Holy crap.  That game was on the TV next to the Sabres game so I was only partially paying attention. It was obvious that Tampa was controlling play, but holy crap... that differential.

JT at 11 million ,  Nylander 8 million, marner 9milion, Matthews will go after McDavid money, I guess 13 million.    That is half a cap on 4 forwards.

All of them producing elite-level offense. Teams don't get into cap trouble by paying elite players, they get into cap trouble by overpaying for (or over-committing to) the Milan Lucic's of the world.

Teams get in trouble for both, it's just that you can more easily and readily identify the latter situations. You still need depth and talent across the board to win in the NHL, something we learned the hard way last year

How many teams are currently unable to compete because they're too shallow due to paying elite players top money?

yes they do, but you look at the hawks and know they already have won 3 cups and you wish it were the sabres.

How many PPG players that were drafted last 5 years actually left money on the table to ice a better team.    I can only think of one.

Toronto will be in cap hell if they pay all those kids what they deserve.    Guess its a luxury for them to have it.

This thread is gloomy as Fuc** I am usually good at throwing a little lighthearted humor and defusing situations, but not here, and not lately. 

 

Y'all need to smoke some weed, eat some twinkies and watch impractical jokers. 

I've got 69 Jokers on DVR. ?

That's when the NHL raises the cap significantly.  You know it will happen.

Peter Laviolette does a press conference with a bull's head.  This was a reward to the team for winning 2 games out west.  This is the kind of thing I think almost every player would like their coach to do.  Good move Pete!  And yes, the Preds have the best record in the league right now.

Also, Charles Wang, that former, let's say "eccentric" owner of the Isles died Sunday.
