It just occoured to me how up against the cap they are. $5m in space with just 14 players signed. Yeesh. they will dump everybody but their core and theyll be back with a vengeance in 2 years. its LA's turn next year anyways  Bowman did a pretty good job of cutting expenses and retooling the team after they won their first cup.This also speaks on how solid the core of this team is. this is such a great model franchise for the rest of the league. maybe someone from edmonton could intern there for the summer or something! | ||

also damage report just got released. Bishop had a torn groin that was bad enough that it risked seperating from the bone with continued play. Johnson broke his wrist too. | ||

Johnson broke his wrist too. Depending on the price I wouldnt be surprised if they tried to keep Vermette in town. He will probably ask for a 25-30 mil 5-6 years contract though so if he doesnt go for the hometown discount he will be gone too. the strenght of their 3 cup winning teams was the depth down the middle. I think they should keep that trend going. | ||

Johnson broke his wrist too. I agree that Sharp is the likely candidate to shake loose. He'd free up nearly 6MM in cap space on his own and would make a very useful addition to another team looking for a dashing, veteran left wing from Winnipeg who can put in 20-30 goals while sleeping with the other veterans' wives. Plus he's only signed for 2 more seasons so that makes taking him on more palatable. Naturally, when I think of teams with cap space to spare and a lack of veteran forwards, one team in particular comes to mind =P | ||

Also Vermette sat a bunch down the stretch so I really don't think they're that high on him he won like 66% of his faceoffs in the finals and scored some gwg after coach Q sat him in the playoffs. I think that was a good coaching move since he had a very strong finish after being scratched. They were so stacked down the middle this year again that its pretty hard for a guy who would be a good #2 center to supplant Toews or Richards on such a loaded top 6... If they dont make a run at him I would be surprised since he will probably be the best center available in free agency (unless Im missing someone ). | ||

I'm gonna get crackin on a new thread later this week. I'm not particularly in the know about the draft if anyone wants to do a write up for the first round and bigger names or something. re: hawks, they will absolutely trade Bickel if they find a sucker, but he's getting paid a fuckload for a 3rd liner who might break 30 pts. Versteeg and Sharp are far more tradable assets. I think those two return decent assets. | ||

Not my favorites, but Scott Darling is the only player from the hockey team near me to have ever started in a Stanley Cup game. I don't like the hawks all that much, but the fact that a past RiverKing gets a ring makes me happy. | ||

Scares me because Sather is sly enough to throw in a shitty defenseman or convince the Oilers that 50 games isn't a small sample size and somehow get the 16th overall pick out of Edmonton. Fucking Sather. Do not trust him. This was a look a blogger had at some UFA goalies (plus Talbot and some others). I still think 16 is too steep a price for something unproven with one year of contract left. In this draft, that pick is pretty much a sure thing (unless the Oilers keep it and draft Jason Bonsignore). | ||

Unless it were an ass draft, I would not trade the 16th for him heads up. I don't think he's quite that good. Schneider got the 8th just a few years ago. He's better, was better back then, and had a larger sample size. I wouldn't call the 16th a sure thing necessarily, but I think anything in the top 20 generally has a good chance of getting a decent NHLer. It's got significantly more value than picking at 27 or whatever the Rangers would be doing if they had not traded the next few decades of first away | ||
