This needs it's own thread. What a masterpiece of an opinion piece.
yeah, watched that last night..epic.
I think this is the kind of stuff moving forward that we need to see more of if we have any hope of having the NHL step in and make a change as far as Melnyk is concerned.
As they said, I am sure it is happening now. How much the league can do is very critical.
I am sure the NHL has been in there since the Lebreton mediation.
Something happened between last game and yesterday's practice. Dorion did say a few weeks ago that he thought it was unfair to rate coaches performance mid season but here we are.
Somewhat related question.
How far below the cap floor would actual salaries have to get before the league deemed it cap circumvention?

If we start buying up insured contracts and roll out a team that costs 45 mil on a 60 mil cap floor is that circumvention?
I mean they traded for Pronger’s contract even though he was working at the league office at the time.
I hate their Toronto faces but they aren't wrong.

It seems sportsnet has taken the gloves off.
If that transpired it would be odd for Anderson to kind of throw Boucher under the bus after he got fired.Defintely. Here's my guess on what went down:
Dorion enters the room and berates players saying they can do better and stop making excuses.
Boucher stands up for the players and says "Excuses!?! How do you want us to win with a team that was decimated at the trade deadline? You made those moves, Pierre! You should have planned better! You come in here looking to deflect the blame!? Go shuffle up a gum tree, you ignorant fool!
Walking papers given.

Melnyk happened (and happens).Something happened between last game and yesterday's practice. Dorion did say a few weeks ago that he thought it was unfair to rate coaches performance mid season but here we are.
