Both Koivunen and Brunicke better end being studs because Jake is just a great player.
 
Who was gonna cost 9-10 mil a year until he's 38 to keep, at a time when we're not ready to win a series for years. That's if he even wanted to stay on a sinking ship.

We had 20 games left with him that we traded. That's it.
He would be a UFA at 36, we could have competed if we fired Sullivan, and the cap is going up.

We’re going to be paying 10 million to a 38 year old EK, 6 to a 42 year old Letang, and 4.5 to a 33 Ryan Graves.

The trade only made sense if we were doing a full rebuild which it looks like we aren’t.

His birthday is October 6th. You tack on a year before the season starts.

Anyways, other bad contracts existing does not give a GM a pass to pick up more.
Guentzel would serve no purpose here, since we're not winning a series for the next few years, whether he's here or not. It's much wiser to invest in things that will help when it matters again.

We would just be setting the torch to cap space and drafting worse.
 
Mears is a good PBP guy when he’s not calling my favorite team playing terrible hockey.

The only thing that stinks about watching Canadian broadcasts is seeing their election commercials.

I hated seeing them last year and now I'm seeing them again, but for a different country.
