no cap space

[dubey]

Some serious roster mismanagement straight out of the gates this year.

"roster mismanagement" lol

 

[Canadian Finn]

Yes, going 1 man short for one game in order to get a free injury replacement is good management.

can you tell me if going 1 man short, and choosing that one man to be a backup goalie, the game after your starting goalie was injured mid game, is smart?

 

[Omar23]

I was also available for the game but I can't find my vintage Felix Potvin Koho's in the basement so I had to say no...

Is that zamboni driver still around ?

Are you suggesting not spending to the cap and leaving a guy like Kase off the roster because we could be short 1 man for 1 game? lol

 

[yubbers]

Yes, going 1 man short for one game in order to get a free injury replacement is good management.

Now it's free? I thought they spent money to be good managers? We're not gonna agree here. It's not a huge deal unless Cambpell goes down. Which is low odds.

A soft cap would allow teams like Tampa Bay to stay together and up and coming teams like Colorado and Toronto the flexibility to improve their rosters.

Don’t think the leagues going to change cap rules, so Toronto can buy a cup

 

[Omar23]

What's funnier is that this move will allow the leafs to operate over the cap while their teams are stuck under.

Nice to be among the smart teams, such as Vegas, who played 10 games short a man last year, and even a game THREE men short, in order to maximize cap benefits.

You mean like how smart Tampa bay was during the playoffs. Yeah love smart teams

Given that Jack has never been pulled out of a game for injury even once in his career, I'm thinking yeah its a pretty good wager that it won't happen for the first time in this one solitary game we choose to have no backup.

It's ironic that a fan of the Red Wings, of all teams, is trying to claim it's bad to buy a Cup. Pretty much what the Wings did in 2002...

Oh, and if "buying a Cup" is so easy, how come no one else was able to pull it off in the decade without a cap?

They didn't "choose" to have no backup.

They didn't have a choice

They could have sent down amadio and called up Hutch.

It was a choice.

 

[uncleben]

That’s not how the cap works, the amount of cap tied up in injured but not LTIRed players is irrelevant. It wouldn’t matter if it was Spezza, Amadio, and Simmonds out or Matthews, Marner and Tavares, the situation would be the same.

Correct, sorry, I meant versus getting 17M relief on LTIR, or otherwise not having those cap hits

Correct though - even if it was 3 league min players, it'd be the same situation

Must be embarrassing for Colorado

What a disaster Sakidiot is, completely roster mismanaging the cap

How many NHL goalies?

1, unless he shits the bed or gets injured.

Regardless, everyone freaking out that it happened to Toronto and Dubas mismanaging anything was wrong. It literally happened to another team in the same night. The Leafs chose to sit a goalie rather than a F or D but Avs were backed into the exact same corner.

That’s terrible. I guess there some consolation in not being the only one mismanaging the cap.

What you call mismanaging, most call managing. Both the Leafs and Avs are taking a small low risk gamble to add a free player to their cap.

 

[zeke]

Phew!!

Dubas SO SO LUCKY Jack didn't get injured mid game for the first time in his career.

 

[The Podium]

Well that was a big fuss for a whole lotta nothing.

That's the central theme of this forum

This year is gonna be like the Walking Dead all year, ain't it?

One crack in the defenses and the zombie hordes are coming for blood.

But we can beat them back, boys, if we stick together.

Question
In the chance dubas and keefe get fired, you usually do this oft here’s also other good options out there to hire

what GM’s and head coaches are out there as good options?

 

[Leaf Fans]

David Ayers? He works for CIMCO now. Zamboni driver was only part of his job though he was operations manager at Coca-cola arena. So I am not sure if you mean him.
