I want to know if GMKA forced Appert on Lindy
I want to know if GMKA signed off on the Europe trip or it was the owner/family
I want to know the exact reason we have 6.7M in cap space (per sportrac)
I want to know why GMKA signed a 1M 3rd goalie and lost him for nothing
It’s because our top 6 has three kids still on their ELCs in it. Which is very unusual, especially for a team trying to make the playoffs. All it would take is one good vet top 6 winger brought in and that cap space would be mostly gone.
To put into focus how inexpensive our top 6 is…….. Our 3rd line has a combined cap hit of 10.1mil. Thats more than all 4 (Quinn/Peterka/Benson/Tuch) of our top 6 wingers combined (7.4mil). Its even more than the total cap hit of all 6 players that have played top 6 winger so far (add in Krebs/Kulich and its up to 9.74mil cap hit).
We spent money on our bottom six. We spent money on our defense. It’s probably one of the more expensive d-corps. But we didn’t spend money on our top 6.
I don’t think it has anything to do with being cheap. I think it has everything to do with Adams obsession with his own guys. Everybody who is in the top six or played in it was either given big extensions by him, drafted by him or traded for by him.
