it will be fine for experienced gms in markets where teams win and players want to go there

it will be a hot mess for small market teams that players go to die

If that is the case, the strategy of building through the draft is a must. You need controlled talent and to target players with no NMCs. Patrick Berglund says hello to everyone by the way.

can't refuse to sign guys like Mats Lindgren when you only have a few d prospects under contract then though

and imagine how f'd up our cap would have been if Berglund did not walk out on us

I mean to what extent can you build through the draft?

We have a million prospects and none of them have shown they are going to be “good nhlers” yet.

I’m talking about guys in roch. Not Quinn and JJ. The guys who haven’t graduated.

At some point one them will have to turn the corner and take a big leap

The Panthers ARE NOT the shining example of a team built through the draft. Give me a break

I hate LIV Golf and most of the golfers that defected for greed. They look evil now when they show up, but I will say it felt more like Bryson was Happy Gilmore and Rory was Shooter McGavin on Sundee. Bryson should do the right thing and come back. Would instantly be loved.

Considered to be best defencive defenceman in the league?

yeah

salary cap never goes up like they say it will

- homiedclown

It doesn't tho... the highest raise since 18-19. If you take the 5.4 percent(well call it 5.5) increase into next year and then again the year after your still not at the 100mil mark.

Even before covid they weren't raising it very much after 14-15.

I thought I heard that on a broadcast. Some kind of defensive stat where he was best in the league.

Don't hate the player hate the game. PGA refused to pay their talent more. Another venture comes along offering big time money. Can't hate those dudes. Some of them would have never made that kind of bread.

It's been all over the board, very hard to project out 2 years or more.
4% looks about right, as a guesstimate. If so,
'-25-'26 penciled in at 5.14% = $92.5m
-'26-'27 @ 4% = $96.0m
That is $13.5m more than last season...and Skinner 's contract is done.
Just don't make huge killer mistakes along the way.

Once Trump beats Biden, the economy should stabilize with real growth rather than pumped up artifical runaway government spending that only serves to generate inflation that hurts disposable incòmes.

Besides Dahlin. I can’t say that we have any other star players.

NVDA is the new Cisco.

I was only 4 years old when the dotcom crash happened, but this AI bubble is vastly higher than those tech names were at that point.

This is going to end in a lot of pain once the music stops.

I give it 6-8 months tops.
