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.

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 1

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.

Y'all need to smoke some weed, eat some twinkies and watch impractical jokers. I've got 69 Jokers on DVR. ?

WildCard Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Posted October 22, 2018 Edmonton has scored 13 goals this season. Buffalo has 22

IKnowPhysics Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Good article in the A by Lebrun about Nylander's contract situation and how it compares to Peca/Sabres, with interviews of Peca and Regier.
BagBoy Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 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. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25055985/coach-lightens-predators-mood-wears-bull-head-road-wins Also, Charles Wang, that former, let's say "eccentric" owner of the Isles died Sunday.
