That Brad Hunt reminds me of that guy on Hawaii 5-0.

Son of that famous actor who died. Sonny's kid.

I would agree but I also think they don't deserve to play in such a historic building.

We could just send it in pieces after the demo is started.

Its a shame it will be here no longer in anycase.

I still remember when the ol Edmonton Gardens came down. Took way more demolition than they anticipated to knock that down.

Ah well. Holland did his moves early. Nice to not stress on deadline day.

He will make more moves in the summer

Didn't they have to blow it up like 3 times? Haha.
 
I’m really hoping they add a depth D with NHL experience. Our options after our healthy guys in the right are very thin. Jason Demers is basically it no? At least on the left we can go 5 deep with Neimo

It's more this. There are about 10 markets that think that they can contend and want to load up for it, but can't.

Lots of moves, but not enough for a lot of the teams and their fans that are desperate to contend. Beyond just the deadline I think it is diminishing the overall quality of the on ice product over time as well. Teams will walk from the $3M QO on a decent player only to sign a player of lower overall quality to replace them only because it's cheaper.

The arbitration system and QO formula for RFA's only works if the cap escalates fairly consistently, but it hasn't so now the system is kind of broken. Mid tier players that should be in the league are getting pushed out prematurely.

I agree 100% with this assessment. A guy like Foegele is basically a mid level producer in the $2.25-3.25M range but he may be too expensive to keep and might require an asset to move even though he would be a better player than many of the teams with cap space have in his role. If the cap was at $88-90M next year you only move Foegele if you have a clear upgrade for him and you probably get an asset back.

It's getting a bit ridiculous with a few teams cornering the market on draft picks. Where will the 37 guys that Arizona drafts over the next three years even play?

Frankly, once the cap rises teams should start offer sheeting the teams that are hoarding cap space now. Make them pay all of these young picks top dollar.
