Lundell ain't getting anywhere close to 5 million.

He just had 17 pts in 24 games. He will get between 4 and 5. That's comparable to what they did the bring with Bennett in a lower cap world.

 

[Malkinstheman]

JR just cant help himself. A bunch of cap space coming off a great season and hes handing out NMCs to old, mid players. Dude needs to be locked in a closet from June-August

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Is he their Mike Sullivan?

The GM is just a puppet to someone higher?

He's an RFA without arb rights. They can f*** him hard.

I suppose ya. Maybe they go that route.

Just speculation but I can't imagine JR being a hands off president. Especially with a rookie GM like Allvin

 

[Pens x]

This fanbase is back to the Shero days where we sit around and criticize every other team while we do nothing. Get ready for the Dubas cant make teams trade with him, hindsight is 20/20, you cant make players sign here, how do you know he didnt try to sign/acquire x player and at least Dubas didnt sign x player excuses.

We’ve come full circle

Oh no, every move has JR's MO on them.

Dubas is either at PF Chang’s or sleeping based on the habits of our last GMs lol

They are super desperate for the right side and without Myers it's pretty bad. Not that Myers should be your best option there, because he definitely isn't if Allvin looked at the trade market.

Excuse me, Chad Ruhwedel is three days away from being a UFA.

Sullivan is busy creating the most bomb powerpoint presentation for why Kindergarten Kyle needs to trade Karlsson and re-sign Chad Ruhwedel.

Excuse me, Chad Ruhwedel is three days away from being a UFA.

Lol, the timing...

Don’t laugh… bet he gets re-signed lol

 

[Gurglesons]

God. I hope not..

 

[Andy99]

God. I hope not..

He’s one of Sullivan’s boys lol

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I wonder who this year's "oh that guy's an AHL signing/camp tryout, he'll never play meaningful time--but he inevitably plays 50+ games with the NHL team" pickup is gonna be.

[Epic Neal Time]

If Dubas isn't in on that, we might as well sell.

I like this trade for the Capitals, but I also like Smith for a 3rd so what the Hell do I know?

 

[Epic Neal Time]

That's probably the ceiling for a Smith return

 

[Andy99]

The front office, development and coaching on this team is bottom 10 in the league. Didn’t use to be that way but sadly it is now

 

[Sideline]

Calgary has like 29MM of cap space and no really expensive free agents pending. I wonder what they do with all that space?
