All those contracts will be done by the time we are ready to contend again. You need someone eating up cap space while you go with the youth movement. With Prust, Vrbata, Hamhuis, Higgins, even Burrows off the books we will need the other guys to reach cap floor.

The problem is that the cap room they are eating hinders us from acquiring or signing players to get better

Omg. Benning is nothing if not blunt and honest. He wasn't playing both sides. He truly believed he improved the team a great deal. He didn't. Being in contention for a top 5 pick was never in the cards. Ever. He constructed a team with no depth, that wasn't good when healthy and has paid the price. He has mis-evaluated players every step of the way.

What? :laugh: People have been ripping into Vrbata all season (including today's game). Use the search function.

And people have been ripping Gillis acquisitions since he was hired. But overall, yes, his acquisitions have been better. There's a reason why he won GM of the year.

Vrbata was a Benning signing :facepalm:
I know he was. It was just another point. I'm just saying this game Vrbata gets no slack, but apparently Dorsett, the 4th liner is the one to blame for this loss. That's what I get from most posters around here.

It's not Dorsett himself, its Willies use of him

so you have no idea why we would have different expectations for a guy who got 30 last year, and is on pace for 20, then a guy making more than Hansen, who has been terrible in his "role"

I don't know what to say.

We will have a ton of cap space this summer. We will lose almost 10 mil and no one due for a big raise. Vey, Etem and Baertschi should collectively come in under 4 mil.

Hey! Just came in to say that it's awesome to see you guys brought back the Halloween jerseys tonight! Always wanted to see the Sedins wearing those. It would have been even better if you could have painted the flying skate over Free Willy for the one evening too! Thx!
