  1. Yes. And then next year? "Well Ladd isn't really a #1 LW and he's going to want to be paid like one so we better get rid of him." And the year after that -- "Well Perreault isn't a #2 C/LW and he's going to want to be paid like one so we better get rid of him." And so on, and so on. I mean, who exactly are you comparing Frolik to when you say he's a sub-par 2RW? Look around the league and you might be surprised by who is passing for a #2 RW on other teams. We could do a lot worse. And Burmi is a lot worse, if that's the solution. You can't look at Chicago and say "Well player X wouldn't be a second liner on Chicago so we shouldn't pay him like a second liner." No, I'd be prepared to pay Ladd more then I am Frolik. As for Perreault,if he is looking for 5 - 6M AAV, then I'm not sure I would take him at that price either. I'd give Perreault $5M per based on what he showed last season. I think he's a better player than Frolik, he just needs to show that he can stay healthy. Tough to do on this team. Just about everyone was injured at one point last year. Coach says its not related to their style of play but come on....
  2. Moose goalie Never thought much about him.
  3. Vancouver? Ewww cheap. Loved first film, not much cared for second.
  4. Johnny Denmark!
  5. My 2 rules 1. No Russians 2. Trade UFA's at deadline.
  6. Kinda weird to have a contract expire in mid-summer and not at end of season.
  7. Toby too small, too high a contract. If DB was under contract for a couple years...maybe but even then I doubt it but it's AZ and they might be ripe for a pickin.
  8. There are 3 picks this year and after that they're all rated the same.
  9. That's crazy chit on both counts. After the way they played without him? Course you could say that about Jets without Buff too.
  10. Outside of Vegas and QC I don't know anyone else who wants a team.
  11. By: Stephen Whyno, The Canadian Press LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The salary cap will be higher next season than some NHL teams had feared. The league and Players' Association announced Tuesday that the cap will be US$71.4 million for 2015-16. That's a $2.1-million increase from this season's $69 million, more than expected a few months ago. The weak Canadian dollar led projections to be in the $70-71 million range. What helped push the cap to $71.4 million was the NHLPA triggering its five per-cent escalator clause to increase the cap. Players have the option of raising the cap five per cent each year, but because of escrow there's reason for those with contracts to vote against it. Ultimately, they decided to do it, which puts more money into the system and gives cap-strapped teams a bit of relief this summer. Teams up against the cap like the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers will benefit the most, though they'll still need to shed salary before October. On the other side, the likes of the Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators will need to spend to reach the new cap floor of $52.8 million.
  12. RIP Nature Boy Buddy Landel http://wate.com/2015/06/22/knoxville-wrestler-buddy-landel-dies-at-53/
  13. Below cap and yet lose 20m a year. Aaaiiieee!
  14. Lots of trade talk none involving Toby though
  15. http://screenrant.com/star-trek-uncharted-fan-pitch/
  16. Ivan took a Burmi and has played in Moscow since he refused to play for the Ice Caps in 2013. I think we have written him off.
  17. And a one way deal at that.
  18. O'Dell and Armia will play together in Winnipeg, just not for the Jets. i think they will let Morrissey age in the minors. I hope you don't have LLW as the 2nd line?
  19. I;m shocked at the signing. Thorburn seems to have more speed and and dare i say more offensive capabilities for a hired gun then Peluso. 675k the new NHL low?
  20. In the paper it said ex-Bomber Khan had 4 places running at the stadium. Does he have 4 running during the football season?
  21. We ended up getting Jimmy Lodge, JC Lipon, Jan Kostalek and Tucker Poolman in that trade. 4 solid prospects. It's not like we would have won the Cup if Oduya was here. I just don't understand the thought process of some fans. Yes I do love that Oduya trade, especially considering he was going to be a UFA when we traded him. And while Chicago got a great deal on his subsequent contract, they are a contending team and we never would have gotten that deal if he would have even re-signed. But he's like the only UFA we've traded near/at the deadline.
  22. I do not like to compare generations so just say he's one of the best this era.
  23. I read a couple of threads about this and the general belief is that the auto pilot WOULD disengage and from that point anything could happen.including nose dive. Here's a good link https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/latest/a/22235213/flight-recreated-in-777-simulator/
