Joking? Source? Ah crap. Source.
Boldy, too. OTOH, Kap will be at home sitting on the couch with his feet up.So Ek, Gus, Brodin, and Faber are going to play in a meaningless tournament this winter. Fantastic.
Guessing he’s going to come back from the break with a pretty great tan.Boldy, too. OTOH, Kap will be at home sitting on the couch with his feet up.
So with the exception of Kap, all of the crucial players are going to be there. I hope they coast like it's the damn All-Star game. It's not the Olympics, so why have it mid-season when teams are in the middle of a playoff race? Guys can get hurt and miss the most important time of the year for their clubs. It's beyond stupid.Boldy, too. OTOH, Kap will be at home sitting on the couch with his feet up.
I'm surprised the board of governors has even allowed it. Must be pretty damn important to the players for them to do so.So with the exception of Kap, all of the crucial players are going to be there. I hope they coast like it's the damn All-Star game.

I expect Gus Bus to be on the roster in 2 years.Continuing, if we get rid of spurge, the consent even have to go up that much for us to pull something like this off. Again, next year projections are 95-97M, 2 years from now upwards of 110M. I went with 105 to be conservative, and that’s still more than enough for this team: View attachment 940482View attachment 940483View attachment 940484
Maybe. We can Make the cap work if he is. However, I think Guerin is gonna be weary of paying him what he’s earned due to inconsistent play.I expect Gus Bus to be on the roster in 2 years.
I don't understand the panic over losing Kaprizov. There's been no talk of him being unhappy here and we currently have the best record in the league.I believe he will be traded this offseason. He’s got a 10 Team NTC, and is playing well enough that he should be able to get offloaded to a team in win now mode. I think that they’re even giving him more opportunity to try and prop up his value.
A driving reason why they brought in Jiricek is to slide him into that 2/3RD role next season. The is going to be to move him, give Kaprizov the C, make Kaprizov the highest paid player in league history, promise jersey retirement, keys to the city, etc.
They’ll take whatever’s left over to go sign someone other guys.
I also believe that, if they can’t get Kaprizov signed this summer, they will go after Marner/Rantenen as an insurance option and then keep trying to get something done with Kaprizov throughout the season.
