Wow you wouldn't think a weasel like Pang would have that much say or power, now we have two Canadiens calling Hawk's games. It's ok. They just talk funny. And worship a king.

Just read where The GM has shutdown any chance of Patrick Kane returning next season. I get it for the long term but our scoring is anemic and 88 with 98 could be quite fun to watch. Dissapointing as far as I'm concerned.

Kane would’ve fit the plan. Short money, filled seats, improved offense over last year, and didn’t affect the long term cap situation.

Hopefully he finds a couple 20 something’s he can trade for.

Kane is tainted by the winged wheel.

KD is just playing hardball. There aren’t many teams in playoff position that can spend big on Kane.

Cap set at 88 million. Floor is 65 million. Wasn’t the cap supposed to be 88 million by the time 88 and 19 signed their lifetime deals? Stan is the # 1 GM!

I’d be prepared for a couple Of one year five milz deals by KD to get to the floor once the current crop Of UFAs is set free. Let’s hope some Weaponized cap space is included in his shopping.

Cap increased one Connor Murphy.
KD should call Buffalo and see what they are willing to pay to get rid of Skinner. Their first this year? Sabres don’t need another prospect that is 2-3 years out at this point. They should be at least challenging for playoffs. Dumping Skinner allows them to go after better UFA. They could afford Kane for sure at least to sell jerseys and fill seats.Thompson had a down year and Kane likely would help with that. Skinner will score goals in Chicago, keep team above cap floor, and likely end up on LTIR by the end of the contract.

I like the idea especially if they can get the #11 pick added in.

3 years, 9 million cap hit. Salary is 10, 7, then 5 million so it helps Danny not lose more money. It’s really only the one year after Bedard’s ELC at 9 million that may matter, but by then, Foligno, Dickinson, and Mrazek are all off the books freeing up 13 million. Cap likely increases another 8-10 million by then anyway which is what Bettman projected.
But yes, I’d need the 11th overall and maybe another sweetener. Even some pick swaps would be worth it. Hawks send their late 2nd rounder for Buffalo’s 2nd for example. Moving up 10-15 spots gets you a shot at a better prospect.

The point about LTIR is that there are always win now teams looking for LTIR bodies. No different than sending Seabrook to Tampa.

Vosters was an absolute joke...he sucks.
I understand why hawks brought him in after Pat...after the sex scandal the entire organizational image had to be sanitized...Vosters was Opie from Mayberry.
Ball is very good...a huge upgrade.
