At I guess I'd say it was to help keep the actual cap hit down, which was even more important than usual with the flat cap in place. Remember he was coming off a ppg season and 24 in 20 in an ECF run. He was a legit first line centre and was going to get paid

Drury paid unders, but sacrificed flexibility to get it

Then why give him a NMC until the last season of his contract?

You would sign Copp for 5 mil? He sign Trocheck for 5.6 mil. He made good deadline trades with those guys. It's debatable that any of them should have been signed long term. He signed Chytil, Laf, Kakko, Lindgren to reasonable deals. I like his drafting also. Othmann, Sykora, Berard, and Perrault with be important parts of this team in the near future. We

Copp maybe could have signed for less, but you know what was blocking him?

Goodrow.

Instead of calling up Hartford players and having a kid line 2.0 of sorts, he gets Pitlick, Bonino, Wheeler, and is fine with Brodz in the line-up.

Again I'd be guessing, but I'd say not having a NMC until the end adds $$ to the cap hit. Rightly or wrongly (and we'll see over time) Drury chose lower $$ over ease of movement

Huberdeau with the retention to make it $8.5M for us anyway, for Mika?
 
Anyone in here saying this is why Ottawa got rid of Zibanejad because this is what they saw - give it a rest. Seriously. That trade was, and still is, highway robbery. Someone on here is going to try and seriously tell me the Ottawa Senators organization saw something with Zibanejad to get rid of him? lol

No, I don't agree with what Mika did tonight that is getting the most fanfare in this thread, but some of the posts in here are ridiculous. There are things I would change with how Mika is utilized. (ex: anticipated pp one timer, 5v5 marriage with kreider)

Chytil I hope you can get back soon so we sort the deck, please.
 
Wow, went to bed after the 2nd cause I thought for sure they can at least lock it down against this friggin team. Holy hell I should have known better.

Did everyone on this team just simultaneously give up on hockey? WTF is going on

WTF, I fell asleep at 2-0 against the league's worst team and this is what I am greeted by?

Makes it easy to identify the die-hards.

Unfortunately being a Rangers die hard just means you are willing to sacrifice sleep to strap a digital toilet seat to your face so the Rangers can pinch a beefy loaf off on it for a few hours. Glad I took the toilet seat off last night before the big chocolate log arrived.
 
This was obvious. I was ringing the alarm bell in december and people were laughing as I said winning was covering up a lot of really bad signs of this team.

The core is garbage. Theyre a bunch of mental midgets who simply do not care enough about hockey. Theyre soft, no one competes, outside of cuylle and occasionally laff no one is willing to lay a hit on the forecheck.

Whens the last time you can recall our guys getting mad and engaging in a post whistle scrum? The country club attitude and mentality doesnt win. This team is going nowhere til the core is blown up.

People didn't laugh because you were wrong about the team being bad. They laughed because you wanted to trade Fox for Brady Tkachuk.
