Congratulations to TB and Byrddog.
Thanks I will be honest with you the Blue Jackets played the Bolts better than any team they faced, Every game both teams emptied all the effort they had. I was disappointed against the Stars that the allowed them to win that second game this team is so good they have periods of just going thru the motions. Now to keep the band together is going to be tough. I would like Poile to go after a couple of Tampa's players if in fact they have to move Killorn he would be a good fit on the 2nd line here. I wanted Poile to try to get him back before he signed his last contract. Also Carter Verhaghe would be a nice addition the kid is ready to play up in the line-up now there is just no where for him in Tampa and little Cap to resign him. My Smith in Tampa is Cirelli I hope they move him but most of the fans think he can walk on water while like Smith he will have a good game or two and go missing in action for long stretches.Congratulations to TB and Byrddog.
But why?Want your opinion guys, let's say the Preds go as cheep as they can. Would this work?

1st pick-TBA, Bonino traded for his contract, Santini and Turris boughtout. 11.97 Million under cap. 22 players
Poile isn't going to buy out Turris. He won't want to have that much dead cap space for 6 years.
Teams aren't eating 6 years of a buyout. He might be willing to eat some, but I think if he was willing to go 50% it would have been done already.I agree. I think worst he trades at 50% As for the post above, 2020 man. Also I'm watching teams do the same thing

He isn't though, the contract isn't hurting anyone but the owners.Or every other GM knows Poile is f***ed.

Right but if you are an owner you would much rather pay a guy to play for you than to play for someone else, especially for 6 years.Who decides Poile's budget.
That is a roster that is 80 points or less. And while I agree with you every GM knows Poile is screwed many of them are in a similar situation needing to move Cap out and add quality at a lessor price. There is going to be plenty of players available and Turris is not attractive even with retention.Want your opinion guys, let's say the Preds go as cheep as they can. Would this work?

Thanks, never heard of him but saw he’d been in the league awhile.
Had flashes in Ottawa, but wasn't very good for Toronto (and they overpaid him). Granted, nobody looks good defensively in Toronto (unless you're purely talking about defensemen putting up points). Maybe a cheap, short-term contract to play on the 3rd pair though? There are probably worse options.Thanks, never heard of him but saw he’d been in the league awhile.
