Just remember what happens when you build your Death Star on the cheap...

 

[stawns]

I thinking missing out on depth signings is making this day a big miss.

Well, cap space. How many trades have we seen that are a player and a pic for FC.

He is a depth defenseman, nothing wrong with that.

It's the Tax. They look at their takehome pay.

 

You can thank the Trudeau libs and Eby NDP for that

Looking like they misplayed all their hands this offseason.

 

This is what happens when you get hung up on one free agent.

 

Waiting on Guentzel while plan B, C, D, and E go elsewhere.

 

There were moves to be made here that didn’t involve stupid money but management was asleep at the wheel.

Damn, Oilers got Arvidsson

Disappointment so far by management. So many holes. Forbert is old. We have def got worse today. I agree not spending crazy money but not having assets to trade to fill holes is concerning.

So you wanted management to be going full Benning today ? It's fun to have something to chew on on July 1. I get it. But to be stuck with shitty deals for 6-7 years just to enjoy July 1 doesn't sound like a good idea to me

Kind of interesting that PA said he wouldn't overpay but he offered $5M/yr x 5.  Would one more year mean overpaying?  This stinks, especially after giving up assets for Lindholm, Zadorov and trading Mik.  I can only hope that they have a plan to use the cap space to get good assets and picks back from the teams tight with cap space.

[fanfor42]

Zadorov gets 5M from Boston. Tell me again why we didn't keep him?

[Enigma]

So, Zadorov, Lindholm, Cole, Rafferty all gone. Toffoli and Tanev signed elsewhere. We still haven't signed anyone. Have I missed anything?

You ain't getting anyone good. So we are now a garbage dump team?

Because he turned down 5M from the Canucks
