as it sits, we have 6.725m in cap but thats with Ylonen on the rosterI mean we have 11 plus million in cap space.

He was very defensive, not taking sides just what I observed.Kind of a lousy presser. Wasn’t really grilled by the reporters, but I guess I can’t say I didn’t expect that to happen.
We’ll see what the next few days bring, as he said.
We have $6.725M and still need to sign Moser.I mean we have 11 plus million in cap space.
Christ, it’s like a breakupThis really hurts to read from stammer
“That's the toughest part is trying to hang on to something that maybe isn't trying to hang on to you and that was the tough part for sure. But like I said, the memories I've had in Tampa will always trump whatever ill will or feelings I've had throughout this process. Those are temporary, those are emotional decisions and you know as time passes, those usually go away.”
Don't get your hopes up here. He's probably talking about getting those roster spots filled. Which will most likely be leftover scraps from FA at this point. We don't have enough cap to sign a difference maker. Unless there's a trade or two.JBB got asked about having 10 F and needing 12. He said "My phone has been humming since I've been standing here. We're working on a few things, and hopefully we'll be able to announce them tonight...tomorrow...or in the coming days".
Moser shouldnt cost more than 2.5 to 3 million. So we had money to sign one of Mantha or Skinner. If JBB doesnt upgrade the forward and is wasting 2 million on deadweight like Sheary we are doomed.We have $6.725M and still need to sign Moser.
Skinner went to Edmonton for $3MMoser shouldnt cost more than 2.5 to 3 million. So we had money to sign one of Mantha or Skinner. If JBB doesnt upgrade the forward and is wasting 2 million on deadweight like Sheary we are doomed.
I don’t know if any of you follow “The Hockey Guy” on youtube but he said he agreed with JBB not signing Stamkos, fwiw.This really hurts to read from stammer

This. We aren't generating top 6 players out of FA now. Those are gone. It's either trade or Conor Sheary... come on down...Don't get your hopes up here.

He was available until like 10 minutes ago.Skinner went to Edmonton for $3M
I lost interest when I realized he writes an entire dissertation in size 2 font on his whiteboard. Gotta up the production quality. The changing jerseys and cats are a good touch, but dude... I can't read those boardsI don’t know if any of you follow “The Hockey Guy” on youtube but he said he agreed with JBB not signing Stamkos, fwiw.
That humming phone was Edmonton brass saying "gotcha bitch" as they sent a photo of the Skinner contract.He was available until like 10 minutes ago.
Just my thoughts but Skinner gets to go play in Canada and probably more importantly - the one team that's likely going the deepest next playoffs that showed interest in himMoser shouldnt cost more than 2.5 to 3 million. So we had money to sign one of Mantha or Skinner. If JBB doesnt upgrade the forward and is wasting 2 million on deadweight like Sheary we are doomed.
It is insane Mantha and Skinner are signing for 1.5 million more than we signed Sheary for and we can go all in on either of them.I lost interest when I realized he writes an entire dissertation in size 2 font on his whiteboard.

I like Edmonton… they feel like a “nice” team, does that make sense?Just my thoughts but Skinner gets to go play in Canada and probably more importantly - the one team that's likely going the deepest next playoffs that showed interest in him
Ylonen and Sheary hopefully wont be on the opening day roster. THat is almost 3 million in itself.as it sits, we have 6.725m in cap but thats with Ylonen on the roster
It was lousy. He looked nervous and unsure of how things were going to go in that presser and went for direct mitigation of hurt. Control and direct it elsewhere. Immediately pivoted to Guentzel and "the prime..." of players. Yet he's about to offer an extension to Hedman? Just days after unloading Sergachev? Weeks after bringing in mid 30s McD? He's full of shit.Some thoughts from the presser:
JBB talked about wanting to win now and compete for Cups, keep that window open, which has been unquestionably what he's tried to do with the roster the past 5 years, but there was also a lot of talk about adding Geekie, the "highest profile" prospect we've had in our pool the past few years, and creating a better pipeline. It just seems like these things conflict a little. Like some of us have said, are you going all in now, or is it more of a retool and set up for a year or 2 later? They've tried to trade away top 60, top 90 picks and prospects to "win now," and we haven't gotten the results we want out of that the past 2 years, so not a terrible thing to shift focus, but you either look to the present or look to the future.
He brought up his comments he made on Stammer from his end of the season presser after the Florida series. He said he meant everything he said, but if you go back and read them, it just doesn't like like that's true. The words don't match the actions. One of things he went hard into at that presser was how much Stammer meant as a leader, and then he kinda pulled back on that just now that it's more of a group thing. Don't necessarily disagree that leadership doesn't just come from 1 individual, but it felt more like a slant to down play Stammer's value.
He brought up there we various scenarios they presented to Stamkos. This presents them as being flexible, but he said himself the other day that he wouldn't change his offer after the Sergachev and Jeannot trades freed up more cap space.
I thought bringing up Kopitar was a strange thing. Like who cares what other franchise do with their star players, who they sign, who they trade, who they let go? They are them, we are us. You make your own decisions. There's many different variables as to why anyone does what they do. Why compare yourself to other GMs?
Bringing other players up may be irrelevant to fans and media, but I can also see why he'd know that.Some thoughts from the presser:

Guentzel will also be 30 when the season starts. He'll be 36 when this 7 year deal is up. So we're not just having him in his prime.It was lousy.

He wants a competitive team and future, duh. I want food and oxygen. Cool. That's not groundbreaking. He just made a stamp on his tenure as profound as two cup wins. If that's anybody apart from 77 or 91, it's not a big deal. He bullshitted to get outta that presser. Should run for a political office after his GM'ing career is over.
