Finally you’re exposed as a Senators fan ! Get ‘em boys!

Stutzle just said auf Wiedersehen to Fox

Jesus Christ lol

I intentionally didn’t start batherson for fantasy so he better do nothing.

Need some dinner ideas for later. Who’s got ‘em?

Montreals strip clubs are just a stone throw away though.

Here….we…..gooooooo

Sweet! Wife’s family is from Islip and they still live there. You mind me asking where in Islip?

Yeah but what is he going to do during the game today? Lol

I officially anoint this Ziby day since he will be getting a Hattie today in our 5-2 win.

Lol I have no idea. It actually wasn’t too bad and we had fun watching a Rangers victory so that’s all that matters.

Grille in the ville or something like that. Sketchy area lol

Fine fine. It was my call on Kravtsov ?

Really? I won? Lol nice!

So I met up with @Ozzy and @RJWantsTheCup. Fun time. Beers were flowing. They took me to a rather “questionable “. Pub but it’s all good. We had fun. Some women had all their teeth so that’s a plus. Get home and climb into bed and the better half rolls over to say “hey you survived” Now I want wait for the morning to meet my contractor and pretend I’m sober lol big rangers win!

Fair enough, but that would need to be kind of worked out before hand or at least given a gauge of interest before hand. If not we are looking at cap crunch and losing a bigger future piece.

So in all seriousness. Do you think either Kreider or Trouba wound agree to go anywhere in the next 3 years?

Always a possibility but it's a problem im willing to chance if it means we get one more piece now and keep this version of the window open

That's impossible until 2024 which is exactly when it's the right time to offer Fox the mother load.

I’m going to meet up with Ozzy so if you never hear from me again, he did it. Lol dont kiss me too much in the gdt. For trivia I’m going to guess the answer is Leetch. Probably him anyway.

Different strokes for different folks . I can also google how overpaid Subban is too we still are ignoring how we are putting a squad on the ice with 50m tied up in 6 players. I think we have 19m on cap space next offseason. Tie up 10 for Fox and you’re left with 9m for a backup goalie, a 3c assuming Chytil is your new 2c since you can’t afford to keep Strome, assume you want to keep Blais otherwise the Buch trade is even worse, replace Rooney (with Barron I assume who has some performance bonuses you have to hope he doesn’t reach) , say goodbye to Gauthier which is fine but then you still need a body to replace him with, and a backup goalie assuming you trade Georgie’s rights since he has arb and thry couldn’t afford a raise…. it’s definitely doable. However, does that make us better next year? If you can get Fox at around 7 even if it’s for 3 years, that extra few million might be the difference in keeping someone like a Strome (wishful thinking but still) and help unlock our window since I imagine the goal this year 100% is playoffs and gain experience to allow us to elongate a window rather than remain lateral or take a step back .

Well the point is things change. They also shipped him out so yeah. The earlier we sign Fox to his max deal the sooner we limit even short term spending or rounding out our roster. 50m committed to 6 players until 2024 is rough for the rest of the team. Signing him for more than you just reupped ziby also seems a bit strange in my eyes but that’s neither here nor there. Other teams have spent which is very true but there also are other teams with track records of having some pretty good bargain bridge deals. In no way am I saying to insult the guy. I’m just saying there are cap rules in place for a reason. So what if other teams take big risks with the idea that it’ll save em 2 million later when there are plenty of examples where it ended up being an overpayment by year 4 of 8. I’m willing to risk what will happen in 4 years because 4 years later, we have a much clearer picture of the cap, our other “can’t misses” in Kakko and Fox, and how close we’ve come to winning a cup.

So does Pk Subban. How did that go ?

I’m not even remotely suggesting you tell Fox “okay, here’s 4.5m…..” because that’s idiotic. I use examples of other teams that have guys in different stages of careers that bridge here and there to keep a team together. I try to see if I can get 3-4 years or so at 7m which takes him to 26-27 and either puts him right at last rfa or first year of ufa at 27. Buys us time to see how others unfold. We also really are banking someone is taking Kreider or Trouba or both with no retention. That’s possible but not probable unless we sweeten it.
