If I was betting, this.
If he's going to stay in the NHL, I think it'll be in Florida.

Why in hell would he be in Fla? Both teams have no need for him.

Assuming he's not talked out of retiring, with Kiprusoff gone would the Flames have interest in Bryz?
Combination of things probably holding GMs back, not least of which is wondering if any big names will be bought out and suddenly become available as a free agent. You don't want to blow your wad and then have someone suddenly available that you can't try to sign.
Obviously, Flames don't want to lose their title of worst managed team in the NHL.
That's what you think now. Then they trade Gardiner for some "playmaker power forward" who rests 51 weeks per year and you wonder why you ever looked forward to this.

Gardiner for Upshall confirmed.
He killed the Leafs but I love Bergeron. What a warrior. I can be critical of the stupid Bruins medical team and fall in love with Bergeron too...
lol no Suter-Brodin
Just give us Galchenyuk
And yea I agree Bergeron is really amazing, pretty damn underrated for what he does.
I'm looking forward to this, best was Suter-Weber.
Potentially (or already, probably) best defensive D pairing, yes. Best offensive D pairing... No idea. Markov-Subban? :lol
*woosh*
You already have the best passer in the league, you don't need A.Gally.
Without question, best PP pairing for sure too.

Lightning re-sign Keith Aulie to a one-year deal.

:lol Ovi only has 8 years left on his deal and he's 27.
Richards is the best 4th line C in the league, don't hate.

Why is the draft on Sunday? I have to work. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Get your grubby paws away from Goalchenyuk!

Richards should be fine, he should have played during the lockout. If they amnesty him it will have everything to do with cap recapture. But don't think that's happening. Oh well.
Change we can (cunt?) believe in.

This offseason is going to be depressing. We have one of the worst GMs in the league who thinks his team is SC-caliber and overvalues every single player on the roster. I'll consider is offseason a success if we buyout Jeff Schultz. I can't wait to see what dumpster diving we do this year. It also sucks that there isn't another regular here who is a Caps fan (not counting the multiple accounts that are also Toronto fans).
FLEECED!

Brian Burke punched my mom
The cap recapture is a big fucking deal. Richards has to be bought out or the team is fucked in a few years. The only question is do you buy him out now or do you take a gamble that he won't be injured next year? It sounds like the team is leaning towards the latter.
The other issue with not buying Richards out now is that we'll basically have just enough cap space this year to resign our 4 major RFAs (McDonagh, Stepan, Hagelin, Zuccarello) and that's about it. If we want to actually bring in talent from somewhere else to bolster the roster, we may not have the room to do it. And resigning Clowe is probably right out (though his concussions are mostly to blame there).

I'm not worried about it. They find a way.
Easily one of the worst GM and owner combos in the league.

Don't think this has been posted:
Shattenkirk 4 years, 4.25. As good as that's going to get. Thinking 8/6.25 for Petro now. Stewart is probably the next one that gets announced unless he's overestimating his value.

GO TO HELL!
We really need another big body that can play with Backis and Ovi.
As we saw in the playoffs, Scarlett and Pickles are just happy to defer every good chance.
Horton would be perfect if we don't bring back Ribs...
Also bring back Orlov, Erskine was trash in the playoffs.

I'm just having some fun.
Oates unfortunately doesn't rate Orlov and is obsessed with playing guys on the side they shoot with. I would rather let Ribeiro go and make sure we sign Mojo and Alzner to good contracts. Buyout Schultz and then use whatever cap space is left to sign a decent FA. I'd also like to get rid of Neuvirth and Laich.
who is Pickles?

A few days ago McPhee was saying that he really likes his team, he's not interested in trading Neuvirth and that he won't really be active in free-agency.
It's crazy to think that he's been the Caps GM for 16 years. With a tenure that long, you'd think he has 2-3 Cups under his belt. :lol

Backstrom.
- 5 year plan!
- Young Guns!
- Please buy more tickets!
- Number 1 overall pick John Wall!
On opening day I'd like to see this:
Ovi-Backstrom-Horton ($5.5)
Erat-Ribs($5)-Brouwer
Laich-Perreault-Ward
Volpatti-Beagle-Chimera
Alzner-Green
Carlson-Orlov
Oleksy-Hillen
Erskine
Holtby
Neuvy
Trade Mojo, dude can't cut it in the playoffs when the checking is tight.
Fuck I miss Semin, dude was a beast against Boston.

I'd trade one of those overpaid third liners in a package deal that nets us a defenseman.
Lets look at the Leafs lineup!
JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Grabo-xxxx
xxxx-xxxx-Kulemin
Orr-McClement-xxxx
Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Franson-Gardiner
Fraser-XXXX
Reimer
Bernier
Boy we need some forwards, I don't think im missing anyone? I wonder if some of our prospects will get a chance this year with so many spots open. We just need someone to move Gunnarson to the bottom pairing.
We have some guys that could slot in on the 3rd/4th line but no real center for that line specifically barring we don't sign Bozak and send Grabo to line #3. I could see D'Amigo, Ashton, Kenny Ryan maybe getting looked at. Heck Ziggy is a center, we could slot in McClement on the 3rd line if he can make his way on to the team to center the 4th, but I doubt it. It'll be interesting to see if Biggs can make any type of impact but its doubtful so soon. There is no real spot for any of our D prospects yet so I don't see anything happening there.

Go on.... Enough to package some D-men to trade to Col and get your Suter replacement.
