The Continuing Chronicles Of Jay Feaster's Incompetence

You're missing James Van Riemsdyk too, Ruki.

[Drock007]

So who wins the cup this year guys?

[Toe]

I would think Pittsburgh and New York in the East should have a good shot, while Vancouver, LA, and maybe Detroit are good in the West.

I dunno about Detriot i really think there gonna stop being a top team this year its gonna be a weird season

[Plubby]

Washington will be a sleeper team I think. Expectations have been tempered after the coaching debacle they went through. Also Carolina have made some big moves. It will be interesting to see if they finally help Cam Ward down back.

[Hewey]

Pittsburgh for the Cup, Yes! Yes! Yes!

[Toe]

I forgot about Carolina getting Staal and Semin. Should be interesting to see that. Do you play Skinner-E Staal line one and Semin-J Staal line two?

[PatDaMan]

Now that hockey's back, I can finally bide my time until next NFL season with something productive. Go Flyers.

Regarding this year's Flyers team (and yes, this is totally biased), I think they have a great shot at the cup. They have a ton of guys that can put the puck in the back of the net, and I think the Defense isn't as big of a question mark as people think. The D will surprise some people this season. My biggest fear is Bryz.

Oh shit, you're right! I feel bad for missing JVR, because I am excited to have him as a Leaf! I wanna see what he can do!

Lots of forwards, not a lot of forward positions. I am just glad that Connolly and Lomardi's contracts expire at the end of the year. Then, with one of our two buy outs we can get rid of Komi. Not sure who we'd use the other one on.

[Sweet Holy Moses]

We'll use the other buyout on Luongo. >_>

[Toe]

Unless the cap space is desperately needed, I would save the amnesty for possible trades.

[Ruki]

I think we're good for cap space going into next season. Something like $23 million, with 13 or 14 players signed.

Montreal apparently is already over $60 million for next season...and they still need to sign PK Subban.

Bryz has been playing awesome in Russia or where ever he went to play in the lock out i heard, hopefully he can keep it up

Actually, you have six mill of cap space, you're 4 million over the year 2 cap and Franson is still unsigned. Montreal is only $400K worse off with 2 UFA's unlikely to be re-signed and the aforementioned PK Subban

[Ruki]

Just checked capgeek, $6.7 million this year (for half a season? I would say that is a decent amount), and $22.7 million next.

[Plubby]

Ah you meant next season as in not this one, right.

[Ruki]

Correct.

Also? There is now a UFA interview period! From the day after the draft until June 30th pending UFAs will get to meet with potential clubs. I like this!

[Pizza]

I heard the draft lottery is going to give every non-playoff team a shot at the #1 draft pick, rather than the old system where you could only move up 4 spots. I like this.

[DMN in the House]

The defense begins!
