Someone has to want him for that to happen. And they really can't afford to be including assets to entice someone into taking him.

Exactly. That's the crux of the problem. No one wants the guy........certainly not at anything remotely close to a $5 million cap hit. Even if they retained the max (50%?), they'd have to include draft picks and/or prospects, both of which are in short supply. Thank you very much, Garth Snow.

Squander is the right word Ben. If they miss the playoffs I will be looking back at these two games.

Don’t worry
FL is squandering the squander

Whelp, this is it. They've put themselves in a helluva hole now and will have to earn their way in against some pretty damn good teams. They better show up

I still can't believe they're in the situation they are in with that team

Kurz- I know it's early here, but the Devils have yet to be shut out this season

Kurz is a Richard

Straight math is in the Isles favor.

The next five games do not IMO. I have a real bad feeling TB is suddenly going to catch fire.


And there's our great pp

There comes a time in a sequence like that where someone has to put the puck in the net.

At this point I'd really rather we go traditional and put two defenseman out on the pp.

Our defense is getting away with Sorokin’s brilliance.

Sorokin showing good burst to the top of the crease when challenging the shooter. If I could have one gripe about him so far in the NHL it's that he doesn't always do that. Good sign

I've seen less kicking motions get called back. No goal.

Florida is down 5-2 with a minute left. Let's hope we can hold on,
