Myers brainfarts lately aren't bugging me as much as his shot. He's a big dude, how can you not rip that thing? He steps into perfect shooting situations just to half fan some muffin wide.
Cap is going way up, they can buy him out easilyThey cannot buyout OEL.
His cap hit is 4+ in year 3 and 4 which are the last years before Hughes and Demko become UFAs, and before Miller enters the final three years of his deal (when he’s 34-36)
If you want to build a team to win a cup in the short term, it cannot involve buying out OEL.
maybe i'm just overestimating how much 4MM truly does inhibit the ability to put together a good roster.
Were .500!!!!!!!! (Kinda)
I’ve turned into Scrooge.You used to be more optimistic! Heck, we all realize the shape we are in; but enjoy the little moments.. Otherwise, this board would be unreadable bud. That's 'all I want for xmas'...lol

All that has happened is the team is playing to it's level. Arizona, SJ, Montreal, the mushy bottom third of the league and needing OT for that.i said at the start that losing any of these 3 games would be an embaressment. Somehow they made winning all three embarassing. Truly this is a Vancouver Sports team.
He had a hat trick game earlier thoughMaybe Kuzmenkos best game. Mikeyhev too, Russians looked real gud. Maybe Podz can come back with a vengeance and complete the trifecta.
Win last 8/11 and just hit .500 lol.Won 8 of the last 11. Definitely doesn't seem like it. Let's keep it up.
Yep.
We are right around where I figured we would be, before the season started.
Just took the scenic route to get there.
edit. Also I figured we would be ahead of the Kings & Seattle and behind St Louis and Preds.
Except ownership. LolRead these threads. They're not fooling anyone.
It's because we look roughly equal to the three teams we just barely beat in overtime, except we're all in and all three of them are deliberately tanking.
Teams that are not all in dont give retirement contracts to soon-to-be-30 year olds coming off of career years.All in teams don't sell their soon to be FA's. It sounds like we will definitely trade Schenn and more than likely trade Bo, and if Kuze won't sign we will trade him as well... that doesn't sound like a team that is all in.
Paying a 2nd to dump Dickinson, reupping Miller and Boeser and adding Mikh reflects an all in team.All in teams don't sell their soon to be FA's.

I picture you hyperventilating to the point of passing out after every game. Just enjoy the win for a moment, then worry about the teams problems for the next 72 hours.
Dickinsons contract is off the books in 2 years. Paying to dump him is win now.I would say they are moves that align with the direction the management team set... which wasn't all or nothing. It was try and win in 2 years.
