I’m sick of Cmac being so f***ing responsible when it comes to the cap. Has he not yet caught on from his counterparts? Just sign Jo today and figure the f***ing rest out later. You have Landy who hasn’t played in 2 years. Nuke isn’t even allowed back until November. Lehky probably won’t be ready. You have Manson who’s a porcelain doll.
I realize you need to have the space available to activate Nuke but dear god Cmac, no other GM in the league would give a f*** right now. They’ll fake another injury or figure something out at the time when they need to (if they need to). With the list of bandaids on this team you’ll likely never have to manipulate the cap anyway but if you do, just figure it out like other GM’s have. Acquire a Carey Price, acquire a shea Weber. Have your captain say the f***ing artificial cartilage in his f***ing knee is acting up for 3 weeks until the next band aid can be put on LTIR.
Look, Cmac is a savvy GM. He does some nifty business. I like a lot of what he does. But I absolutely don’t like the fact that he’s an absolute nerd and refuses to bend some rules that are completely bendable. Stop being a p***y. Start doing what the others have been doing forever.
It’s even rubbed off on the fan base. I’m here reading a bunch of civilized internet hockey fans talking about how their GM can’t fit a few million dollars in until November. Come on!!! Where’s the selfish, “Rules don’t apply to our team” attitude other clueless fans around the league expect their GM to pull off today.
