Thing is, the way they have it works for an honest league. For example, we were in a playoff spot, but by no means guaranteed around the TDL. Say Draisaitl went down with an injury that would definitely last until the 2nd round or later, I think we should be able to use his cap on going for a bit of a replacement in someone like Brock Nelson or whatever. I would think the same for any team that lost a star like that legitimately.

The issue is when surgeries are delayed, everything is shrouded in a veil of secrecy, or you have weird stuff like Hossa becoming allergic to his equipment (though I think he just retired with that one?), and then they are perfectly fine for game 1.

I don't know what the solution is tbh. Selfishly, I kinda hope it ends up in a softer cap.

I’m at the point where I think I’d be happy with just no salary cap after the deadline if the NHL isn’t willing to make common sense adjustments to how LTIR works. Haven’t thought about the far reaching impact of that, but on instinct I think I would prefer it to whatever this is.

Hate the D pairings. Emberson-Brown is nightmare-ish. They will be pinned in their zone all night as neither is all that great at moving the puck

Would much rather have Dineen in than Brown

I’d rather Dineen or Klingberg or 5 d and throw back in Kapanen

Or Klingberg.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

[yukoner88]

Let's go Oilers, let's play a tight game

Yup. Dineen is a great skater and has a great break out pass. But I guess the team wanted size and I get that but that’s all brown has. lol

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Locked in

 

[McShogun99]

Brown is in the send a message. Not to the Kings but to Knob to never play him again.

 

[dssource]

Cheers to a long and great playoff run!

 

[KCC]

Come on edm. Surprise me in a good way. Especially Stu. Not holding my breath on that one but still. All we can hope is that he had a short leash when he flounders. Literally. It’s what he does in net. lol

I have size. Can I start tonight?

My stream is showing Habs Caps... is this another midnight start for the Oilers?

Look for Sportsnet West. I think Pacific is still playing Habs-Caps.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Let's f***in' go!

In like another twenty minutes.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Alright, Trent. Don't suck!

 

[Mr Positive]

Woah. Ovie opens the scoring for the Caps and wins it in OT

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

GIVE THEM NOTHING..

... TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING

 

[nexttothemoon]

Hopefully every player can hold together for 60 minutes for once.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Foegle you traitor you suck

 

[RegDunlop]

Walman..... Freddie in?

 

[MessierThanThou]

Alright, Trent. Don't suck!

I was going to say the same for Josh Brown, but I don't think he's capable of not sucking.
