to use the escalator to drive up CAP because he says there is TOOOOOO much money floating around in the system next year and following year i.e. we can't drive the CAP up using league revenues so we need the players to do it. But the players are driving down the escrow holdbacks the last 3 years of the current way too complicated CBA. So what you will see are very weak gains in CAP next 2 seasons while things catch up. But I love the TOOOO much money floating around comment. Totally confuses everyone. Typical Bettman.
Who knows where it got leaked out but typical Bettman when asked he went totally quiet. For a guy with a lot to say it is telling. But I had heard this for some time now. Everything will come out clear as mud. People thinking CAP going up big next 2 years are sadly mistaken.
