thewookie1 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Hawerchuk didn't like the best man in his wedding going back to the Peg. He dealt w/ it. These guys understand it's a business. I think he'll be in better shape, but it will be a challenge for ice time, we have more depth than previous years. He needs to work hard and wait for a break. Okposo would be upset if we get rid of him ASAP. I think a bit of both are true, if we don't give Moulson a chance to bounce back Okposo might not like it along with many of the team's player that are friends with MattyMo. However if he gets the opportunity and fails they'd likely all support it it and potentially even Moulson deep down would know he's lost it. Quote

I fully expect Moulson to be given an opportunity to rebound. Hell, there's really no reason not to try, and every reason to try. I just don't think he's capable of capitalizing on it. Quote

Huckleberry Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 IMHO, if he doesn't show something in training camp he's an Amerk. It makes little sense to buy him out right now. With the expansion draft next offseason and his buyout significantly less then, they can assess his future then. This, even if he doesn't make the team, you only buy him out after the season. Dangle him in front of Vegas and hope they pick him up. a buyout now isn't so good. Moulson buyout btw. http://www.generalfanager.com/buyouts/321 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 With Ennis back, Bailey pushing for a spot, Kyle O in the line up, I just don't know if he fits in anywhere. And if he is on fourth line he might get seven goals this year. I'll take that Quote

Just for fun ... select Shea Weber ... I've read the articles with their numbers, but there's something visceral about seeing the schedule .... Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Great, simple, site .. Just for fun ... select Shea Weber ... I've read the articles with their numbers, but there's something visceral about seeing the schedule .... lol wow, didn't think they'd have to pay him that long, and those last 3 years ouch. He'll be 41 in his last year I think. Atleast the Moulson buyout is somewhat manageable. Edited July 4, 2016 by Huckleberry Quote
The Jokeman Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 What do you propose to do with ol Matty MoI could see him in a coaching down the road. Quote
3putt Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 If he has a nmc, he must be protected in the expansion draft. That means exposing someone else of arguably greater value. If he has a nmc, it is disturbing. Quote
inkman Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 If he has a nmc, he must be protected in the expansion draft. That means exposing someone else of arguably greater value. If he has a nmc, it is disturbing. 15 posts earlier, it was stated he has a modified no trade clause Quote
3putt Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Players whose NMCs have limited no trade clauses must still be protected... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_NHL_Expansion_Draft Seems to be conflicting information Quote
Thorner Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Players whose NMCs have limited no trade clauses must still be protected... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_NHL_Expansion_Draft Seems to be conflicting information I think that's for players who have a NMC *with* a limited no trade included. Moulson I think just has a modified no trade. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Posted July 5, 2016 I think Moulson rebounds but he is on the road to decline. Quote
ubkev Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I think Moulson rebounds but he is on the road to decline. I think Moulson turned left down decline 3 years ago. He's reaching the end of the street now. Quote
akm Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Hard to see a rebound for me - it's just too logical to follow a downward trajectory as age increases. That said, I'm certainly rooting for it, as by all accounts he is a top notch guy who would be worthy of a "buck the trend" scenario. Quote
beerme1 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 If he has a ten point season he should retire. Quote
