I hope Vegas threw in some fresh underwear for the panty-wetters in the market.

Blob, your thoughts?
And just a third rounder goin' back to Vegas as well.

Cool Hand Jim went bargain hunting :D
Yes, a very good move. Will be interesting to see how they make the numbers work, that's a lot of contract.
Yeah, that's why I was honing in on Alec 'Cisco Kid' Martinez at $4x1.

But I think Jim has got this wrapped up now.

Good pick up... still a few NHL players short of a team including no D depth that can play the right side.... after you stop chomping Doc’s cock..... ESQ ..... your thoughts?

Schmidt is an upgrade on Tanev. Mission accomplished; top 4 upgraded. Patience people.....

Benn will be a 5-7, Juolevi and/or Rafferty will be a 5-7, and a Fantenberg type will be signed to compete for 5-7 spot.

Schmidt is a great personality too. The market will love the guy and it'll be straight into the broadcast booth when he retires if he wants to do that.

Mr. Miserable still not happy? C’mon Doyle’s! Jim is like Blondie from the good the bad the ugly. Extremely calculating. He saw this coming, he got the vibe early that Pietrangelo was Vegas bound. Fuck is Jimbro good!!

The OEL strategy would have been totally consistent with this. Canucks were in the power position. Arizona ultimately didn’t make the deal, but we weren’t going to buy high. Arizona is in a cap squeeze, though, and they will be moving someone.
I understand that and it would have made sense short term with two contract dumps going the other way but that's a big number to accommodate beyond extending Pettersson and Hughes as they'd have to qualify Boeser at $7.5 million and then deal with Horvat and Miller as UFA's. That's the part that had me questioning whether they even had a plan.

Schmidt played the right side most of last season.

Benn can play the right side (as well as he can play anything).

Hughes claims he can and prefers it.

Fucking Genius
They don't call him Cool Hand Jim for nothing.

Master work right there, the bed wetting of the local media puts into genius stratosphere. ;)
This is why morons like me said Mackinnon sucks, Byram, O Reilly , Tavares, Dobson are all garbage. I watch the games with a lab who wears a blue vest. Doyle on the other hand can figure out who’s a decent player, he called Hamonic a stud one time ten years ago and I’ve never shut up about that.

Schmidt and Benn both play the right side as lefties Doyle. We don't need to worry about handedness anymore.

They will have 15+ million freed up two years from now in Eriksson, Luongo, Roussel, and Beagle. Neither Horvat nor Boeser nor Miller is looking at a raise of over 3 million (all likely less). It’s absolutely not a problem.

I’m good with this... depth is still thin. Did would have been drinking his semen if they coaxed Dion Phaneuf out of retirement.... ditto for ESQ. They have a top 4... still don’t see 5/6.... and don’t say Olaf


Furthermore there are still cap issues
